BY ROBERT BLATCH FORD.

The author of these articles is the best-known, leader of the English Socialists, and is‘pne of the founders of the modern Socialist movement

in Great Britain. Under the

nom de guerre of "Nulloullm" he wrote "Merrie England,” of which one and a half million copies have been sold. He is gditor of the “Cla- i'lon,’" which is by general consent ' the ablest and most influential of

Socialist journals; and he is master of a style that for vigour and terse- ness has been surpassed by no Eug- lish writer since the days ot’ Cob- bett. The article was contributed to The lll. Loudon Daily Mail lll 1908, six years ago.

VIII.-THE COST

But the cost! Yes, me cost would be

lleavy, but consider the stake. The stake is honour, liberty, and the Etn- pire. Be the cost what it may, the stake is worth it.

Besides, as to the cost there are

three things to be said: the stake is worth the price; we can well afford the price; and if we refuse to pay the price of safely we shall have to pay the ten-fold heavier price ol' de- feat.

Richard (‘obdeu, wllo has never been

accused of Jillgoisln, said ill a speech at ltochdale ill 1S6l: _

l would vote a hundred million

pounds rather than allow tho Frellcil, Navy to be increased to a level with ours, llecall.<;e l should say that any ut- tempt ol’ that sort, withollt any legiti- mate grounds, would argue some sins- ster designs upon this country.

A hundred million pounds-on the

Navy-lticllzlrd tiobdell! _-\llll our Gov- ernment is afraid of the price of 11 Dreulldollgllt or the cost of al general

stall.

No-_-J. if tllerc exists al dalllrcr of war,

and a danger of an imperial disastclx l think no ldllglisllnlall would deny that let the price ot’ safety be ll thousand or two thousand millions it would be

wise to pay it.

But the cost. of 11 two-Power stand-

ard Navy alld an Army equal to that ol’ l~`r1lnce would not be nearly so ter- rible as might at first sight seem pro-

halllc.

lt. would not be equal to the cost of

the South African war, and we paid that, and paid it \vitllout serious ill- collvelliellce. Three hundred million pounds. lt' we can pay three hundred million pounds for a war, llow nlucll

can we pay for peace?

lt is cheaper to prevent a war than

to wage une, even ll' we win. But it' wc

lose!

And, ag:\ill,it must be said that if

France and Germany can afford to pay for universal military training we can. We are ricller tllull Gcrlllally, and Ger- many is already doillg all that we need do for safety. Germany can pllt four million soldiers into the field, fully armed and equipped. And the llritish l-Jnlpire elllnlot afford the money for tl

general staff.

The fact is that ill our presentdan-

gerous situation we cannot afford to ~considel~tlle cost. We cannot afford to be ccollolllicnl. We have to pay some of our money to save our ull: we have to make :1 temporary sacrifice of some

ot' ollr liberty to avoid slavery.

The trouble is that the nation does

not recognize its danger. lt` Gernluny declared war against us, or it' Itussill attacked llldia, we should not hesitate i`or ll moment over thc cost. We should llrltlerstallll that let the cost but what it would, it must be borll, once lit will' we should glvl; our services and our lllil- lions freely; but then it would be too

late.

Yet, it' we could only see things as

they are today we should lllldel'stllll'l that the \var has already begull. We are at war with Germany now. For years the British and the Gt-rlnnlls have been at war; it is bloodless war, bllt it is war for all thai.. lt is cullfilled to the building of ships ami llurbours alld the finding of money for llllltcrial and men; hut it is wur. Agaill, the integrity ol` l"l‘ancc is essential to our safety, and today Frzlntre has ll Ger- man pistol poilllcd ut her llrcasi. What is all this but 11 state of war; or how

far is it rrlnoved fronl war?

'l`lle cost of pence may bo high; but

pt-are is wortll it many tinlcs told. Let us think of the l-ost of defeat and ruin.

Some of us who are no longer young

To say we will not serve and will

not pay is folly; we must serve aw: we must pay. lf we do not servo our owll eoulltry we shall have to serve o foreign country; if we do not pay for llafety we shall have to pay for rie- feut, The price ot' pence is less than the price of war: the price of securi- ty is inconlpurahly smaller than the cost of disaster and disgrace.

The choice the fates have thrust up-

on us is not the choice as to whethel: \ve will or will not build British ships and serve as British soldiers; it is the choice as to whether we will build British ships or pay for the ships be- ing built in Germany: it ls the choice as to whether we will serve as de- fenders of our own country or as con- scripts under alien control. The bat- tleshlps alld the soldiers we must pay for-ours or Germany's.

. olilllulllv lull: lallotlllln "°‘“

We must. remember also that wr- are

already pa;/ing thirty -four million pounds for an army which le quite lu- adequate to our needs. We must not forget _that we have many sources of wealth unused and untouched within the boullds of our Empire, and many workers llo\v producing nothing who, if organized, would produce much wealth.

