THE WORLDS PEACE,
1t seems that the Peace convention of nil
American States and nations was not con.
vened because Mr.. Frelinghuysen became
AFRAID that such Il convocation of North aut
South Americans would offend Europe.
frelinghuysen having suggested the posi-
Dility of such result, European kings al
once adopted the idea and made it known
IN South America that they would be very
seriously displeased if the convocation met
10 Washington, and thus the basis for final
America peace was never fixed. But the
condemnation of Mr.. Frelinghuysen' 4

the original peace project failed, and the
hope that 1t will be speedily revived" In
this sentiment all American states and peo-
pie concur. But the kings and nobility.
