Look for New Treaties.
The advocates,of arbitration hope that
treaties between the United States and
other nations Will be the outcome Of the
ST. Louis session Of the international
Parliament. And as the arbitration
treaties concluded in Europe are very
defective. they say II IS still not too late
for the United States TO lead in this
movement. which is becoming world
wide by bringing out an arbitra ton
treaty good enough to become model.

What is the Interparliamentary Union,
which met I'm St. Louis today?
1t Is tie outgrowth OF an English car
penter's determination TO enlarge the
area Of peace and justice. and TO narrow

This carpenter is named William Ran

tered the British parliament. and has
been there ever since, except one term
Began Work for Peace.
Soon after he entered parliament he de-
termined to work FOR peace and against
war. Being practical man. he saw the
futility Of advocating disarmament and
the wisdom Of inauEuratiug positive
policy that would begin at once to exert
an influence for peace. and that in the
end might have great power.
Up 90 that time there lad been no talk
about treaties binding nations to arbi-
tratioA All that was SAID about arbi-
tration was for the reference of a par
ticular existing controversy 10 arbitra-
ton.
Cremer. decided that the way to begin
an effectual war on war was TO press
for arbitration treaties between nations
Wanted United States to Lead
He thought the United States was
more free from the bitterness Of ancient
animOsities and from the complications
Of present or probably international con
troversies than any other nation. and
that IT would be easier to conclude an
arbitration treaty between England and
the United States than between any
other two nations He tnouc-ht roo

initiative.
So ne drew up a memorial requesting
the United states TO take the lead in

memorial Having secured the sigma
lures OF 234 members OF the British par
( lament, he sent his memorial 10 the
United States Congress.
IT was received graciously enough. but
nothing was done.
Nothing Done.
Then he made a motion in the British
parliament for such a treaty. Il took
three years to bring it to a vote. but
when voted on at last II was adopted
unanimously.
But no r spouse came from the Amer

Then he got up another memorial,
