tribunal of international jurisdiction.
The ancient origin of arbitration af-
'fords us a just criterion of the diff
culties in the way of achieving it, and
of the progress made in it in the last
few years.
Allowing the antique precedents all
the credit to which they are entitled,
it must be admitted even by the most
pessimistic that the strides made by
international arbitration in the past
two decades, have excelled all the pro
bress in this path during the rest of
the centuries of world history.
Yet, civilization itself by it's vast
ness and completely, inventive gen
ius, by the unforeseen conditions it
creates, develop difficulties which re-
tard the accomplishment not only OF
peace, but even Of humane conduct of
war. A singular instance of this is
| furnished by the problem opened up
by aerial navigation.
The agreements signed at The
Hague in 1899 declared against the
practice of hurting proiectiles from
military balloons. The conference OF
| 1907, in which fifty nations participant
ed. adopted a resolution that balloons
should not be used for throwing of eX-
plosives.
Even as late as 1907, no human be
ing could have anticipated the evolu
ton of aviation in the last two years
So these sturdy announcements
against utilization Of balloons for the
violently aggressive and destructive
forms of war, were passed without
any particular difficulty.
What will the next great Peace
Conference do? Will it stand by the
action of the former ones, and prohib
it aerial use of explosives?
Or will 1t surrender point gained
simply because aerial navigation il
liable to become a potent factor il
war?
This question is but single ex
ample of the many paradoxical riddle
which must be guessed before the SC
luton of the profoundest of enigma
how to maintain the rights OF ma
lions and the sentiment of patriot
ism, and still eliminate war as tn
dernier resort. It is the grandes
