TO apply arbitration to a disputeas to a bound
airy line; II Is quite impossible, it
seems to me. to apply it to a
case of international feud. If there is
present a disposition to subjusate; an aggres.
sve spirit to seize territory. spirit of national
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT that does not stop to consider
the rights of other men and other people, to
sEch a case and to such a spirit international
arbitration has none, or II any, a remote and
diiiicuit application.
REMOVE CAUSES OF DISPUTE.
II is for Christian sentiment manifesting
itself in a nation. 10 remove forever such
causes of dispute, and then what remains will
be the easy subject of adjustment by fair in
ternatiOnal arbitration. lApplausel But
had not intended TO enter into a discussion of
this great theme, for the setting forth OF which
you have appointed those who have given
/; special attention. Let me, therefore
say simply this: that for myself, tempora-
rily IL place of influence in this country and
much more for the great body Of citizenship to
express the desire of America for peace with
the whole world. lApplal SCI 1t would have
been vain u suggest the pulling down of block
Eogses or family disarmament to the settlers on
a hostile Indian frontier. They would have told
YOU rightly that the conditions were not ripe
And 80 it may be and ia probably true that a
full application of the principle is not pres
entity possible, the devil still being unclaimed.

We will have our gun foundries and possibly
will best promote the settlement of interua.
uonal disputes by arbitration, by having it I'm.
derstood that if the appeal is to tiercer tribu.
nal We shall not be out OF the debate. ZAP
Elause.l There Is a unity of the church and OF
humanity, and the lines of progress are the
same.
1t is by this great Christian sentiment char.
acterized not only by high sense of justice
bur BY a spirit OF love and forbearance. MAG
tering the civil institutions and governments OF
the world. that we shall approach universal
peace and adopt arbitration methods of settling
disputes lApplause.l
Let me thank you, Mr.. Chairman, and you

o. standing before you Tor a moment and for
this most cordial welcome which you have
gwen to me. beg to express again my higl
appreciation OF the charas ter of these dele

Journeys TO Tar distant homes you may hav,
the guidance and care of that God whom we Ell
