Bryan's Resolution.
Mr., Bnrtholdt expressed particular
gratlflcatoni at the solution suggested by
the committee, appointed at Brussels. of
this most perplcxlng problem. The
scheme to convert the n ext Hague con-
ference into a permanent body, which
would meet at stated periods, and to
create a council for the oodification and
development Of International law, he con-
sIdered SO thoroughly and practicable and
timely that no well-dlsposed government
could object to 1t.
AT this junctnrc, William & ]. # Bryan
rose, his M appearance a being heartily
cheered II cannot see,'' he said, that
people have any Justification In killing
each other before Investigating the ques-
ton involved. There Is no question of
the sufficient Importance Of this I want
to move an amendment to Herr Won
Plener's recommendation to be appended
tc the commissions report, II goes fur
ther than his, without going too far,
This Is my resolution: AZ
"If disagreement should OCCUR
between contracting parties when the
terms of the proposed arbitration 4
treaty need not be submitted to arbi-
tration, they shall. before declaring
war or engaging In any hostillties
whatever, submit the question to The
tial international tribunal for fnves-
tigation and report, each party re-
serving the right to act independent

ference. Isl II 4
