PEACE BANQUET
IN NEW YORK IS
GREAT SUCCESS
No Discussions Arise To Views OF
President Taft On Russian
Abrogatien

New York, Dec. 30.--Preceded by
dissensions, which seemed for a time
to threaten a climax, anything but
pacific, the Citizens Peace Banquet
tonight proved in realization every
thing that its name implied, at
least as concerned its attendant
conditions. ET
President Taft, guest of honor
and chief speaker of the evening,
while arguing for the impending ar
bitration treaty between the United
States and Great Britain and France
went further tonight than in other
previous addresses and replied spec
ificaly to some criticisms recently
made against the principles embod-
led in these treaties.
He also made answer to the charge
of Inconsistency, lodged against the
arbitration treaties. He did not
, favor arbitration in the difficulties
between the United States and Rus
sia.
Those of us who are in favor OF
these treaties have been criticised
as inconsistent, because we did not
invoke arbitration In the recent diff
ferences with Russia" said Tart.
''All that can say is that II you
will read the great arguments OF

the treaty should be terminated and
