international war. This interest
 deepens with the announcement that
 he twenty-four trustees of the fund
 have chosen MT. Elihu Root as their l president, and, that the leaders o'
 h board of trustees are such men as Dr. Elliot, the ex-president of Harvard. pr. Butler, the president of Columbia university, Mir Choat. and Nr. A. D. White, a former ambassa- dor to Berlin.
 The meaning of the movement, as at firstapparent, is. that body of
 influential and capable men win exercise a free hand in the expendi- ture of s5OO,OOo annually in promot- ing international peace. But politi- cans and patriots Of two continents are predicting the manner of it's eX- Ipenditure. This prediction rests up- on the corroooration that Mir Car negie has given to a part of an ad- dress delivered a year ago by Presi- dent Taft to the Peace and Arbi- tration Society" of New York. The subject matter referred to is the presidents statement that national honor' appears to many as the great est barrier to be overcome; and, that he could not understand why this as well as any question of prop erty right or of national proprietor ship could not be referred to Court of Arbitration" MT Carnegie quotes the president in another ad- dress No man ever touched another mans honor; no nation ever dishon- cred another ration; all houor's wounds are selfinticted,"
 Leading journalists in England, and a few in this country, assume that Mir. Carnegie's views of war are that it is a disease; and they predict that the first expenditure of income from the S1O,O0O,00O fund will be to make a diagnosis of the cause of war and of their effect up on the bodies polite which have taken part m them
 This suggests the friendly contro- versy that has been going on for some time between MT. Carnegie and the editor of ''The London Post The latter made criticism of Mir .Carnegie's peace doctrine and sought to justify his position by an appeal Ito the teaching of the Civil War in the United States. It was cleaned that the good results of the re-es- tablishment Of the Union and abol- ition of slavery could not have been prcdnced by any form of arbitration. Mir. Carnegie explained that "civil. var did not enter the class of oper- atiOns which he wished to prevent by arbitration. To the Englishman the distinction between civil war and industrial war and international war hardly seemed to carry with at sufficient difference to make it worth while to abolish one while leaving the other permissible.
 It seems certain to us that it the parties to 1t before teh war be- gan were members of the same Con- .federacy-a Confederacy whose con stitution plainly bound them to set tie any disputes by arbitration. The question may be asked, Was this war Civil or International?'' Evidently, there sroom for diag- nosis on the part of the trustees of the Carnegie fund, if only to dis cover what international" was is.
 Again 1t wifi be interesting to learn from them just what inter national honor" is. Place our Mon roe Doctrine beside this term of national honor" Imagine a dis agreement arising between us and European power in which we as- sert and believe trat that other pow CT was proposing to violate the Mon roe Doctrine. Suppose it suggested by President Taft, Mir. Carnegie, or any other influential man or peace board" to submit the dispute to ar filtration, and that when this was done an answer was returned in the negative; would the point of bonor enter.
 Might 1t not be stated then that the Monroe Doctrine expresses the
 Efil of the United States and that Q nations honor is thought to con slst in it's raving it's own will IL sE a great question. The world is
 more than ever interested in it. That this interest should intensify
 ith the Catholic outlook Of this I he greatest age of history encou- I Iagement Is given to the most fond hope for universal peace. Many to-
 Hay doubt the prospect Of two na-
 lions submitting to arb 'tration in a quarrel in which either of them
 thinks that some principle vital to
 IS welfare is at stake. To have
