LABOUR MOVEMENT
FREEDOM MOST PRECIOUS HUMAN POSSESSION. LONDON, October 5. “The Labour Movement is peaceful,” writes the Right Hon Arthur Greenwood in the “Daily Herald.” “It hates war. It knows that the masses everywhere suffer when war deluges the world. But it knows also that the most precious human possession is freedom. “It is the foundation of the new order of society for which we have worked and lived and for which men may die in the hour when fundamental human claims are challenged. “The war which has been forced upon us is a war which we cannot shirk. We must face it—and win it—so that what Labom- has gained in the past shall not be forfeited, and so that what we may build upon past victories shall not vanish before the storms of war and the floods of tyranny.”
