remain to us besides remonstrance,
would be our ability to oppose to the
might of England sufficient force to
prevent her extending her territorial
bounds on the South American Cont
nent
Had our country been as strong as it
should have been in its naval arm and
coast defenses, the Venezuelan ques-
ton never would have reached the
acute stage. The knowledge that we
had the power to enforce, or hotly and
with fair evenness of strength dispute
the claim of England, would have
brought about settlement speedily.
We repeat, organized power, readi-
ness of strength, preparedness, are in
finitely better than arbitration. They
render arbitration committees unneces-
sary; put insult afar, are pledges of JUS
tice, good behavior and fair dealing.
1t seems to us that such a body as is
proposed would actually operate as an
invitation to encroachment, insult and
grievance England armed, strong,
ready at moments notice to hurl upon
our ports five hundred ships of war
loaded with dynamite shells, or to seize
any disputed property or person, would
have us on the hip, we being armed only
with court of arbitration. In it Eng
land, being practically the presiding
judge, with power to say what should
and what should not be tried by that
tribunal, would put in or out of court
whatever issue she pleased.
The best of all arbitration boards is
preparation to maintain our rights.
With this and a policy not aggressive,
but intensely defensive of our system
and policies, and England would not
only not quickly quarrel with us, but if
she did, would meet us upon the field of
diplomacy, where we could sharpen our
wits, and in time be able to cope with
her in international law.

PREPARATION BETTER THAN AR
BITRATION.

A lot of goody-goody Chicago senti-
mentalists have engaged in the labor of
sending broadcast circulars asking peo-
pie who think, if they will not favor
agitation to bring about the establish
ment of a Permanent Committee of Ar
bitration, to which all disputes between
America and England shall be sub
mitted.
good many sincere people will respond
in the affirmative. But those who
pause to think upon the mater will not
fail, we think, to see that such a COM
mittee would be valueless as a peace
agency and would simply operate to
annex the United States to England,
for that shrewd nation would permit to
go to such a committee only those mat
ters that in its judgment-nor ours
concern US.
Such plan as the Chicago senti-
mentalists propose would be destructive
of American diplomatic independence.
We having no school of diplomacy,
changing our so-called diplomats every
four years, having no men in training
in diplomatic arts. England with her
skilled dipIomatists would always out
wit US, as generally she has. and the
Arbitration Committee would thus be-
come petticoat behind which the willy
Britisher would hide to play his dipIo-
matte games to our confusion.
No, the best conservator of peace and
quick settlement of issues between our
selves and other nations is thorough,
complete and constant preparation for
the possible, the ultimate, for after all
war is the ultimate resort; it is the only
known force behind judgment that can
make it effective where nations are con-
cerned in a dispute.
Take the Venezuelan case, as we the
other day pointed out. England holds
that we have no concern mi t. 1t would
not therefore be permitted to go to the
Permanent Committee" What. then
would remain? Simply and only the
