the Worlds Columbian Exposition. "
This document says that the inca sures
already taken give satisfactory as
surances that the exposition to be
made Of the material progress Of the
world will be such as to deserve
unqualified approval. Then comes
the following announcement:
"But to make the Exposition com.
plete and the celebration adequate,
the wonderful achievements of the
new age in science, literature, educa-
ton, government, Jurisprudence,
morals, charity, religion, and other
departments of human activity,
should also be conspicuously dis
played as the most effectiN e means of
increasing the fraternity, progress,
prosperity, and peace of mankind.
at has therefore been proposed
that series of Worlds Congresses
for that purpose be held in conncc-
ton with the Worlds Columbian Ex-
position of 1898, and The Worlds
Congress Auxiliary has been duly
authorized and organized, to promote
the holding and success of such con
crosses.
Among the great themes which
the congresses are expected to con-
slider, are the following:
"I.-Fhe grounds of fraternal
union in the language, literature,
domestic life, religion, science, art,
and civil institutions of different
peoples.
"II.--The economic, industrial,
and financial problems of the age.
iii. Educational systems, their
advantages and their defects; and
the means by which they may best
be adapted to the recent enormous
increase in all departments of know
ledge.
"IV.-The practicabiIity of com
mon language, for use in the COM
mercial relations of the civilized
world.
~ International copyright, and
the laws of intellectual property and
commerce.
"VI.-Immigration and naturaliz-
alton laws, and the proper interna-
tional privileges of alien govern
ments, and their subjects or citizens.
''VII.-The most efficient and adj
visable means of preventing or de-
creasing pauperism, insanity, and
crime and of increasing productive
ability, prosperity, and virtue
throughout the world.
"VIII. international law as a
bond of union and a means of mutual
protection; and how it may best be
enlarged, perfected, and authorita-
lively expressed.
"IX.-The establishment of the
principles of judicial justice as the
supreme law of international rela-
tions: and the general substitution
of arbitration for war in the settle
ment of international controversies.
cit is impossible to estimate the
advantages that would result from
the mere establishment of personal
acquaintance and friendly relations
among the leaders of the intellectual
and moral world, who now, for the
most part, know each other only
through the interchange of publica-
tons and, perhaps, the forrhalities of
correspondence.
"And what is transcendently more
important, such congresses, con-
vened under circumstances so auspi-
cious, would doubtless surpass all
previous efforts to bring about real
fraternity of nations, and unite the
enlightened people of the whole
earth in a general cooperation for
the attainment of the great ends for
which human society is organized.
"This organization is intended to
promote the success of the exposition
of the material products of civiliza-
ton, science, and art, but will con-
fine its own operations to the exposi-
ton in appropriate conventions, of
the principles of human progress"
