FIFTY YEARS OF HORROR
IF EUROPE GOES TO WAR.
Scotch Peace Advocate Proves Direful
Prophet.

Europe will be swept by devasta-
ton that will last for perhaps fifty
years If any two European powers be-
come involved in war"
| This statement was made by the
Rev. Walter Walsh. city councillor Of
Dundee. Scotland. and one Of the
worlds foremost advocates Of peace.
recently before the City club of Chi
cage on the military situation in Eu-
rope. DR.. Walsh deplored the preva
lence of war. basing his assertion more
on unitarian than on humanitarian
principles.
ut is impossible to believe that any
two Of the great powers would be al
lowed to remain alone in war;" he
said. Europe would be drawn into
two parts arrayed against each other
For instance. Great Britain might be
allied with Russia and France in op'
position to the German and Austrian
empires and perhaps Italy. If war
should begin the result would be bank
ruptcy for every nation concerned and
devastation Of the continent from
which the nations might not recover
in half century.
"All the powers are ready to fight.
and yet every one of them welcomes
the idea Of an agreement that will
prevent war. The German empire is
the strongest individual nation. but it
would be confronted by Il mighty ALI
ance if it should attempt violence to
one of it's enemies. Its army Is the
best in Europe. but | believe that the
resources Of Great Britain would hold
out longer than those Of the Germans.
THE remedy for this situation is to
be found in the establishment Of an
international court Of arbitral justice.
probably AT The Hague. in the Meth
erlands. MIR. Knox. the secretary Of
state. has promised that this court
shall be in existence when the next
Hague conference meets In 1918.
"All Europe Is eager to see the court
in working order. Every nation has
been waiting to see the United States.
the only dsinterested nation. start the
work. Both the late King Edward and
the kaiser have said that they were
heartily in favor Of the PLAN"

Taft, the brother of the president.
The story involving the sale of the
friar lands is a most interesting one.
When the United tSates government
took over the Philippines President
/: Mckinley impressed upon members of
congress time and again that what he
wished to avoid was the exploitation
| by any special interest of single acre
of land if possible. Apparently Mr.. Nc
Kinley had some apprehension on the
subject, because he is known to have
worried and fretted over the matter
! To avoid the exploitation oc the ISL
ands 1t was provided by law that no
corporation should be allowed to pur-
chase over $500 acres of land, and 10
| individual over 40 acres
| With the American occupation of the
| Philippines, the friars held over 4O0,-
| 900 acres of sugar land, the richest and
most valuable, in the islands The
government purchased these lands.
| paying 1920, 900.
| On December Z, press dispatches
brought the announcement to Wash
| ington that E L. Poole, a representa-
tive of the Havemeyer interests, had
purchased $4,000 acres of friar lands.
A few days later it began to dawn on
members of congress that the trans
action was of doubtful legality because
of the restriction as to the amount of
land that could be purchased by an
| individual, which was contained in the
organic act passed by congress ere
at:ng the Philippines government
An investigation developed the ex-
PLANTATION that the attorney general, to
make possible the sale of these lands
to the sugar trust and other combina
tons without restriction by law, had
decided that as they were not part OF
the public lands at the time the act of
congress was passed, the act could not
apply to them.
| Whether this was good law can make
! little difference in view of the fact that
the sale to the sugar trust of $4,000
acres Of these friar lands was an open
violation of the policy prescribed by
congress and declared to be absolutely
necessary to prevent just such monop-
| olization as the trust has been per-
mitted 10 effect
