IDEALS OF THE LABOUR MOVEMENT.

The revival of the peace propaganda ̈in question has not passed unnoticed in Great Britain. But it has excited nich less interest in this country than it has done in neutral countries, or for that matter in Germany, for the simple reason that Great Britain is at this moment not thinking of peace. That small section of the Brtfish people which is in favour of peace no larger than it was a year ago; it is almost unrepresented in Par- liament, and for all practical purposes of government it may be said to be negligible.

The rock on which all such overtures as

are now being made must inevitably split is the knowledge, which the British people have, that the objects for which
