Three Famous Catholic Cardinals Present
Plan to Prevent War.
Baltimore, Nd. April ~G.-Cardinal
Gibbons on Sunday gave out an appeal
for a permanent arbitration board,
with full powers, to prevent war among
the nations, signed by himself, Michael
Cardinal Logue, Archbishop of Ar
magl,, and Herbert Cardinal Vaughan,
Archbishop of Westminster. The doc
umcnt is the result of a correspondence
on the subject between Cardinal Glib
bons and his colleagues, ard is issued
on Easter Sunday because of the appro-
pfiateness of the day. A synopsis OF
the document follows:
The cardinals, in the name Of the Prince
of Peace and of the Catholic church, invt,"
all to cooperate in the formation of pull
lie opinion which shall demand the estah-
lishment OF a permanent tribunal OF ar
bitration as a rational substitute among
the English speaking races for resort to
the bloody arbitramen+ Of war. They re-
call that such a court existed for centuries
when the nations of Christendom were
united in one faith, and suggest tribunal
composed of trusted representatives O.
each sovereign nation, with power to nomi-
nate judges and umpireso according to tho
nature of the differences that arise. Such
an International court Of arbitration. they
say, would form a second limo of defense.
to be called into requisition only after tic
ordinary resources of diplomacy had been
exhausted. It would at least postpone tho
common sense had formally pronounced
their last word. They appeal for a united
effort to press this matter upon their re-
spective governments.
