The Daily British Whig [~= A REAL POPES PEACE. | ADVOCATED BY LABOR A General Election Is To Come in Britain -- Labor and Socialists will Campaign for Peace Terms -- What Arthur Henderson Has To Suggest. (Canadian Press Despatch.) , London, March 5.--The campaign for the next general election already has begun. Arthur Henderson, late of the War Cabinet, finding that the secretaryship of the Labor party compels him to spend most of his time in London has decided to resign his seat in the Commons from Barnard Cas tle division of Durham and has been invited to contest the Southern divis-} fori of Eastham. Mr. Henderson addressed a meeting last night in Eastham, making a strong appeal for the abolition of secret diplomacy, for peace by conciliation and for a League of Nations. He said that before the war began the peo- ple entrusted foreign affairs to statesmen and diplomats and were paving dearly for their neglect. It had to be recognized that no greater disaster had occurred in the course of the war than the fatal omissien to do their utmost to keep Premier Kerensky and his government in power in Russia. The people must be on their guard against a repetition 8f the same fatal policy over a wider field. It is highly improbable, Mr. Henderson declared, that the war can be ended by decisive Prussian military triumphs. It might end by a process of exhaustion, Such a termination would be a disaster of the first magnitude to mankind. There remains, he said, a third alternative, a policy of con- ciliation through the combined forces of labor and socialism to secure a real peoples' peace. That did mot mean a surrender to the enemy or a patched-up peace or peace at any price, nor that the people are willing to condone German brutality or to leave Germany with all her power for mischief unimpaired, What the policy of conciliation meant was the de- struction of militarism, not only in Germany, but everywhere. Mr, Hen- derson then recited the wellknown war aims of the Labor party, including a League of Nations, A PROPOSAL TO UNITE SEVERAL PRESBYTERIAN AND METHODIST CONGREGATIONS. mmm -_-- Immediate Action Will Be Taken.

Ottawa, March §5.----Major-General Sir Sam Hughes is strongly urging upon the Goyernment the adoption of the plan he was seeking to put into effect just before he resigned the Militia portfolio, namely the es- tablishment of two Canadian Army Corps at the front, alternating in holding the front lines and in re- serve, The main object is, of course, to give opportunity for a periodical and real rest for the troops <n the firing zone. The men of the Can- adian Corps, under present con- ditions, are never really completely out of shell fire and able to enjoy a real rest of mind and body, except op the mare - occasion when they get "Blighty" or a short leave. Sir Sam maintains that if all the men now available in England for reinforce: ments are utilized, together with the men now gone overseas under the Military Service Act, there would be enough to form two Army Corps of three divisions each, holding the present. He believes that a reserve of two divisions kept just behind the firing zone, instead of being scattered in various units in England, could be used with greater effectiveness in equalizing the burden now carried' only by the men who have served for | months or years at the front. : WAR BULLETINS. -- - it is believed that Japan has already taken action in Eastern Siberia.
