The Anti-War Movement

The Anti-War Movement.

"One murder made a [unclear: villain] "Millions a hero. Princes were privileged

To kill and numbers sanctified the crime."

Such is War, Napoleon himself described it as an anachronism, but he nevertheless saturated Europe with blood To-day a hundred years later, we realise the absurdity of war, and yet once more may be drifting into a still more dreadful holocaust than the grim horrors of 1914-18. This [unclear: seeming inevitable] ness of conflicts must be combatted if civilisation is to survive, and [unclear: we look] to the Anti-War movement [unclear: to carry] on its great service of educating public opinion to denounce war so that it will [unclear: ceate] to exist as the "find arbitrament of nation."

It has been said, with some justification, that the recent Anti-War Congress in Wellington [unclear: tended] to he Communistic and so [unclear: definitely anti Fascia that the des to of Fascia] almost caused he destruction of war to fade into the background. Anti-War movements in other parts of the wood have not such [unclear: tendencies], and to fact that the Congress had, is [unclear: possibly] due to the greater enthusiasm of the Communist element in the movement.

The aim of the movement here it wider, and we commend it to all right-thinking people. It is to bring together a group of student found by a common [unclear: sterest] in the final outlawry of we, who although they differ in the philosophic outlook are agreed the war is "Public Enemy No."
