HAT does England want out of the war? The question is suggested by one of the * recent phases of the kaiser’s propaganda in this country, as shown in the utterances of some of the kaiser’s senators and some of the kaiser’s news- papers. ; These have done their best to create the im- ression that Britain in some mysterious way is Flocking peace negotiations until she can grab cer- tain advantages, or territories. i It is just as false as all the other stories which the kaiser lovers have sprung. It is false on the whole and false in detail. ‘ In the first place it is not Britain’s say as to when peace shall be declared. As the bankers of the allies, the United States, thru President Wilson, An call the war off at any time. As the principal military power in the alliance, France can do the same thing. What England does want out of the war is "best explained by the record of what England has asked for. First—She wants Germany to get out of Bel- gium. She declared war on Germany, when Ger- Many refused to stay out of Belgium, and offered Germany every opportunity to preserve the peace submitting every issue to arbitration. Utterly unprepared for war, Britain only drew 130T Seventh Ave. Near OF SCRIPPS NORTHWEST LEAGU Pelegraph News Service of the U: |THE SEATTLE STAR OF NEWSPAPER. Why England Is in the i STAR—FRIDAY, AUG. 31, 1917, PAGE 6 the sword when Germany repudiated every obli tion of their joint treaty guaranteeing Belgium neutrality. Second—Britain wants Germany to respect the freedom of the seas—to quit piracy. She also wants Germany to stop the building of a great fleet, THE DECLARED POLICY OF WHICH IS THE DISRUPTION OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE. Years before the war, Britain proposed to Germany that both powers quit throwing their money away on dreadnaughts and confine their navy building within the bounds of common sense. GERMANY REFUSED EVERY TIME. Britain wants Germany to adopt arbitration instead of war as the means of settling interna- tional disputes. She proposed this to Germany at The Hague and elsewhere many times before the war, AND GERMANY ALWAYS REFUSED. Britain wants Germany to respect private property and merchant ships at sea, both in war and peace. She proposed these measures, BUT GERMANY REFUSED. So much for the record. Now for the future. Britain certainly wants no commercial privil- eges from Germany, as she was carelessly permit- ting German merchants to trade in and exploit both England and her Colonial empire before the war, |..E D. K's." ||; % COLYUM | “Persuasive Peggy” BY MARAVENE THOMPSON Copyriaht, Paaet War and What She Wants Out of It) while Germany refused to let England trade with German colonies. She had the right at any time to follow Ger- many’s own course and give her own merchants and manufacturers preferential tariffs. She never exercised this right, BUT GERMANY DID. So much for the German gibberish about Britain’s jealousy of German trade. It is well to note that during the war Britain has sacrificed at least a third of her trade to Japan and to neu- trals in order to supply her allies with shipping. Instead of “grabbing trade,” Britain has been losing it thruout the war. As to colonies, now that she has taken them, England may not turn the German colonies back to Germany just out of goodness of heart, but all of them together are not worth the price of one month's war. No question about Germany’s fever-ridden, flea-bitten African colonies is going to stand in the way of peace. Ot course it will be a loss to humanity if Germany’s colonies are returned to her; for her military caste has converted them into hell holes for the unfortunate black and brown men who live in them, and no white man—not even a German, can be persuaded to emigrate to them, while they are under German rule. é ) Next Novel ‘ “The Moss Mystery” BY CAROLYN WELLS japaper Berrios Belle, that you've decided not to \ eclyamic as a Democratic landslide! There is another thing Britain wants—the end of Turkish murder and pillage in Armenia, Syria and Mesopotami Certainly Britain is not willing for the tender German to succeed the lovely Turk as the owner of this valuable real estate—but Britain has never before nor since the war laid any claim to them herself. If the world powers can set up a system of self-government government by an_ interna- tional commission in these harried countries, there will be no opposition in London. What England wants out of the war is exactly what America wants—the victory of democ- racy and a peace based on justice—a peace which will endure as long as self-governing men are capable of reasoning and governing them- selves by the principles of justice and the teachings of Christianity. The best answer to all the chatter about Great Britain today is found in the Australian, Canadian, New Zealand and South African armies fighting in France for democracy. The circle of free commonwealths, self-gov- erned and happy, girdling the globe and bound to 3ritain by nothing but the sentiment of a common origin and fair treatment, is the best answer to “What does England want?” or Old John Patton—-Old John Patton Editor’s Mail | carried off first premium on all | the staple products he displayed.|.
