President Taft Strong for Peace

President Taft Strong for Peace.
Evening Wisconsin: President Taft s
address at the opening Of the Third
National Peace Conference in Baltimore
Yesterday contained assurances which
should quiet the Latin Americans and
others who fear the qualification Of
land grabbing instincts by Uncle Sam.
The President expressed the feeling OF
the American people when he said,
eve have had wars enough" America
never has been a warlike nation. It's
greatest soldiers - Washington and
Grant and Sherman-fought for peace,
and loved peace better than war.
The President is doing influential
work for peace by his efforts to forward
the arbitration pact between this
country aud Great Britain. What that
will bring about is not league for
defense or offense-not an "entangling
alliance" = but merely an agreement
that instead of going to war when they
differ between themselves, the United
States and Great Britain shall submit
to arbitration just as they did in the
historic instance of the Alabama claims,
which gave the world it's first hope of a
time when nations will be civilized
enough to take their disputes to cour
instead Of reSOrting to blows.

Al the peace conference in Baltimore,
last week, Cardinal Gibbons spoke at
length on the advantages Of peace from
both a general and spiritual standpoint
lie said:
II am persuaded that the signing Of a
treaty Of arbitration between Great
Britain and the United States not only
would be a source Of incalculable bless
ing to those two great powers, but
would go far toward the maintenance
Of permanent international peace
through the civilized world.

Let Britannia and Columbia join
hands across the Atlantic, and their
outstretched arms will form a sacred
arch of peace, a rainbow which will
excite the admiration Of the nations.
