Baltimore, Md, May 4.-"Dollar dip
lomacy," the newly coined phrase, ap-
piled to the expansion of American
interests through the efforts
of the state department of the United
States, means the substitution of dol
lars for bullets in the creation of pros
perity, which will be preferred to
hereditary stuff, and a practical mode
of pursuing worlds peace, according
to the Interpretation of Huntington
Wilson, assistant secretary of state,
as presented to the third national
peace congress today. Wilson pre-
sided at the forenoon session.
New World Consciousness.
Baltimore, Md, May Airs. Elmer
Black, of the American Peace and Ar
bitration League, New York, and one
of the vice presidents of the third ma
tional peace conference here addressed
the conference today on the subject
of THE New World d-Consciousness. I"
Mrs. Black declared that the growing
feeling of kinship among nations was
one of the most potent factors work
ing for universal peace. She said in
part:
1--WE thought we had made such
wonderful progress yesterday, for we
had passed from the old state con-
sciousness, with which the nineteenth
century opened, up into the sense of
nationality. This took a century, and
was wonderful step upward and out
ward. And a century was a short
time in which to reach this point
where we no longer thought in the
small terms of state, but, putting our
provinvialism behind us, began to
think in terms of the nation.
after only ten years, our national
consciousness seems provincial, and
we have risen to think in terms of the
world.
This world-consciousness has in
ten years advanced far, and it is the
great promise of the peace movement.
and here is the great task of the
peace societies. It is to foster this
world-consciousness, to educate the
people into it, to show them its in
evitableness, to interpret to them the
rapid and confusing processes which
are making toward it so fast that they
can hardly be comprehended, to show
them the manifold signs of it's com
ing. The American Peace and Arbi-
tration League has gladly assumed this
task from the beginning.
Personally, am greatly interested
in woman's work for peace. l believe
woman's opportunities are greater
here than in almost any other field
Her sympathies are broad, and this
work of welding the nations calls for
great, broad, charitable, sympathetic
minds.
CAS- she rises from her older status
of the silent comforter of man to be
ia factor in the thought and action OF
the world, she can, if she will, be an
equal influence in this peace cause as
we'll as find it a field of endeavor full
of interest and charm.
"Her battles have always been won
by moral force, rather than by arms
Now that man is beginning to see that
moral force is higher than iron and
power, and is trying to transfer his
battles into the moral fields of Hague
court and arbitration, who more fit
ting to lead the way than she who has
always won her battle by the pure
strong force of reason, love and for
bearance?"
Texan on Monroe Doctrine.
Baltimore, Nd, May 4-James L
Slayden, member of congress from
Texas, devoted his address at the third
national peace congress today in al
attack on the popular conception Of
the Monroe doctrine. He declared that
the impression of the average Ameri
can to the effect that it was the bust
ness of this country to maintain 9
form of protectorate over all Ameri
can states, to dictate their foreign
policies, to protect them from just
punishment for failure to fulfill theil
obligations and to enter their internal
differences and to send troops from
thi- country into fhnir hordnrc To fnrne
