Mr.. Taft on Peace.

PEELED a remarkable demonstration from
one Of the most illustrious assemblies
that this country has seen in recent
years. To win the appreciation Of
such a company by the clear perception
Of what the promoters were striving for,
and Of the conditions against which their
efforts We're directed, and. finally, by
the clever summing up of the entire case

judgment, the truth of his arguments,
and the completeness of his grasp.
Ii is a matter OF congratulation 10 the
United States that its Chief Executive

as it was admirable in its conception.
The quality that is most pleasing in
the Presidents speech is the very evil

strength of the convictions that both
prompted the action and permeated the
entire address. For this reason, if for
no other. what the President had to say

The interest OF the United States in

clause of any existing treaties. The
treaty between Canada and the United

Great Lakes will, of course, remain in
force, for this was one OF the wisest
treaties ever conceived. 1t has prevent
