Resistance to Conscription.
Resistance to Conscription. FEELING IN THE VALLEYS. The Issue. A Conscription Bill is now before the  of Commons. Lord N orthchffe and Mr. Lloy?d George have had their way, and the country is being stampeded into accepting a principle which undermines the foundations of our na- tional life, Already the far-sighted Trades Unionists see the red light ahead, and the vote of the iraaes Union Congress reveals, the fact that the or- ganised Labour world has realised the death blow such a measure, if passed would deal to all hope of working class aspirations towards better conditions of life. If Labour does not smash the Bill, the Bill will smash Labour. That fact has to be realised. Neither the threats of Mr. Asquith, the ambitious sentimentality of Air. LLoyd George, the assurances of Mr. Balfour, the crude military ideals of Lord Kitchener, nor the muddled statistics of the new national institu- tion, Lord Derby, must be heeded. the workers do not want the principles of If the used to strengthen the sinister alliance of George—Northcliffe—Milner and Bottomley, the organised Labour Movement must act en- ergetically, promptly and decisively. If it does, the Conscription movement will be paralysed, and the British "Blood and Iron" powers will he shattered. If it does not, the workers will be bound hand and foot when the Industrial Armageddon begins when peace is declared. There must be no side issues; the erratic statis- tics of the muddled scheme of Lord Derby must not count; the vague interpretation of an unauthorised pledge wrung from a brow- beaten Prime Minister must not enter into the question at all. The issue is plain. If the workers do not want their children to be the victims of au M-responsible military caste they must smash the Bill. The next few weeks will mean the r.ictory or the failure of Trades Unionism. We told we are duly suspicious; that the Bill is only a temporary expedient that it is but for the period of the war. We have reason to be suspicious. During the last few months, many of the Trade Union rights, won by many a tragic strike. and much i victimisation, have a.vay, hare beett srippres^ed criti- cism has been silenced by the Defence of the Reakn Act. Suspicion! What miner or railwayman has not reason to be suspicious P Industrial dispute after industrial dispute has been settled by re- ference to commissions and arbitration courts, and every one of. these has shown that the worker always loses and Cabinet Ministers and company directors always win. Agreement after agreement has been nullified by legal flaws and capitalist sh-a^p practice. Clauses are put. in the Munitions Bill and countermanded by proclamations sftid Orders im, Council. Then the politicians come, and say,, Don't be suspicious; we mean well; you have our pledged word, and honoured faith, and sacred guarantees." The workers know by hitter experience how canting all these oatchl Words are. They must watch this time and must! not fail. To Win the War! Conscription in a modified form is necessaryl to win the war, and avoid an inconclusive peace Weare tired of asking what is meant by an inconclusive peace. Mr. Lloyd George poses as the national, saviour, a. mixture of William Pit and Wil- liam Tell, leading the nation from the Terror of the Munit,ionsAcr, to the Triumph on the Rhine. Germany mast be smashed. Popular opinion is guided by this talk. The average man still thinks that the Allies in the West can smash the German lines, and by a lightning! stroke drive the enemy out of France and Belgium, and force the Kaiser to sue for The, lessons of tjhe palst year must be peace. learned. The whole position is a deadlock. In their impregnable positions both armies face each other, the soldiers on both sides praying that the catastrophe will soon be ended, but the peers and the politicians go on with their wild talk. We may have another Loot and another NLive Chapelle, more useless slaugh ter will go on on probably a larger scale, but in the end an inconclusive peace is bound to result, for in modern warfare events have proved that no aide can gain decisive military victory. Sooner or later the Governments will realise the situation. The workers must realise it now and say. with no uncertain voice, that this crime must not be added to by the further im- position. of militarism on