Ralph does not suggest anything but he does say that keeping the fire going is the most important thing and they should die before allowing it to go out. This is because he is aware that having a signal fire is their only hope of ever being rescued.

Ralph says that they should die before they let the fire go out. He realises that unless the signal fire is kept lit they have little or no chance of ever being rescued and they will ultimately condem themselves to dying on the island.

Ralph says that they should "die before we let the fire go out." Because he realises that without a signal fire they may never get rescued and then they will ulitmately die right there on the island.

In the meeting, which he called in chapter 5: Beast from Water, Ralph tried to emphasise the importance of keeping the fire lit and one of the things he said, and I quote, was... "Don't you understand? Can't you see we ought to-- ought to die before we let the fire out?"
