DANGER OF GERMAN PEACE
WEARE CURZON'S MESSAGE
Esri Curzon of Kedleston (Grand Mester) has addressed the following New Year's message to the Primrose League
A year ago I wrote in my New Year's message to the Primrose League that this terrible war might involve another year, and perhaps more of endurance and suf fering; and this foreboding has proved to be only too accurate. Indeed, the overcat crisis, the supreme trial, lies before, not behind us, and in the next We warmly welcome President W six months we may be confronted with authoritative declaration of Allien perils greater than any we have yet over- Aims.

Our generation will at least have died for freedom, but the next would be born to slavery.
The moral quality and breadth of v exhibited in the latter's address to gress are particularly evident in the claration that the peace negotial when they begin must be absolutely and that they shall involve or and no secret understanding of any This is the only kind of diplomacy the democracies of the world can tole Ponce we all destre Peace on Hohen- Bumanity has had to pay dearly for sollern terms we could probably obtain secret covenants entered into by Go without difficulty Rut any such peace ments, and we rejoice that Mr. Wiwould be a disgrace to ourselves and has so decisively proclaimed the d

It embodies the dostring of Freedom of navigation both in peace and war, except so far as it may be necessary to close the seas in whole or in part by international action for the purpose of enforcing international obligations via lated by any nation. With that inter- pretation of the doctrine of the freedom of the sens, to which the Central Powers attach so much importance, we all freely agree; and the Central Powers cannot challenge it, if, indeed, they are sincere in their repudiation of aggressiva inten- tions, No other formula that wo have seen meets so fully the stipulation that En Island Power like Great Britain is bound to make to ensure its safety and that of the Empire in time of war. It sooma to us to be a natural corollary to the League of Nations that freedom of navigation must be denied to any nation that violates international covenants fok- the maintenance of peace. EDUKA
We welcome, too, President Wilson's assertion of the moral issues involved i the claim that Belgium must be evacuated and restored.

Finally, we may say in a sentence that President Wilson's programme is in e- sential respecta so similar to that whim the British Labour Party has put for ward that we need not discuss any point of difference in detail. The spirit of this historical utterance is a spirit to which democracy all over the world can respond and, if it reaches the people of the Central Powers we believe it will reinvigorate the popular movement to warda pesce in those countries now under the yoke of Prussian military autocracy, and give their demand for peace.
