AVOIDING INTERNATIONAL DISPUTES


The japanese Ambassador at Lake MohOnk
yesterday expressed uncertainty TO whether
all the international policies of his country Of
which he spoke were in accord with the prin-
ciples of the conference which he was ad-
dressing. but there can be no doubt that one
Of the salient points In his address was Of ex-
ceptional pertinence and value, and if not Ell
tirey novel was at least less familiar than
most of the topics discussed at such gatherings.
The stock demand of peace and arbitration con-
crosses is for amicable means of settling in
ternational disputes the apparent assumption
being that disputes are inevitable. There can
be no doubt of the desirabty of such settle
ments whenever they are possible and
conpatible with national welfare but the as
sumption that controversies requiring settle
nent are bound TO occur, and always 10 con-
rinue occurring is at least open TO question.
The point raised by Baron Takahira is that
disputes are not necessarily inevitable, and that
il is desirable not only TO devise means of set
ting them when they do arise but also 10 seek
10 avoid them altogether The advocates of
arbitration ask why nations should fight over
their disputes The japanese statesman asks
further why they should have disputes. or at
least why they should have as many they
do Perhaps il would be difficult. even impos-
sibie 10 avoid them by international agreement.
But not all things not even all things between
nations are dealt with by international agree
ment. The propaganda Of peace may seem
more impressive and more attractive for
ploitaton when made an international affair.
but there IS reason 10 think that IL may in
some respects be more effectively pressed as a
purely national and domestic movement
IL should not seem paradoxical 10 say that a
nations foreign interests are Of domestic origin,
and that its relationships with other powers
erise from within. That point WIS clear in
Baron Takahira's mind and he set it forth
lucdy and forcefuly 10 his Lake Mohonk hear
ers A careful study Of international disputes
had shown him, he told them, that they arise
from the internal condition OF the countries or
of one of them. almost as much as If indeed
not more than from the conflict of external in
terests In support of that view he cited the
circumstance that such disputes usually occur

where there are signs Of disorder, retrogression
or disagreement Just rain falls from that
part of the sky in which there clouds. so
international disputes develop where there are
undesirable conditions of national life That
is not always the case, but 1t is so frequently
the case as to make it highly worthy OF con-
sideration
The implied suggestion of the Japanese Am
bassador is. then that nations should seek 10
avoid quarrels and disputes with their neigh
bors. and should do by improving their own
domestic conditions of life and government
That, we must unhesitatingly say, is souhd
policy. The nation which conducts its domestic
affairs with Justice and in an orderly fashion
Is not likely TO give of offence TO ltS
neighbors. while the nation which is disorderly
and lawless at home can scarcely aVoio gettiis
into conflicts abroad The rule is simple, logical
and reasonable, and the application or 1t is 1or
nations to set and TO keep their own houses In
order. 1t has been suggested, half quizzlcahy'
that there are some people so enamoured OF ar
bitration that they would actually welcome IN
ternational disputes just for the sake or ar
bitrating them We should not like 70 DelleVe
that, seriously. but we cannot help thinking
that it would be better for peace and arbitra-
ton conferences generally 10 follow more closely
the suggestion Of Baron Takahira, and to regard
arbitration as q thing not in itself deslraDle put
merely TO be accepted as the less OF two evils,
and TO cherish as the supremely desirable aim
such an elevation of domestic standards or lie
and law within the nation and such cultivation
of courtesy not only in diplomatic dealings but
also In domestic habits of thought concerning
Others as will reduce to the minimum the dan
ger of disputes and therefore the need of any
means of settling them.
