War Unity of the Allies Teaches the Lesson of Future Co-Operation

By CHARLES E. HUGHES

In the <-o-o]X“ration achieved by the associated gov•ernments difring the war lies the promise of the future. We have a new era spreading before our vision, in which the great aim will be to maintain this sense of unity, lwt us learn that in meet tug our problems hcre~force, tyranny, the determination to rule must be crushed. Arraying class against class, the thought of power obtained by the mere exercise of strength must he forever crushed. Wo have no jealousies or envies or petty rivalries dn this hour of victory, where every nation has its just

cause for pride, where every army brings home its proud banners unstained by the slightest touch of cowardice or of anything' which could dishonor the emblem of the nation. We have, therefore, peculiarly resting upon us at this hour the responsibilities not only of victory but of a victory 80 won, for it means that in working our way through-tfasse^torrib 1 e davs and years of suffering and strife we have been learning this lesson of co-operation. This lesson we must learn so thoroughly that we shall be guided in the difficult path of international co-operation in the days of peace and in the very difficult path of social co-operation in solving our own problems in our own political homes.
