SCORES PROPOSED
PEACE TREATIES
Roosevelt Attacks Pending
Agreement.
DECLARES IT A HYPOCRISY
Country Would Repudiate II When
ever Suggestion Was Made That
II Refer a Question OF National
Honor TO Ou sldefs.

New York.-Former President
Roosevelt deals with the arbitration
treaties recently presented to the
Senate in an editorial article appear
ing in Outlook" He says in part:
1T is one of our prime duties as
nation to seek peace. 1t is an even
higher duty to seek righteousness.
II is also our duty not to indulge In
sham, not to make believe we are
getting peace by some patent con-
trivance which sensible men ought
to know cannot work In practice,
and which if we sought to make 1t
work might cause irretrievable harm.
81 sincerely believe in the prin-
ciple of arbitration; | believe in ap-
plying that principle so far as prac-
ticable; but believe that the effort
to apply it where II is not practicable
cannot do good and may do serious
harm. Confused thinking and
willingness to substitute words for
thought, even though inspired by an
entirely amiable sentimentality, do
not tend toward sound action"
Mr.. Roosevelt cites the Revolu-
tionary War, the Civil War, and the
Spanish-American War as instances
in which 1--WE put Righteousness
above peace" He also cites the ex-
listing arbitration treaties between
the United States, Great Britain and
France as better than the proposed
treaty, because they make no false
pretenses and exclude questions al
fecting our vital interests, independ-
ence or honor.
He continues:
"The wording of the treaty is 80
loose, il so lacks explicitness, as to
allow one set OF its advocates to an
nounce that it binds us to arbitrate
everything, and another set to say
that under it we would not have to
arbitrate anything we did not wish
10. Now, no moral movement is per-
manently helped by hypocrisy.
1T is our duty, so far is now pos
sible, so far as human nature In the
present day world will permit, to
try to provide peaceful substitutes
for war as a method for the settle
ment of international disputes. But
progress in this direction is merely
hindered by the folly that believes
in putting peace above righteousness.
"The history OF our country the
peace advocates who treat peace as
mere righteousness will never be,
and never have been, OF service,
either to it or to mankind. The true
lovers of peace, the men who have
really helped onward the movement
for peace, have been those who fol-
lowed even though afar off, in the
footsteps of Washington and Lincoln
and stood for righteousness as the
supreme end OF national life.
"Only by acting on these prin-
ciples. only by following in the foot
steps of these great Americans in the
mast. can we of the present genera
ton work for and secure the peace
of righteousness
