Plan of Annual Congress.

Inc plan Of an annual congress has
been widely reduced TO the proposition
that the next conference be a permanent
body. with the right TO meet periodically
and automatically, for the purpose Of
codifying international law and discuss
ing international questions such as the
course Of events may make paramount.
No well-meaning government. it seems
to me. can object, either 10 this PROPOSE
ton or 10 a model arbitration treaty.
which refers all minor disputes to The
Hague court and provides further that
in case OF vital differences, such as may
affect the independence. honor. or vital
interests Of nations. the contending par
ties shall first consent to an impartial
investigation OF the cause Of their con-
troversy before war Is to be declared.
And these are the two cardinal demands

Historic St. Louis Resolution.

One night. reading w. F. Hollis book
ron the 1899 conference at The Hague. I
ran across the story Of how the dele
gates had recommended the holding OF
a subsequent conference for the debat-
ing OF unfinished business Of their first
meeting. This proved 70 be the cue
for what is now called in diplomatic
circles the historic resolution Of St
Louis" When I penned that resolu-
ton it was perfectly clear TO me that
TO Roadway could be made in the direc-
ton Of more permanent peace by flying
into the faces Of the military powers OF
Europe with propositions looking TO
disarmament. or even an arrest of
ornaments As reasonable as this latter
plan might appear. and especially In
the light Of the enormously growing
burdens Of the people resulting from
war preparedness the first Hague
conference had taught US the lesson
that certain governments would never
consent to such a weakening Of what
they regard the safeguards o. their ma
tional security.
Right OF wrong, they took that stand
an 1899. and no doubt will do so again
in 1907. Hence it IS z condition. not a
theory, that confronts the friends of
peace and justice, and II real progress
IS to be made. believe it to be the part
of wisdom to proceed along different
lines. along lines of less resistance.
They are indicated in resolution Of St.
Louis" the text of which 1 will here
insert. and without which my story
would be incomplete. 1t is as follows:
Whereas. enlightened public opinion
and modern civilization alike demand
that differences between nations should

manner as disputes between individuals

courts, this conference (St. LOuis). Sep
