ULTRA-PACIFISM WEIGHED
Sir.—The following ig. informative: Obadaih, verse 12, "Thou shouldst not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity.” "A crime against mankind— A crime to bear arms for your country, To man the walls when foemcn threat to climb, And sack the city? Or a crime to care For the same things as Nelson did and dare To think the same as “Welling:on.” O time degenerate. O hearts abased. Compared to you wild beasts that guard their lair Yours is the crime against mankind Who teach treason to man’s besi. instinct The defence of all that he loves best You claim 1o teach higher morality A vain pretence. Learn first the lower, Strive at that to reach Stern honesty and sturdy common sense.” —by "Francis Coutts.” I am, Qtc„ "LUX.”