How should we tind the money? Where did wo find three hundred

milllolls for the Boer yvar? We should get it from those who have it; and there are many wllo have much, But if it meant hard pinching, if it meant self-delllal,, lf it nlennt a period ol' poverty and llllrdsllip, we must find the money still. `\Vl1atsoever the price our safetycosts us it will be trifling in comparison with thc price we must pay lor dis- aster. »

lf the situatloll is as dangerous as

I believe it. to be (and I think the evi- dence is irresistible), then tlle people have no choice but the choice between security and ruin.

The money price we could meet

without serious hardship; the price of service seems to me a trifle. When I was 11 young lnan I served seven years in the Army ami three years in the Vollllltcers. Tllut is very mucll longer than"tllc service required from young I-Jnglisllnlen to make the Empire safe. l served that time and enjoyed lt. Having served that time I cannot un- derstand the dread and dislike which most Englislllnen feel towards nlili- tary service. Sucll a training would do thenl much lnore good than harm.

No. The service is nothing to trou-

ble ally young mall. And for the mon- ey, we must find it, and we can find it, as we have had to find it on prev- ions occaslolls.

Tile chief danger is the n.'.tloll's

ignorance that any danger exists. To the great majority of the British peo- ple these warllings will sound like wild exaggerlltioll. But they are sim- ply tllc plain and frank expression ol' opinions held by tllousallds of the san- est and best~illt`ol'llled nn-ll in the Arnly, the Navy, and the House ot'

PATRIOTIC CONCERT

Tllo Patriotic Concert held ill tho

Town Ilall at Albertoll on l"l'iday evening, Sept. -1 was an ullqllalilicd success botll socially and flna\.lci:lll_v. The large hall was packed alllllisn to its capacity by al very intelligent and appreciative ulldience. The riccipls wllicll :llnountcd to $124 were ill aid of the lied (Toss Sol-ioty.

Each lllllllbcr on thc progranlllle

was oxccllcllt ill itself and very ap- propriate to the occasion. l'.`xccllellt addresses were llelivcrcd by hir. Ag- new, l\layor ot` Albcrtoll, Rev. lllr. ilordell and Governor Ilogcrs. Tlley treated chiefly thc work of the lied (Toss Society and dcllned briefly l‘]llglalld`s position ill the war, show- ing clearly that she wus justified ill llllying herself with France and Rus- ala defence oi' her rights. llcplcte with patriotism their addresses must certainly have telllled to engender like feelings ill the lllillds of their hearers.

The singing was exceptionally good

as was testified by the large amount oi' applause. The choruses under the capablc direction of Mr. Matthew Lcard, were excellently rendered. 'l`hev lllcllulcd wllch patriotic s'“\f's as, Rule Britannia, 0. Canada, Maple l.cal', lied, White and lnuc and .wl- dlers ot' the King. Solos were sung by Miss Kiel-_ bliss ltogt-rs and Rev. Mr. llliller, the excellent reuditloll of which elicited lllllcll applause.

Agnew, Miss l-‘ielding and Messrs Me- /\rthur and lf. White. All l`our have :-'.'.lc|l at rcplltutioll as reclters that 1-omlllcllt is llllllet-oss1lr_v.

A sp;-cial fclltllre ol' the program

was ll pantoullulc ill three acts ell- Lilled "Tile l’:\rtillg of the Way." The followilll: is tl short synopsls:-- George llllsscl trys to glllll his futllers con- sent to enlist for the war, bllt with- out avail. lie then prcvullu on the lllotllrr and filmlly on his sweelllt-nrt lllariull Parker to illterct-dc for hllll but his futller rcllllllns ohdurllte. Ile- llpalrillg ot` obtllilllllg his futlll-rs con- sult he resolves to go against, his will. A short time after ills departure ll let- ter comes stating that he has been wounded. While the letter is being read at home n newspaper containing tho list ol’ dead is brought ill and Georges name appears. Then follows a very pathetic scene. Marion and her sister llelen after the first oufbrenk of grief do their utmost to console his parents. One day wllell they nic- lm... ellgllfleti the supposedly (dead) bro- ther returua having only received a broken arm. Happy reunion. The cast of characters was as i'ollo\vs: - “Marloll Parker" Miss Ellie Agnew. "Mrs, Judge Hassell"’ Miss Edna Mil- lor, "Helen Iinssel" Miss Daisy Ag- new. "Judge Hansel" E. Foley, “Geo-

rge Hansel" L. Nelligan.

The last number, though certainly

not the least oil the program was ."Tlle Songs of the Nations." in which `_each of the different nations, taking part in the present war, was repre- sented by a young lady, who sang some patriotic songs. Dressed ln the particular costume of the different ,nations they presented a picture

which was extremely picturesque.

During intermission ll. sale of home

mode candy took place and those who had a testo for confectionary were ex- cellently catered to. (lf the supply

of candy had not run out would no doubt have been necessary to have

naval a sale of lemons.)
