GREAT AND SACRED MISSION.
" The glory that once was has departed from warj and as an instrument of power and of acquisition war as a policy is to-day more than ever before proving its own futility and being discredited," says General Hertzog. " The moment is fast approaching when only as a measure of self-defence in the hour of despair will war he resorted to. Already, as is well kown, the opinion that this should be so is prevailing generally in civil life throughout the civilised communities of the world. That at this moment in the history of the ^orld the British Commonwealth of Nations should espouse the cause of world peace, and exercise its great influence and devote its energies on behalf of mankind, as it is doing, is something which may well inspire it with tho feeling of a great and saered mission."
