A preacher In the East who
protested against the idea that
this world can get along without
war said that everything of val.
uc we have, our civilization, our
laws, our customs, are stained
with blood" That Is hardly true
SO far as the wars between na.
tions arc concerned. Most Of
these were needless and could
have been settled without war.
Nearly all the wars that have
been of value to the world were
civil wars, where some principal
of human rights has been contest.
cd. Take our own history, with
| its four wars, and ask which
/ were the wars for liberty, hu.
manity and equal rights. The
same thing will be true in the
history Of any nation the sort
that has advanced civilization was
not the kind that would naturally
come within the jurisdiction OF
The Hague Tribunal.
There is a vital difference in the
very nature of the dispute be-
tween Il war between nations and
n war within Il nation; precisely
the difference there is between
two ncighbors ut loggerheads
and u family quarrel. The for
mer, the law reaches; the Mter Is
under q wholly different set oI
principles. There is M entirely
different set of rights in Il family
from what there is existing in
community; and they must b'
treated differently. Nations ar'
like individuals, and the relations
, out of which rights and dutic,
. grow are quite the same, ant
whatever disturbs these relations
, should be adjusted in the sam
manner that civilization has pre-
scribed for individual life, and 81
a war between nations is a sigl
[, that civilization has left undon
, it's greatest duty, which is no
=. only the settlement of a dispute
3 but the protection of the wea
against the strong. Until that
v done our civilization is q prou