Great Britain. If this mad orgy of insanity is to be ended, they must take the first step and claim that a general armistice should be called, and the Governments made to settle their international problems be- fore Europe goes down to chaos and degenera- tion. War has never settled anything: this war will not. Ideas cannot be crushed by ma- chine guns. 1 Resistance in the Valleys. If the Bill becomes law, there will be resistance and determined resistance throughout the country, and South Wales will again do its share. In the valleys we have seen the caval- ry cattering up the hills to intimidate, the strikers of Aberdare and Tonypandy. These facts are not easily forgotten. The numbers of young men pledgd. to resist tcrow more and more every day, and the No- Conscription .Fellowship has made numbers of new members. There will be no mistake about their attitude. Much is being said about the Conscience Clause. Who is to define conscience? Is it Mr. Lloyd George P, is it one of the duties of Mr. Masterman? Has Lord Kitchener any say in the matter ? Are the tribunals to be instructed "In the Gifford lectures of Mr. Balfour? We are not awa.re that the Conseriptionists have brought in this clause in. a spirit of broad- minded tolerance. It is not so. The Conscience Clause is an attempt to evade 'opposition to the Act, but it will not succeed. Some of us believe that the world will never be improved by war, and that instead of crushing evils it only causes many more. The path to progress cannot be paved o-y bayonets We will refuse to take part in this crime of the ages. If the Government force the issue they will have to fill their prisons; we will not be Conscripts. The South Wales valleys have men many struggles for liberty and freedom; Keir Ilardie- is dead, but the idea is alive, and when the time comes we will be true to the memory of Hardie, and fight Conscription whatever the consequences may be.

1915 and 1950.11
1915 and 1950. A PATRIOTIC POT-POURRI, (Continued). I am afraid this war (much to the chagrin and regret of all jingoes, junkers and chauvin- ists) will come to an end before I come to the' end of the selection of extracts from- Dr Home's selections from the writings and utter-! ances of persons affected by the" bacillus pat-1 rioticococcus" in his remarkable essay on "Poisons that Prevent Progress." So without ,any further introductory remarks I will plunge immediately into the continuation of the extracts where I left off last week:- Great Horatio self-styled as the T Great War Orator and the Editor of 'John Bull," who started the world in the first issue of his gossipy editorial in 'John Bull,' af- ter the murder of Archduke Fordixiand by the following headlines, 'To Hell With Ser- via.' Soon after the appearance of this head- line the great Horatio gets into the grip of the deadly 'patrioticus bacillus,' and he rants, raves and writes like a madman, as I will show later. The extracts I append herewith are cull- ed from a speech Bottomley delivered .at the London Opera House about a month or so after the declaration of war. The speech is character- istically called, Bottomley's Battle-Cry by the Great Horatio, and for boastful pomposity and prolific propbc-??,y can only be equalled 61't o?n i v be by the wily Winston Churchill and his patriotic outbursts in the House of Corn moras prior to his hurried exit as Sea Lord: — Now Ladies and Gentlemen, I have said that in my view it is not going to be a ion- vviw, ana I am suitguLJ-a enough to think; that the time is rapidly approaching when we may begin to consider—which, as far as I know, no one has yet done—what is going to be the immediate outcome of it. I do not propose to indulge in any high-flown language aoout the certain victory of our arms, or about the might of our Empire. It is quite unnecessary to do so. No one short of a madman cou-ld have challenged such forces as' are now ■arranged against the enemy.There- fore I say, it is not worth while talking ab- out' the righteousness of our cause, and all the rest of it. Before very long our arms wi'fi be successful, and we shall have to con- sider the conditions of settlement—the final reckoning. And here I want respectfully to utter a warning. When the time comes, do not let us have any maudlin sentimentality about it. Dont let the Love—your brother sroite- the- other— cheek