with us by the British house of commons
In 1898. and upon our invitation treaty
of arbitration between the United States
and Great Britain was signed at Wash
ington and transmitted to the senate for
its ratification in January last Since
this treaty is clearly the result Of orr
own initiative; since it has been recog
nized as the leading featue Of our for
eign policy throughout our entire na-
tionaI historv-the adjustment of dim
culties by judicial methods rather +bor
by force of arms-and since If nraeante
to the world the glorious evap,r1a of roo-
son and peace. not passion and war con-
trolling the relations between two of tho
greatest nations of the world an ev-
ample certain to be followed nv others

The inheritance and moral influence 90
the ratification of such a treaty can
hardly be oyrrestimatea in tho cameo of

gage the best thought of the statesmen
and people of every country and I can
not but consider it fortunate that il was
reserved to the United states ia have
the leadership in so grand a work
