Peace and War

To the Editor of the ""Norta-Ontna Dalny News."

Sir,—Many thoughtful people will have read with sympathy your leading article in to-day's "North-China" and fully endorse your conclusions, that only by removing the cause and occasion for war will war be rendered impossible. Does not one of these causes lie im we history books we teach in our schools which are purely national propaganda with little or no morality, and is it not essential that they should be revised so as to show the moral cost of war not only to the conquerors but to the conquered, and to civilization as a whole? We should insist on higher standards of truth and justice and who is in a better position to make that insistance duit than the Public Press? If so many of us were willing to sacrifice, not only our lives, but our property, in the cause of peace, as thera are in cause of war, it is conceivable that wars would cease.

I am, ete., Giserr E. Peer.
