Points Made at Cairo.
In his speech at Cairo the President

In his speech at Cairo the President
said:
The policy OF 'peacc with insult" is
the very worst policy upon which it is
possible to embark, whether for a nation
or an individual.
l think thu. the excellent people who
have complained of our policy as hurt
ing business have shown much the same
spirit as the child who regards the dent
list and not the liberated tooth as the real
source of its woe.
If a man is afraid to mold his own, IL
he will submit tamely to wrongdoing, he
is con5emptible. If he is a bully. an
oppressor, n man who wrongs or insults
others. he is even worse and should be
hunted out of the community. >
Well, all this is just as true of a nation
as of an individual.
The best way to parry is to hit-no
fight can ever be won except by hitting
and we can only hit by means of the navy.
. . *The navy must be built and all
its training given in time of peace. When
once war has broken out it is too late
to do anything.
We believe in q real. not a sham,
democracy. We believe in a democracy
as regards political rights, as regards ed
u~cation. and, finally, as regards indus
trial conditions.
We have definitely taken our place
among the great world powers and it
would be a sign of weakness, having TAX
en- such Il place, to shirk its response
b~ilities. Therefore, unless we are willing
to abandon this place. to abandon our in
s%istence upon the Monroe doctrine. to
give up the Panama canal. and TO be
content to acknowledge ourselves Il weak.
timid nation. we must steadily build up
and maintain a great fighting navy.

Pence conference ropic. Again.

The question of the limitation OF arma-
ments having been disposed Of with the
mildest kind of resolution, suggesting that
the different governments consider the
matter, The Hague conference entered
upon a new stage with British, American,
German and French delegations combin-
ing against Russia, Belgium and others
who are anxious to terminate the confer
ence. America, England and Germany
agreed on a scheme for the establishment
Of an international prize court, which
Is also acceptable to France and certain
of adoption. A new feature OF this scheme
is that the prize court viii be a part of
the permanent arbitration court, and
therefore does not presuppose the exist
ence of war. This further strengthened
the case in behalf of a permanent court
by showing hat it would have impor-
tant work to do.
