United States could go on together hand
in hand they would make for peace
throughout the whole world and for an
advanced civilization.
W. w. Montague declared he was in
hearty sympathy with this feeling of
arbitration and hoped that the Amerl-
can and English people could find
their difficulties. If the two peoples
would only set themselves to work in the
interest of a peaceful solution of inter-
national difficulties they could overcome
every obstacle and become fast friends and
dwell together in peace and harmony.
Horace Davis read long preamble and
resolutions, which set forth that ties of
blood between the two nations made it ad-
visable to substitute arbitration for war,
and recommended to Congress and the
President that everything be done to pro-
mote arbitration.
In introducing the resolutions he i'm
pressed his hearers that the arbitration
movement was headed by the great men of
America. Mr.. Davis added he was glad
that the movement was taken in hand by
the Chamber of Commerce. the members
OF which were used to peaceful ways, to
the settlement of their disputes by arbi-
tration. War was normal IN Central
Africa, but with the English and Ameri-
can people 1t was a thing of a thousand
years ago.
Rabbi Jacob Voorsanger said that it was
evident from the expressions of the speak
ers who preceded him that the people OF
San Francisco were ir sympathy with ar
bitration. The time has come when the
second sober thought OF peace should pre-
vail, and the parbarism of war among CIV
ilized nations should cease forever. He
believed that the schools of the United
States had done a great deal of harm in
fostering the seed of hatred for England.
The textbooks were too full of the idea that
when America conquered England was
tyrant, and so on. Children should be
taught history in its true light.
IL was time that men should set their
face against the dreadful arbitrament of
war. He would have the Queen of Eng
land and the mistress.of the White House
settle difficulties between the two nations.
He expressed a hope that the resolutions
would bear good truit and moved the adop-
ton of the resolutions, which were carried
unanimously.
