Presentation to Roosevelt
"A IHiiu resolution was passed with ,
number of dissenting voices, that the repre-
sensations contained in the second resoIn
tion shall, If possible, be presented to the
PRESIDENT of the United States, and that the
chairman and secretary of the Organization
committee are desired Immediately to make
the necessary ARRANGEMENTS
Durlns the discussion preceding the adop-
tion OF the resolutions DR.. Scherer of Rus
sia said the sentiment of the people of RUS
sla was in favor of the principle of peace
William Randall Cremer, MP, of Eng
land, favored the resolutions His state
ment that the treaty between England and
Japan was blunder, and doubtless had
much to do in bringing on the war, nee it
promised that If Japan were attacked by
any other power England would come to
her help, called forth a vigorous answer
from Col. Bryce Jones, MP, who declared
that the Anglo-Japanese treaty had been
favored by both parties in parliament.
Prof TIL. Ruyssen of France urged that
President Roosevelt take the initiative
France, he said, was not likely to move
first for the reason that she was allied with
Russia in way which would make the step
difficult. But France and Great Britain, he
said, would act in perfect accord.

were agreeable to him, but he thought it
