and more difficulty IN bearing.
II appears evident that II this state Of things
were 70 BE- prolonged IT would inevitably lead 10 the
very cataclysm II IL desired TO avert and the hor-
rors whereof make every thinking being shudder
in advance
To put an end 20 these incessant armaments ana
10 seek the means of wardns off the calamitics
which sre threatening the whole worid-slch is
the supreme duty today imposed upon all States
Filled with this idea. Ills Majesty has been
pleased 20 command me 70 propose to all the gov
ernments whose representatives. ere accredited 10
the Imperial Court the Assembling OF a conference
which shall occupy itself with this grave problem.
This conference w!l be. by the help Of God,
happy presage for the century which is about TO
open. il would converge into one powerful focus
the efforts OF an States sincerely seeking to make
the great conception Of universal peace triumph
over the elements Of trouble and discord. and II
would. at the time. cement their agreement
by corporate conservation Of the principles OF
equity and r!sht whcreon rest the security OF
States and the welfare Of peoples
