Report of Peace Bureau.


The report of the International Peace
'fbureau for 1904 is in part as follows:
The outbreak since January last Of
the war between Japan and Russia for
commercial. military and political
preponderance in the far East has fur
nished sem blance of an argument TO
those who pretend that there will al.
ways be TO the very end of time some
part of the globe where men will kill
one another.
We say sem blance of argument
because the Russo-Japanese war has
taken place in a region remote from
the center of influence of the peace
propaganda.
The friends Of peace have since the
outbreak of the Russo-Ja japanese war
made numerous honest efforts 70 try 70
induce both the Russians and japanese
governments TO have recourse 70 a
friendly solution Of the conflict. and
the other powers signatory TO The
Hague convention TO try 10 secure the
settlement of the difficulty between the
belllgerents by arbitration or media
tion. They have done their duty and
will find no occasion to reproach them
selves when the response bllities for the
war have been finally determined by
public opinion.
Since the opening Of hostilities We
have several times renewed our efforts
TO bring about conicliation and espe-
cially after the meetings OF the call of
the bureau last week addressed 10 all
governments a pressing invitation 70
effect mediation.
? 10 the present moment the gov
erpments not involved in the conflict
have limited their efforts 10 the local
ization Of the war and the strict main.
tenance Of collective neutrality
But the momnet is perhaps not far
off when they will be able in a col
lective way TO induce the bfllgerents
to listen 10 the voice of reason. Of jus
tice and humanity by insisting upon
the fact that the present will be all the
more fruitless because neither Of the
belligerent parties on account Of the
pacific ideas now prevailing can ex
pect effective support toward the real
ization of its am bilious purpose.
Would the powers. if an offer Of
mediation by them be rejected, find
themselves necessitated thereby 10 have
recourse 10 the use Of military force 10
impose peace; Such is not our opin-
ion. For. before having recourse 70
such extreme measures the powers
would still have at their disposal other
means OF coercion. The most eftca-
cious Of these might possibly be that Of
vigorously closing their exchequer 10
the further appeals of Russia and Jap
an for new loans.
