A COURT OF NATIONS.
A HIGH COURT OF LAST RESORT TO
DETERMINE DISPUTES.
How International Differences Night Be
Adjusted if the Rulers Did Not Prefer
Grim and Destructive War to Peace.
Arbitration In Big Affairs.

There is Il great deal of carelessness in
certain popular demands for referring
questions between nations to arbitration.
We al know what arbitration is in bust
1css. 1t IS p very Convenient way Of ad-
!t..,-irs; certain questions which arise be-
,}.con two friends. each of whom wants
t.'ls1 Whit is right, but who take differ

they do not appoint q court which shall
determine how much is due and how
nlUclris not due. There is q court e1-
listing to which that question can be re-
ferreu and there are processes perfectly
understood by which that court can de-
eide it.
This i. !. air enough illustration of the
5loccssit ;. which now exists that the great
1latioDs O. the world shall have perma-
ncilt tribunal. before which shall be
brought the important questions which
12r",t arise in the affairs Of nations with
c:lt}l other. It is to be (, permanent tri-
1Hll}~l. There is not to lie one tribunal
ahNuj sl;.is and another tribunal about
boundaries and another about extradi-
ton. There is to be a tribunal which
shall gradually gain tie confidence Of
the whole world, and which shall decide
these questions which have been left
hitherto to a vague l;:?hlic opinion and to
what IS called the arbitration of war.
Clearly we are approaching nearer and
nearer tho creation OF such ~ TRIBUNAL
The greatest SUCCESS was achieved
when in 1889 Is different nations, here
on the coast of the Atlantic, united TO
gotner and established the supreme court
OF the United !;tiltc5 The thing has
worked 50 perfectly and simply ever
since that We have MANY readers to
whom it has never occurred that there
were might have E>rl wars between
