Letter from F.W. Soutter, Honorary Secretary of the Bermondsey Labor League, announcing their preparations for a demonstration [against war with the Transvaal] to be held in Trafalgar Square.
On the reverse of the letter is a circular announcing a meeting to make arrangements for the demonstration, proposed by the Bermondsey Labor League, and inviting representation from associations across the country. It states that such public demonstrations are necessary as Parliament is not in session, affirms that arbitration alone can resolve the present difficulties, and that the outbreak of war would be a 'National Crime'. Signed by G. B. Clark M.P., Hodgson Pratt (President of the International Arbitration and Peace Association), Felix Moscheles (Chairman of the International Arbitration and Peace Association), F. Victor Fisher (Executive Transvaal Committee Liberal Forwards Club), E. M. Nicholson, and F. W. Soutter (Bermondsey Labor League).
