armament Of the nations
No man In this great assemhlage
would rejoice more sincerely than r.
said MIR. Van Cleave, at the estab-
lishment OF universal and eternal
peace. but am compelled by circum-
stances to say that the United States
can not safely lose sight Of Crom-
wells injunction to keep our powder
dry. Great Britain. Spain and the
United States are to propose in the
Hague peace conference In June a
Limitation OF the armaments Of the
nations. Russia, Germany and Aus
trfa will oppose this proposition. This
means that many years must pass
before the nations disband their ar.
mics and navies or place any restric.
tions upon their expansion.

This country must be friendly tn

Van Cleave. "It must meet its obli

so ordered our conduct as to appeal
to the worlds sense of fairness and
justice. We shall be able to submit
