P MARCH 14 60'CLOCK 0CKJK0Ctf "In this peace movement America has done her full sharp. Her repre sentatives have labored to harmonize international law, to institute some do gree of sincerity in the diplomatic af fairs of nations, and to establish the Geneva tribunal. America contributed far the most of the triumphs of the Hague conferences. She has had a host of peace exponents among them, Roger Williams, Thomas Jefferson and Theodore Roosevelt. "From our own diplomatic dealings we have learned the valuo of the 'square deal' in international affairs. The idea of a cannon to preserve peace is not correct. -AH that iBf need ed Is a righteous government and high national character. j "I, too, indulge in a dream.

At this vbry! moment the voters of the nation are massing themselves into; two' great 'camps.

There is a quick-1 ening of public conscience and a study ing of questions of justice. The causo of peace is in a lino with the theory of popular government. It is demo cratic; it is ethical; it is moral; it is Just "If all this is true: if there Is an awakening intelligence, if there is a spread of popular government, if there 1b a pressing on toward higher ideals of justice and morality; then .who can doubt that we are moving toward arbitration rather than force; A mor- .aLquestlon cannot bo settled by kill-1 lag 'a man.
