NOTAS DE LA HAYA
UN RUMOR GRAVE

Por primera vez, una emoci6n sin
cera ha conmovido a los innumera-
bles miem bros de las delegaciones
No ha sido una emocion polftica. La
polltica es para los diplom aticos co
mo un campo de batalla, y ell que
ante ella palidece, Sc cree tan des-
honrado cual Ell militar que item bla

ci6n polltica. Que Sc declare mafIana
que Ia paz va reinar entire los hom-
bres, y estos plenipotenciarios no
sentlran, s por 10 menos no aparenta-
ran sentir, NADIA. Que Sc disponga
que los pueblos, en- vez de arruinarse
en- armamentos indtiles sc en-
plearan, de hoy mas, sus fuerzas en-
hacer la vida llevadera, y nadie de
mostrara Ell menor susie. Que Sc
decrete. en- fin, que los grandes i'm
perios de presa no tienen va derecho
4 conquistar 4 los pueblos, cuyo sole
crlmen consiste en- ser menoS fuer-
tes, y nIngdn semblante dcjara trans
parentarse la mas ligera extrafeza
Pero que Sc conhrme realmente a.

grave que ha circulado desde que
