day so imperatively demanded that it be recognized, furthered and protected General conferences of states will reg ulate for the latter that which has been regulated fer private persons for fifty centuries. They will also make international arbitration compulsory: they will see that its treaties are ob- served; they will avert disputes; they will relieve the peCplf of overwhelming burdens imposed by criminal whims But in order to accomplish it's duty this organization must also be made the foundation of political orgauiza- tiOn for the world. To that end the contemplated conferences must be pc riodical and if I may express a person. al idea, they must during the time in- terveEing between these general as sembiies, have one organ veste1 witt. certain super vising, directing and ex- ecutive powers.

 VI ion and that success would crown his initiative. In his response to pr. Co., bats speech, President Roosevelt de- liVered the following address: Gen tlemen of the inter parliamentary Jn- ion: I greet you with profound plea sure as representatives in a special sense of the great interna tional move ment for peace and good will among the nations of the earth. It is 9 mat ter of qualification to all Americans that we have had the hcnor of receiv- ing you here as the nations guests.
 You are men skilled in the practical work of the government in your sev- eral countries and this fact adds weight to your championship of the cause of international justice.
 T thank you for your kind allu- soins to what the government Of the
 United States has accomplished, in the policies you have at heart, and l as
 sure you that this governments atti-

 Tn response to your resolutions. | shall at an early date ask other na- {
 The Hague (applause). 1 feel as I am sure you do that our efforts should take the shape of pushing forward to- ward the completion Of the work al ready begun at The Hague, and that whatever is not done should appeal not as something divergent therefrOm. but as continuance thereof. At the i first conference at The Hague several questions were left unsettled and it was expressly provided that there should be a second conference A reasonable time has elapsed and I feel that your body has shown sound judg- i ment in concluding that a second con- ! ference should now be called, to carry i some steps further toward the comple- tion of the work of the first It would be visionary to expect immediate success for the great cause you are | chamDioning, but very substantial pro gress can be made if we strive with re- solution and good sense toward secur- | ing the nations of the earth among i individuals of each nation, a just sense 1 of responsibility in each toward the others and a just recognition in each of the rights of the others. Right and responsibility must go hand in hand. Our efforts must be Unceasing both to l secure in each nation a full acknow- l bring about in each nation an ever
 growing sense of it's own responsibiIi- ties.
 At an early date shall issue a call
 for the conference you request Gap plause) l again greet you and bid you welcome in the name Of the American people and wish you God
 speed in your efforts for the common good of mankind"