party suddenly spring up again. Let it be, if you will, peace with honour, but it must be PEACE WITH PRO- FIT as far as WE are concerned. It must be a business settlement this time, and a per- manent one. I will tell you what in my judg- ment as a man of affairs and a man of the world, the only lines upon which those carry- ing on the government of this country ought to accede to terms of peace. I am not going to talk about the claims of our gallant Al- lies they can look after themselves. But as far as England is concerned I think our terms are simplicity themselves. I have jot- ted them down here just in the form of a business memorandum. The first thing that must be agreed upon as One of the terms of peace is the handing 0ver to Great Britain of the German war- ships. I have every reason to believe that they will be found to be intact and uninjured, and that they can be handed over in good condition, not even "reasonable wear and tear excepted." Every European nation knows (except Germany) that by tradition, by destiny, we are the natural police of the seas. We must have such a settlement that will leave our naval supremacy unchallenged and unchallengeable. Then point No. 2, which I will ask the Kaiser to take notice, of, is the payment of an indemnity sufficient to cover not only the cost of the war, but the loss of trade which we have sustained and provision for the de- pendents of the killed and wounded. Now point No. 3, which is a very important matter as far as we are concerned, but which should ceria-inly be insisted on, is the parti- tion of the German Empire into various small States as they existed in 1866. I have good reasons to believe, from re.presentations made to me by Germans and friends of Germans, that as far as some of those States a.re concerned, they would gladly return to that. condition of affairs. But whether they want it or no, we must have no more Ger- man Empire. Then point No. 4, which is last, but a vital and paramount matter. We M, List, have the dethrone:ment and banishment of the Kaiser." Dr. Homes, in his essay, with his cutting and sarcastic humour, criticises every point In the above extract but the following bits must suffice to show the trend of his criticism: — Bottomley presumes in his egoistic patrio- tic pride to dictate his terms of peace just two months after the outbreak of war. It reminds me of ftie fellow who counted his tur- keys in a public house two months before the i-affle came off—when he found out that he had drawn a blank. Bottomley evidently drew a blank, for from the records the European War lasted long after the year 1916two years af- ter Bottomley's Battle Cry, and there were no signs of the Allies getting the Germans out of the North of France then. without mentioning the triumphant entry of the lTIies into Berlin, which Bottomley prophesied later would hap- pen Christmas, 1914. Of course, Bottomley, like Bemliardi, be- lieves in the righteousness of his cause and that God is on his side jut t as each man w ho sees the blues sees and swears there is a bobby by his side. "Of course, Horatio must say, 'Do not let us have any maudlin sentimentality,' in much the same way as an intoxicated person says, "Now, don't let us act as intoxicated persons; let us show we are sober.' Not only do Horatio's terms of settlement suggest simplicity in themselves, but they sug- gest simplicity (or the simpleton) in Horatio hitnself. He must really believe that the highly militarised Germans are going to hand over to him (for undoubtedly he represents John Bull") their Navy only for Horatio (when the guns are silenced. Of course, for it would be an insult to the guns to compete with Ho- ratio's stentorian voice) to sing, "Hold your hand out,, naughty boy." It would be as absurd for Horatio to ex- pect the noon to turn into cream cheese or for the motor-car to change into a wheelbarrow as to expect the German Empire to transmogrify itself into the 1866 State staare." Then, as to the last point made by Bottom- ley, Dr. Homes says "t would be as absurd to think that the German Empire would cease to exist if Kaiser William were removed, as it would be absurd and ridiculous to think that the House of Commons of the British Isles ceased to exist because the great Horatio Bot- tomley, M.P. for Hackney, was removed from Parliament and banished to the