tives. and demand the whole reform in

committee. President Roosevelt, who
was awarded the peace prize Dec. 10
last, writes that he will value the di-
ploma and medal as long as he lives,
and after his death they will be highly
priced by his children. The president

disposition of the money part Of the
prize adds that peace among the vari-

ization is of just as great Importance
as peace between nations He believed
therefore, that the use to which he was
putting the money was entirely in sym
pathy with the aims Of the Nobel
foundation. The letter shows that
President Roosevelt is aware Of the
fact that prominent Swedes (Nobel was
Swede) have argued that Nobel in
tended the prize for persons who have
distinguished themselves In the agita-
ton in favor Of international peace
and that he never had domestic labor
conflicts in mind when he set aside mil.
lions of his vast fortune for the r..
nous peace prizes.
