March 11, 1916 — Union of Democratic Control

Our Union of Democratic Control has two objects. The one is to draw together into an organised body those English men and women of whom, as in every other country engaged in this war, there are many hundreds of thousands, who have not desired war, and who are determined that when the peace comes it shall be a reality, and not a hotbed for the raising of future wars.

We feel that the Governments have made the wars — the peoples themselves must make the peace! We are organizing ourselves, that, when the time comes, we may be able effectively to act.

Our second aim is to educate ourselves and others to this end.