Chiltern Hun- dreds. William and Horatio are mere flies on the wheel, and the sooner both know it the better for them and the world." After this orisiticm of Bottomley's Battle Cry, the Doctor proceeds with an analysis of some of the prolific pen-pourings (presumably with the celebrated "John Bull" fountain-pens noted in these days) of Bottomley. On the ground that it would be too much like lis- tening to the proud ceck crowing on his own dung-hill, the 'Doctor has avoided quoting Bot- tomlev from his kaleidoscopic articles in "John Bull." so he kas confined his selections of Bot- tomley's writings from some of the Sunday pa- pers. The selections by Dr. Homes are numer- ous, but the following will suffice: — The nation must be on its guard, for there is treachery aifoofc. It is the Press, and not Parliament, which is mailing this war. The Press, the watchdog of the people, must ma their fiery cross to be carried near and far-. "No peace until every soldier of the enemies' armies has thrown down his arms in uncondi- tional surrender.' No peace until our troops garrison every German city. No peace until our warships ride in every German waterway, and every German ship is sunk or has surrendered. No peace until every fortress on German soil is dismantled and razed to the ground. No peace until a war indemnity has been shackled firmly on to Germany that will take her 500 years to pay." The following are the comments of Doctor Homes on the above extract: -— From the records I have in my possession two full years have elapsed since Bottomley delivered his Blundering Battle Cry, and the date of the 'Sunday Chronicle' in which the above words of wisdom were penned by Bot- tomley and still he goes on repeating the emp- ty tomtlweya. ddle he started with. He is like the a l- tomtlweya, ddle he started with. He is like the al- coholic, who one having taken up a parrot cry (which has no meaning), goes on repeating it so often that he ultimately comes to believe it. Later, of course, Horatio, like the intoxicated person, in his sober movements, will find he was living in a fool's paradise. The cook crowed from morn to might on his dunghill, but no egg slid he lay." Next week I hope to give Dr. Homes' ext- racts from Wins tone Churchill, Crooks, R. J. Campbell, Hall Caise and Marie Corelli. ABRACADABRA. I

I 4r., 8 Civilian in Uniform. I John Murphy, labourer, Penydarren, charged with illegally wearing a military uniform, plea- ded at Merthyr on Tuesday that he met a pal who was in the Army, and after they had a few drinks, witness asked him for the loan of his uniform to have his photo taken. He didn't mean any harm.—P,C. Griffiths said he saw defendant wearing the uniform of the 41st Welsh Regiment. The uniform belonged to a-a absentee, who had Murphy's clothes on. De- fendant told witness her did it for a lark." A fine of 9/- or 7 days was imposed.
I -The Palace.'I
The Palace. I The programme at the Palace is af an ex- ceptionally attractive character this week-end, and contains a fine adaptation of a story by John Strange Winter, "Grip." It will be re- membered that "Beautiful Jim" was written by this author, and this fact lends an added inter- est to this production. Also the artistes are well known and very popular with Palace audiences. They are — Fred Graves as Grip; Elisabeth Risdon as Margaret Eden; and A. V. Bramble as Loiiis Philippe (afterwards King af France. "Charlie at the Bpnk" is still running like "Charley's Aunt, and as big a draw as ever. A nice little travel in Italy is "Reiti," and a war topical dealing with Hungary is also being shown. The remainder of the programme is all that can be desired for variety, and interest. On Monday next a very special English melo- drama is to be shown, and one that will catch the public fancy right away, "The Coal King" is a fine picture, and should be seen by all. It is full of excitement, and the plot is a good one, and a picture we can recommend. On Thursday of next v/eek the special picture is a story of the stage, always a popular theme. "I"xom Poi-ge to Footlights," a. title that speak s for itself—a picture of strong dramatic interest and stirring incidents, which will be supported by an excellent selection of comedy, dramatic and interesting- items, and, charming music, which will jjlease all wlio make it their pleasure to visit the Palace.

