Arbitration. tration and armament
we'll worth the careful
consideration of Congress, we deem
even more essential that some form of
naval program be authorized at once.
Arbitration as a principle, and as q
sirable method of deciding quarrels,
is as old as the world itself. 1t was ap-
piled by Cyrus, when he took the king
of the Indians for arbitrator between
himself and the king of Assyrla. The
Athenians acted as arbiters between
the Rhodians and Demetrius. As to
when this principle shall be beyond per-
adventure established, who can say?
The cornerstone of the great struc-
ture of international comfy was laid
by Grotius 2S3 years ago, and its COM
pletion is on the knees of the gods.
When complete system for interna-
tional arbitration shall have been de-
vised, and successfully operated for a
suiflcient time, under trying circum-
stances, then the idea of weakening
the armed hand OF the nation NAV be
entertained, without violation of i'm
perative duty to those who must bear
the prunt of war, should 1t come. and

and commercial, are at stake. We
