Synopsis
Excerpt from This Is Our Land: Problems of the War and Peace From the Point of View of a Business Man
And let there be no mistake about what is meant by complete victory - no illusion or self-deception. It is not a question of victory or defeat; it is, putting It In the simplest words, Victory or Death. We must achieve abso lute and undeniable victory, or we forfeit our national and imperial existence. This truth has been slowly but surely spreading since the beginning of the War, and it is now realized by all but an insignificant faction. If only those, who Should lead and direct public opinion, had brought home to the nation the magnitude of the task before it, they would have evoked a response, revealing how hollow are the fears of those doubters who have never felt the spirit of our past.
The manhood of our country has won undying fame On many a hard-fought field, and the glorious deeds of the men of our race from the Dominions Beyond the Seas Show that the ancient spirit still lives. The War has knit us together and made us one as nothing else could have done, and those entrusted with the prosecution of the War, and still more with the settlement of Peace, must ever bear in mind that they are trustees, not only for the people of these islands, but also for the Dominions, who have poured out the blood of their bravest without stint for the Motherland.
It becomes a sacred duty, then, for us to see that those sacrifices shall not have been made in vain, that we Shall clearly recognize the mistakes and dangers of the past, and that we shall make such terms of peace as will prevent our incurring like risks in the future. We have been so dazzled by oratory and linguistic dexterity of late years.