I Bargeed Pioneer Committee. I A successful deputation of the above Com- mittee waited upon the No. 8 Lodge of the Elliots Steam Coal Committee, hold in the English Baptist Chapel, Brithdir, 'on Tuesday, the 4th inst. The Chairman, having welcomed the deputation in the name of the Committee, called upon the delegates to explain their pro- posals.—Comrade Jack Godfrey briefly intro- duced the deputation, and called upon Com- rade Morris FitzGibbon to explain the aims of t.llf "Pioneer" Committee. Comrade FitzGibbon, in the course of his remarks, pointed out how the PIONEER had been heavily penalised for standing up for Trades Union principles during the shop as- sistants' dispute at Merthyr, and, as a conse- quence, it bad been greatly handicapped in its activities in many directions. He went on to say that after this war the need of a Labour newspaper would be more than ever necessary, and he therefore appealed to the members I present to do their very utmost to push the l sale of the "Pioneer" in their district. One reason he advocated the "Pioneer" was be- cause it was not run by leaders, as the Daily Citizen" had been, and that it would publish the views of the rank and file, which no other papers owned by the capitalists would do. As this paper was in great need of as- sistance, he hoped the members would support it, and give their printing to the "Pioneer." Coun. J. Pope also spoke in support of the "Pioneer. After a few questions had been asked, and answered to the satisfaction of the members present, the deputation retired for a few minutes. On the deputation returning, the Chairman announced that the Committee had decided to 'elect two delegates to attend the Pioneer" Committee meetings, and that they had also decided to have their printing done by the Pioneer Labour Press. Comrades George and Brown were the dele- gates appointed to the Pioneer Com- mittee. GROESFAEN LODGE, S.W.M.F. A deputation of che "Pioneefr" Committee awaited on the i er8 or the above .lodsce • '-n Friday evening last. The deputation consisted of Messrs. Tom Matthews, Billie Jones and W. T. Lloyd. They were accorded a splendid wel- come. The great need for a Workers' paper was made manifest by the splendid appreciation given each speaker. A few readers wero im mediately obtained, and four members appoint- ed to the "Piqneer "Committee, with a view to taking what steps were necessary for its further assistance. We are pleased to hear that owing to the "Pioneer" Committee's endeavours, the paper has justified itself owing to its having been read by several persons in the Western Val- ley. We hear also that the printing of the Lianover and Abernant Colliery Committees will find is way to the Pioneer" Office. The Blackwood Trades and Labour Council have decided to send their printing to the Pioneer" Office, An I.L.P. branch has been stai-ted at Blackwood with a. membership of 35. Mr. Sid Jones, oheckweigher at Llanover Colliery, is to be complimened on his activities in the neighbourhood, and I am sure will be an asset to the movement. Mr. Sid Jones has a'lso done good work towards the Labour Press.

THE GERI "SENSATION."
THE GERI "SENSATION." (To the Editor of the PIONEER.) Dear Sir,—In your issue of January 8, under! the heading of "A Deri Sensation," you pub- lish a, report of what you allege transpired at the previous Sunday evening service in the Deri Wesley an Chapel. It is not my intention' to discuss in the columns of your paper the prea- cher's theme, nor any attitude in connection with it. (That will be dealt with elsewhere.) But to challenge the truth of your correspond- ent's report. That I interrupted is quite true, and I was justified in the judgment of the whole congregation, with one exception; but I positively deny the four following passages in the report:—(1) that I said, Get out of that pulpit, you kid" (2) that another member of the church, himself a trustee, said, "You might have reserved that until the end"; (3) that several members of the congregation and the trustee left the building; (4) that prayer was offered, led fey me, on behalf of the peccant young preacher. Until your correspondent can prove by the signed evidence, say of two per- sons present at the service (which, I presume, would be an easy matter if, as he alleges, sev- eral persons left when I interrupted) that even onQ of the above statements are true, he dis- qualifiies himself for the position which he now holds, and forfeits the confidence of the public. His reputation is at stake, and unless he can substantiate what he has written, then judgment must necessarily follow.—I am, Yours faithfully, W. J. GILES. 1 and 3 Central Buildings, Deri, January 11, 1916.

I Settled in Wales. P, I AUSTRIAN WHO IS ENTITLED TO SYMPATHY. A case m whieh several Welsh M.P.'s are interesting themselves is sufficiently curious to be at least worth quoting. The victim is an Austrian by birth..For many years he edited a < revolutionary journal in that country, andi having twice served short terms of imprison- -i ment for attacks on the Emperor, got 5 years' penal servitude for the third offence. Thanks to • his friends he escaped, and took asylum in London, subsequently settling down in business in Wales. Unfortunately, he omitted the for- mality of taking out naturalisation papers, and now he is interned, because Britain, with whose cause he is in almost fierce sympathy, is at war with the country he hates most in the world
