We shall have, however, to do much more than we have done. We do not yet fully realise that we are at war. Our pleasures have not been lessened. Useless and wasteful expenditure still goes on. We ought to be saving our means to help the oppressed and to help our Motherland. As far as I can ascertain, we have given up few, if any, of our pleasures. Our newspapers are full of the details of race meetings, of theatres, of sports, and useless expenditure on various things has not been lessened. Can it then be suggested that we have yet risen to the conception of what this world-war is, and that we have done what it is our duty to do for the brotherhood of humanity? We ought to sink all our political and other differences, and fight for this one aim, the salvation of our Empire and of our people, and for the oppressed amongst the nations. If we do so we shall be doing something for peace, something for justice, something for freedom, and hasten the coming of the day—

" . . . . When brotherhood shews stronger
Than the narrow bounds which now distract the world.
When the cannons roar and trumpets blare no longer.
And the ironclad rusts, and battle flags are furled.
When the bars of creed and speech and race, which sever
Shall be fused in one humanity for ever."
