married. briefly the fruits Of that con-.
vcntion. Virginia had been foremost in
the first Of two great movements for
peace, that for the establishment OF con-
stituional government and courts in which
individuals might settle their differ
erces. " 4 9 & IL
Appeal to Law.
The second great step in the interest
OF humanity was that in which nations
agreed to appeal to law to settle their
differences. He contcnded that America
should not be content to follow in this
second great movement, but that It
should lead. lIn expressed the hope that
tho Senate would give the pending ar'bl-
tration treaties It's approval. This ac-
ton he characterized as duty imposed
by the dictates Of reason. 5 IL
Speaking Of the principle Of arbitration
as mode of settling international differ
ences, heH speaker cDntrasted this en-
Flightcned mode with the rule OF violence.
Violence cannot prove an net right or
wrong, and no reasoning man can appeal
TO force to settle an argument. Might
does not make right, otherwise the OPP.
preston OF the weak by the strong
would be sanctioned. The speaker quoted
Cicero on right reason as the power
with which tho world should be govern
cd and declared that he who trumphs
out eason, never triunlphs honorably..
I've are all Christians said the speaker;
the Bible and its great power love should
therefore govern us. How then, can
we be Christians If we refuse to accept
the lesson of love. Even from the stand
point Of policy, the speaker contended, it
was hest for the world to resort to arr
bitratlon. America especially, had need
of arbitration. We can never be ID mil
itary nation without departing from our
traditions. America should lead in. this
great movement She Is the latest and
the faircst flower or civilization. &. We
want q Supreme Court of the universe,
like our Supreme Court OF the United
States, said he, with eulogy OF that
great tribunal.
