---___-----------THE LATE…

AN ERRONEOUS IDEA.
AN ERRONEOUS IDEA. Sir,—In reference to the presenta- tion to Mr. C. B. Stanton, M.P., at the Pal&cc, Mountain Ash, last Fri- day week there is a mistaken idea abroad. The presents were not from the Newtown Welcome Home Fund, but from a few friends in the dis- triet.-I am, W. TAYLOR, Sec. Newtown Welcome Home Fund.
THE PEACE MOVEMENT.
THE PEACE MOVEMENT. Mr. Editor, The Rev. James Jones, Elim, Cwmdare, the chair- man of Dr. Price's Peace Propagan- da Meeting, has sent me a private letter, offering me a few facts and fancies, which I greatly appreciate, together with a very fatherly advice on public debates, over which I have sinCe duly pondered. Of course, fools do rush into print when angels fear to tread such a perilous path. Mr. Jones' letter contains a long and laborious argument against past wars in general and the present war in particular, with which every sane man who can follow the elaboration fully agrees. But Mr. Jones' Tol- stoian faith 1 severely doubt. He soberly states in cold blood that if a big bug," or burglar, would enter his house by day or by night to steal his silver spoons, or his child's life, or his wife's honour he would (I pre- sume) offer him a few remarks on such wicked habits, but would "not resist him." 1 must admit, Mr. Editor, that I have not yet reached such giddy heights of moral perfec- tion. If the intruder enters 4 Park Lane he will be expelled through the nearest exit, door, window, or grat- ing, wholesale or retail, in less time, sir, than it takes you to say "Jack Robinson." May be, remnants of the "old man" still live in me, but 1 faintly trust that when the "old man" dies out the "old woman" will not come in to reside. No attempt is made to answer my question. 1 innocently enough thought Mr. Jones "was always ready to make his defence to any one who asks from him a reason for the hope he cher- ishes." 1 take it for granted that Mr. Jones and othpr ministerial friends know quite well that "A.P.P.S." means "Aberdare Propa- ganda Peace Society," and not "Aberdare Party Propaganda Socie- ty," which is a slightly different move. Well, Mr. Jones, may we rest in peace, whilst the world is at war, because our hero lads die to de. fend us.—Yours sincerely, CYNOG WILLIAMS.
MR. BRACE AND THE WAR. !
MR. BRACE AND THE WAR. Dear Sir,—In your issue of last week Mr. Matt Lewis compares the utterances of Mr. Brace in 1913 and the same gentleman's views at the present day, and quotes Mr. Brace as saying in 1913 "every argument goes to show that democracy ought to find a common ground for the settling of their disputes without the arbitrament of the sword, and where will you find that common ground apart from the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Here are the principles ac- cording to which they may settle their disputes and their differences by argim4mt -aBd negotiation and ar- rangement and conciliation rather than by the sword." Did not Sir Edward Grey by argu- ment, by negotiation, by arrange- ment, and conciliation, seek to per- suade Germany to keep her pledges and observe the neutrality of Bel- gium ¡- The Bully of Berlin and his blood-thirsty Prussian Ministers of State would not listen to argument, or conciliation, but trampled Bel- gium under their heels in their mad rush, dealing death and destruction, on every hand, massacring old men and feeble women; the German soldiers, the Socialist "comrades" of Mr. Matt Lewis rioting and violating the daughters of the land they had invaded. Mr. Matt Lewis knows all this, of course, and in order to under- stand his attitude, I would like to, ask him one or two simple questions. Has he ever read the" Hymn of Hate," whose first and last lines are as follows French and Russian, they matter not, We have one foe, and one alone-" England. 'Would he have a conscientious ob- jection to knocking down the first German soldier who treated any of his female relations as the women and girls of Belgium have been treated ? Mr. F. W. Wile, the famous cor- respondent, is quoted as saying:- A German officer told an American friend of mine in 1914, as they were standing OIl the station platform of Louvain, that devasted Belgium was a garden spot compared to what the German Army would do in England. Since then Germany has deported, and enslaved tens of thousands of Belgian working men and working women, to say nothing of the myr- iads previously massacred. When you read the Hymn of Hate do vou imagine that the fate of working- class Britain will be any more merci- ful under the German conquerors' 'lashr It will be, in all probability, unspeakably worse. The only privi- leges left to the British workingmeJi; will be to do as they are told; they may be permitted to hold meetings. If they do, there will be armed guards on the platform alongside the chairman, and when anything is said that is displeasing to their task- masters a sword will be crashed down on the table and the meeting will be over. That is the Prussian way—even in peace time. Do you fancy it will be any different whel" the German Army is in occupation of this country r Would Mr. Matt Lewis have any conscientious objec- tion to fighting if the German gun9" were booming in the Aberdare Val- ley and his own loved ones were io.' danger of worse things than death?' —Yours faithfullv, TAFFY.
