Baltimore, Feb. 1.-THE American
Society for the Judicial Settlement OF
international Disputes, which was re-
Gently organized at the residence of
Theodore Marburg in Baltimore, and
which is heartily endorsed by Presi-
dent Taft and Secretary of State Knox,
has mapped out a definite and compre.

national disputes. The full scope of
the work the organization intends to
accomplish is explained in the follow
ing statement by Mr.. Theodore Mar

sY THEODORE MARBURG.

The purpose underlying the forma-
ton of the American Society for the
Judicial Settlement of International
Disputes is the promotion of the pro-
ject to establish judicial tribunal,
which will do for the civilized world
what the ordinary courts of justice do
for the individual, and to encourage
recourse to it when established. Such
a tribunal is fOreshadowed in the
Court of Arbitral Justice" adopted
in principle by the second Hague Con-
ference. 1t differs materially from
the existing Court of Arbitration at
The Hague.
A Panel Of Judges.
The latter consists practically of a
panel of judges to be drawn upon,
when it is desired to organize a tri-
bunal of arbitration for some specific
case. Courts of Arbitration, so or
ganized, have certain inherent weak
nesses. Their members are often ma
tionals, citizens of the countries in dis
agreement with all the prejudices ap.
pertaining to such citizenship; an arbi-
tration is costly and the expense is
borne solely by the nations, parties to
the dispute; the court is dissolved aft
err settling the case before it and such
a tribunal must lack continuity.
A. permanent court of justice on the
other hand, would gradually establish
precedents by which it would be gov
erned and would help to build up in
ternational law just as municipal law
is built up today by the decisions of
the present courts of justice. 1t
would gradually acquire a wide knowl-
edge of international practice, and in
time win the respect and confidence of
the world just as the Supreme Court of
the United States has won the conf
dence of the people of the separate
states of the Union. Furthermore,
it's very existence would be an invita-
ton to define more clearly interna-
tional law and possibly to codify por-
tions of it. An example in point is
the fact that the establishment of an
international Prize Court" by the
Second Hague Conference, 1907, led to
the holding of a convention in London
in 1909, to codify the law of prize.
The expense of maintaining the

Arbitration Valuable.

Arbitration has been for some time,
and will continue to be, of very great
value: but it is merely the stepping
stone to an institution far more effect
i've, viz: the proposed international
court of justice.
The existing provision that the
court of arbitral justice shall come into
being whenever any two powers pro-
coed to institute it, makes such per-
ment international court realisable;
and it is reasonable to suppose that
when once in operation as between two
or more powers the accession of other
powers will follow.
The task before the new society is
to show the people of this and other
lands
Tasks Of the Society.
First, That the movement to reject
war as means of settling internation-
al controversies has already become a
practical movement. made such by the
achievements of arbitration and kim
dred institutions. Instance the mum
Der of arbitrations brought to a sue
cessful conclusion in the recent past,
the treaties entered 1nIO 10 SUBMIT lu-
ture disputes to arbitration, and pre-
eminently the adjustment of such n
dangerous episode as the Dogger Bank
affair, by a mere institution, an insti-
tuition so simple as a commission of in
quiry, provided in advance by the first
| Hague conference.
Second, That the proposed court OF
arbitral justice offers greater posi-
bilities for the peaceful settlement of
| international controversies along per-
manent lines than any existing institu-
tons.
Third, That the growing weight of
ornaments is forcing men to turn
their attention to this subject as never
| before and makes the success of such
movement more probable. AS thus
| far planned the channels through
| which the new society proposes to
work are principally two. viz: the is
| suing of brief statements of scientific
accuracy by leading men of various
countries, and meetings of national
scope.

The new society will enter into no
direct propaganda for peace. for arbi-
tration. nor for disarmament. It's aim
is to advocate the most practical means
hitherto devised of settling certain
kinds of international disputes without
resort to war, and to leave to societies
organized for that purpose, the very
useful work of bringing home to men
the evils of war; It's promoters be-
lieve that in the fullness of time peace
and disarmament will follow as the re-
suit of a growing habit of referring in
ternational difficulties to a permanen
and easily accessible international
court, just as trial by combat, by which
in former times a disputant could es-
tablish the justice of his claim only by
disabling his opponent, fell into dis
use of it's own accord, when courts of
justice were set up.
The movement for disarmament has
failed to make any progress because
we cannot expect a given nation to dis
arm SO long as it remains open to at
tack by other nations. With a GER
tain notable exception, nations which
have gone to war have generally be-
lieved that they had a grievance-some
claim to enforce or some aggression
to repel. Each side has believed itself
wholly in the right. Give them the
machinery for determining the right
and war, so costly in human suffering
and waste Of material resources, will
be less resorted to. Arbitration does
not completely satisfy this need. Ere
quently it's governing principle is COM
promise, and nation which feels itself
wholly in the right in some dispute of
high Importance, may be unwilling to
run the risk of compromise of it's
presumed right.

The decision was In the csse of John

all land within five miles of known

Judge Lewis held that unless there

WHAT WE ARE DOING.

The other day The Herald pub
lished a letter addressed to A. L.
Nathan, president Of the board of
trade, giving the status of the
Fort Lewis Indian school. The
question arises. Are our people
going to sit idly by and let the
work inaugurated by one Leupp be
carried out without further protest.
A year or so ago the school was
continued through the efforts Of
Mr.. Nathan and members Of the
board OF trade assisted by a few
outsiders.
And why should Grand juno.
tion come in for preference. Ev-
cry argument is In favor Of Fort

tween the schools. It does seem
that some action should be taken
at once and our Colorado deIeoa-
ton urged to make a fight for what
is right regarding the Indian pupils
and the government.
The Herald will take this matter
up more fully in a day or two, set
ting forth indisputabIe facts.
In the meantime does any Du-
ranaoite for moment think that
asingle citizen of Grand junction
would see their Indian school
