Carnegie's gift is more quixotic than
practical In support of this view it
has been pointed out that the interna-
tional arbitration. tribunal has so far
accomplished very little. which is quite
true. On the other hand, there has
been no opportunity to do more. But
the submission of the Venezuelan dis
pute to arbitration must be regarded a
triumph of the methods of peace over
those of war. 1t is true that actual
war preceded the agreement to submit
the matter to The Hague court. but that
fact only serves to emphasize the vic
tory and the value of the international
tribunal, for it will not only decide all
