enre here today by James Spcycr of the
New Tork and European banking house of
Speyer Co.
Mr. Speyer spoke aa a delegate from the
chamber of commerce of the state of New
York. He followed Assistant Secretary of
State Huntington Wilson, prt siding officer
of the morning, who gave his Interpreta
tion of what had been called "dollar di
plomacy," the newly coined phrase applied
to the expansion of business Internets
through the efforts of the State depart
ment of the United States. The term, ac
cording to Mr. Wilson, means, "The substi
tution of dollars for bullets. The creation
of a prosperity which would be preferred
to predatory strife, "and a practical mode
of pursuing the Ideal of world's peace."
Mr. Speyer, who spoke on "International
Finance as a Power of Peace," dealt first
with the Influence of International Invest
ments In time of peace.
SeearlasJ Foreign Loans.
Taking up the question of what should
snd could be done In time of war by first
class power", he said we find today In
Europe that In times uf peace certain gov
ernments will not allow their bankers to
take and place foreign loans In the home
market unless the purposes for which the
loan Is to be used are known and ap
proved and at least part of the proceeds
are used by the borrowing nation for ex
penditures In such home markets for th
benefit of the pending nation.
Now," Mr. Speyer said, "If such super
vision and control of the bankers already
exists In Urns ef peace. It does not seem
wide flight of Imagination to suggest
that the great powers might agree to ex
ericee such control in times of war be
tween third parties and to maintain In th
future what, for want of a better term,
might be called 'financial neutrality.' In
case two nations went to war without
flrat submitting their grievances and dif
ferences to arbitration or Judicial settle
ment at The Hague, why should the other
neutral powers not bind themselves not to
assist either of the belligerents financially,
but to see to It that real neutrality waa
observed by their banks and bankers?
There la little doubt that this could be
done.
Moat Effective Neutrality.
"If no financial earl stance could be ob
tained from the outside, few nations would
In the face of thla most effective neutrality
of th other powers Incur th peril of
bankruptcy. Bom would certainly last a
much shorter time."
A criticism of this government for not
having prevented the activities of American
sympathisers with the Mexican Insurrec
tionists along the border, made by Con
gressman James F. eiayden In tha course
of an address, drew a reply from Assistant
Secretary of State Wilson, who said that In
all revolutions In the Lathv-Amarlcan
states, Americans had been active In spits
of the efforts of the federal government
to prevent such activities and that th
record of the United States in proceeding
against previous filibustering should have
convinced the people of Mexico of the
honesty of this country's attitude to
ward it.
The marked progress of the peace move
ment throughout the world was the them
of Representative Richard Bartholdt's ad
dress. The Missouri congressman told his
auditors that not since Abraham Lincoln's
proclamation freeing the elaves had a
more Important step been taken than the
proposal of President Taft to Great Britain
for arbitration of all queatlens.
onsotlmee War Is Right.
Giving expression to an opinion at vari
ance with that held by many peace advo
cates. Dr. Lyman Abbott of New Tork, who
presided over tonight's session of the con
gress. declared hla belief that war waa
sometimes Justifiable.
"When bands of marauding dynamiters
blow up our buildings, our offices, our
homes, can we appeal to their reason." Dr.
Abbott asked. "No, because they haven't
it. If one man-of-war had gone up the
rlvtr to Turkey when the Armenians were
being murdered It would have been better
than any appeal to reason; the massacres
would have stopped.
'What Is desired Is not only peace, but
peace founded upon righteousness, with
law and order aa Its companions."
Other speakers were Price Collier and
President E. D. Warfleld of Lafayette college.
