IDroposseb 3ftoabS to Jfrcebom PT. was right when she called us a peace class; from the earliest beginnings of our career a tendency toward universal peace could be discerned. Look- ing about us in a world where class struggled against class we were moved with an intense pity for suffering humanity, and pressed on toward a Utopia un- trammeled by class consciousness and cut-throat competition. Even rising at six to do calisthenics for our country could not break our spirit, but hope was nearly dead when, lo, on November eleventh there came a rift in the clouds. Peace in Europe ! The allies at least were back of us. Was the world ready for our message ? We looked at Twenty-one and doubted. Others might have used force, but we belonged to the philosophical radicals, and launched our Three Great Reform Bills with mature deliberation. Some say we were too proud to fight; whatever our reasons, our method was successful. In spite of unequal odds we soon persuaded the community of the self-evident truth that all men are created equal and should have equal opportunity, Under the goad of our righteous example the boss system crumbled, and the Forty Points took their place in history. This achievement might have seemed a sufficient complement to our initial and most characteristic act, namely, the Abolition of Serfdom, but our zeal can not be said to have decreased with age. We were ready for action when our opportunity arrived, and had the community running smoothly on a gold and topaz standard, thereby doing away with the annual fluctuations, by the time the question of the four-day week came up for discussion under the terms of the social contract as opposed to the policy of laissez-faire. In this, as in previous controversies, we gained our point in principle and fact. Such has been our work of progress, and while we are aware that it has not always been appreciated, we cannot say that we are not satisfied with the economic consequences of the peace.
