The San Francisco call., 1904-12-06


stant internecine strife in South Amer
lea and pointed to the great good in
ternational arbitration would do to
these small nations that periodically
bleed themselves to death in purpose
less wars. In conclusion he support
ed President Wheeler's big stick"
theory and gave as his view that the
offensive and defensive strength of
/. this nation will greatly aid it in its
campaign for peace.
Rabbi Voorsanger drew a striking
picture of what he believed would be
the last war on earth-a war, per-
haps, in which the United States and
England, side by side, may battle with
them to submit TO the ways of peace
and to throw their destinies into the
hands of a tribunal that shall hence
forth deal out justice to the weak as
well as the strong. In conclusion he
said that before this peace can come,
however, nations, as individuals. must
first learn the secret of self-controI
and when this is done even the courts
of arbitration will find but small en-
ployment.
TERRIBLE COST OF WAR.
The Rev. Mr.. Brown spoke on the
business view Of war; told of its ter
rible cost in human lives and gold and
said that from any standpoint it did
not pay. A better way TO settle dis
putes of the nations must be found, he
said, and in the idea of arbitration it
had been found and when agreed to by
all nations II would be to the honor
and glory of God and to the credit of
all His people.
The question Of war once settled, said
Mr.. Lane, the nations of the earth
could turn their attention to questions
more directly bearing upon the hap
piness of their people. 1t would mean
that time could be given to the prob
lem of the congested city and the de-
serted farm, to the growing disrespect
for law and to the settling of the trou-
bles that are arraying class against
class and that are threatening even the
stability of the institutions Of this free
nation
But he said he had no fear that these
problems would not be met before 1t
was too late. When they were met it
could be said that at last the world was
at peace and that the justice of law
had forever displaced the right that
comes with the might of the sword.
