Major Pharazyn.

In an interesting speech, Major Pharazyn related several personal anecdotes of his war experiences [unclear: He] said that imperialistic expansion and commercial rivalry, inevitably engender war, which has itself developed into a commercialised art British shalls were used by the Turks at Gallipoli While British soldiers died to capture German guns which were brought home as trophies. British manufacturers are now busy producing more guns to replace them. He instanced advertisements in recent German magazines for Vickers (British) guns. Cambridge University recently conferred an honorary degree on Sir Basil Zaharoff (an armament magnate), while Professor Dickinson was censured by Leeds University for speaking against war.

If "We don't want war" means anything, it means that we are determined to stop war.

Major Pharazyn satirised the attitude "I don't want war, but if King and country need me, I will go."

"We have to decide," said he, "which is the greater loyalty to the nation or to the human race. To choose the former before the latter may mean the destruction of the greater part of the population and a general retrogression of civilisation.

There is in this mad muck-up in this world at present an uprising of a spirit determined to put an end to conditions that will inevitably lead to race suicide.

Mr. D. G. Edwards followed with an inspired reading of John [unclear: doc] Passos "Woodrow Wilson."
