NO STALEMATE PEACE.
DID they believe that after all the struggles the Pacific Islands were to be given back to Germany, or that we should be content with a “stalemate peace” (said Sir Joseph Ward at a function in Wellington yesterday). Nothing of the kind. We ought to stop at nothing until we knew that the leaders in the Old Country and the Allies had agreed that no peace would be arrived at until the ferocious enemy had been put into such a position that he could no longer inflict himself on humanity. That could only be done by a combination of countries which were actuated by the same determination. In England there were airmen ready to go up to meet the invading aircraft, and in this connection he declared that, seeing the slaughter of innocent, women and children, the authorities should have adopted reprisals. We should adopt the policy of bare lists and bare knuckles; if we were lighting witli demons who would not respect our wives and children, wo had to adopt the same weapons as they adopted. (Cheers).
