Work OF Hague Tribunal
Secondly. there is the further de-
vo,onment of The Hague tribunal, or
the work Of the conferences ana courts
at The Hague. 1t has been well salu
that the first Hague conference
framed a Magma Charta for the ma
lions; it set before us an ideal WHICH
bao already to some extent been real
lied, and towards the full reallAatlon
Of which we can all steadily strl'e'
The second conference made iurther

In the third place, something shou
ha done as soon as possible 10 che'
1t the tho growth of ornaments, especlal
