NOTES AND COMMENTS.

RAMBLERS' DANCES.-The usual Ramblers' Dances will not be held during the coming winter. The Dance Committee regret that they have been obliged to come to this decision, but after last year's experience they consider 'that dances at the present time would not be, either socially or financially, a success. The average attendance last winter was very small, and there does not seem any likelihood pf it increasing this season. The Commit'tee, however, is still in existence, and will be pleased to resume its duties should events justify a change.

Correspondence. Responsibility for ·tl'e opini01ls ex pressed under this heading ,'ests solely with

the writers.

THE WAR AND ETHICS.

SIR,-I have not hitherto taken any part in the discussions which have from time to time arisen in the Monthly List with reference to the present war, but I feel that some reply should be made to the charges which Dr. Scudamore in the last issue has brought against Mr. Hobson. I am quite at a loss to find in the discourse on "Reprisals" "abstention from blaming Germany, while indulging in carping criticisms of our own national actions and motives"; and "lack of judicial im­partiality" I should have thought it impossible for anyone to impute to Mr. Hobson. It is not disputed that" if a particular law of warfare is broken by one side, the obligation of the other side to obey it is at an end"; but 'that is not the point. Dr. Scudamore does not deal with Mr. Hobson's question, which I take to be the gist of the whole argument, "Is it not beller to lose in a fair fight than win in a foul?" I should say, with Mr. Hobson, that most emphatically it is better to do so. It is not for the sake of Germany that we obey the rules hither'to recognised as incumbent upon civilised nations, but because we dare 'not risk the degradation of .our own characters and the general debasement of international life that must ensue if we add our example to that of the enemy. Honourable men have never considered themselves free to adopt any methods which may be used by a dishonourable opponent. How far one may go is a question of detail, as Mr. Hobson has plainly said; but there are things that nothing can justify. Are we to descend to 'the horrible depths of poisoning wells

and murdering prisoners if these things are done by Germans? Surely not!

Although I desire that my own country and its Allies should win this war, I do not admit that winning the war is the only 'thing to be considered. The nations have got to live together after the war. If life is ever to be tolerable again, the whole fabric of international relations must be recon­structed. Slowly and painfully, some approach at least to sympa'thy and trust must replace the hatred of the present momen't. How is this ever to be accomplished if the brutal methods of Germany have received the endorsement of the other nations? Again, what of neutral countries? At present they look on England and France as champions of the common cause of humanity against inhuman Germany. How long will they regard us in this light if we, too, use brutal means and think only of "military necessity"? I am aware that our Jingoes (among whom, I need hardly say, I do not count Dr. Scudamore) think, or pretend to lhink, that such things do not matter; but even the wildest Jingo, if he ever thinks seriously at all, knows that they do matler. No nation can be s'trong enough, or wary enough, to guard against every attack to which it would be liable if honour and good faith among the nations were destroyed utterly. Rather than that our country should contrib~te to such a result, we must be pre­pared to face defeat if need be.

Dr. Scudamore refers to the dangers of pro-Germanism; but there is only one kind of pro-German ism that is powerful enough to do hann. Pro-Germanism in 'the sens of a desire that Germany sh~)Uld conquer does not exist at South Place Chapel or anywhere else, as Dr. Scudamore recognises. There is a second kind of pro-Germanism that regards all parties to the war as equally guilty, with which I have no sympathy and which numbers very few adherents; and there is a 'third kind which is really dangerous because it has the backing of powerful and highly placed men, a great part of whose lives has been spent in more or less successf u1 efforts to impose the ideals of the Prussian Junk rs upon this country and its depen­dencies. In the present war these men see an opportunity such as they never dared to hope for to secure through panic what they well know could not be obtained by persuasion. The "damaged standards of thought, feeling, and conduct" to which Mr. Hobson refers, and which must accompany this war as they have accompanied every war in no matter how righteous a cause, have notably shown themselves in the agitation for Conscription which may possibly before these

lines appear in print have achieved its purpose. Who before the war, or even six months ago, would have believed it possible that a man with the record of Lloyd George could be found supporting compulsory service in the company of the men who have engineered this dishonest agitation? It is, of course, well understood that 'the military object is secondary; the real purpose of the movement is to break democracy, though probably not all its supporters mean that. But granting that it would improve our chance of victory, which I think is clearly not the case, I cannot doubt that we ought to choose defeat rather than achieve victory by such means. If we are defeated we shall certainly rise again. Apart from actual extermination, which is not likely to be attempted even by Prussian J unkers, and which in any case our insular posi­tion renders us fairly safe from, defeat in war is not an irre­parable calamity. All hislory proves that. But it may well be an irreparable calamity if we allow the yoke of militarism to be fastened on our necks. We have no rational ground of quarrel with Germany apart from her militarism. What, then, do we gain if we crush militarism in Germany and establish it in our very midst? We (the nation) have nothing to gain; but our J unkers have everything to gain. The free England that we have known and loved would be destroyed as effec­tually as even a German conquest could destroy it; and I for one would far rather lose than win at such a price.-Yours faithfully, F. W. READ.

SIR,-Your correspondent Dr. Scudamore is troubled lest the South Place Ethical Society should become in any way identifred with so-called" pro-Germanism." He then proceeds to call in question some recent statements of Mr. Hobson. In his frfth paragraph he would seem to imply that we are quite free to infringe a hitherto recognised law provided the enemy frrst se't us the example. I think many of your readers will decline to follow him so far.

It is all very well to call Mr. Hobson's arguments one­sided, but for my part I am heartily glad 'that we have had the opportunity of hearing from our platform truths which are too often ignored. .

For the purely nationalist view one need go no further than the daily Press, the speeches of Ministers, and the official publications. After all, if we are never to get beyond purely nationalist conceptions, what hope is there for the future peace of 'the world, since every nation wishes, if possible, to be stronger than its neighbours?

Far be it from me lo desplse nationalist sentiment, but it is for Reason to determine within what limi'ts it shall operate so as to promote and not retard the higher growth of Humanity. -Yours, etc., H. T. HERNE.
