Carnegie on the Results.
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, who is presi-
dent Of the Peace Congress, tonight
gave out a statement as to the re-
suits OF the congress just closed.
5 Although not so designated by Mr.. Car
negic, the statement constitutes a reply
to some Of the suggestions contained i'll
the letter which President Roosevelt adj
dressed to the congress on It's opening
day. Mr.. Carnegie quotes these state
4 ments as "objcctions,' and proceeds to
answer them as follows:
"Our peace conference has brought
three objections clearly before us.
.Frsr-Nations cannot submit all
questions to arbitration
''Answer--SiS of them have recently
done so by treaty--Denmark and the
Netherlands, Chile. and Argentina,
Norway and Sweden
Observation-Disclosures is higher than
peace
Answer. The first principle of
natural justice forbids men to be
Judges when they are parties to
the issue. All law rests upon this
throughout the civilized world.

a case in which lie was secretly
interested he would be dishonorca
and expelled from his high Office
II any individual refused tc sub
nit his dispute with q neighhor
to disinterested parties (arbtra-
tors or iudges) and insisted upon
4a being his own Judge he would vlo
late the first principles Of justice.
If he resorted to force in daranS,
OF his right to Judge he would be
dlshonored as Il breaker of the law.
Thus peace with Justice is secured
through arbitration, either b. court
or by tribunal, never by one of tho
parties sitting as Judge in his own
cause.
Third It As neither peace nor
Justice, But righteousness that shall
exalt the nation
Answer. Righteousness is simply
doing what is right What is aust is
always right; what Is unjust is al
ways wrong. 1t is the first principle
of justice that men shall not be
judges in their own cause; to refuse
to submit to judge or arbitrator is
unjust, hence not right. for The cs-
sence Of righteousness IS justice.
Therefore men who place justice or
righteousness above peace practically
