Baltimore Md. May ,. o. President
Taft, in his speech at the opening Of
the Third National Peace conference
here today said the United States
should keep hands off and not seek to
acquire to ,Atcnd It's dominion or to
acquire foreign territory
The President made no mention of
Mexico. but to those who heard him
It was evident that trouble In the sit
uation there and the suspicion In the
South American republics as to the
/ intention OF this nation In regard TO
it's southern neighbors had inspired
/ him.
"One Of the difficulties the United
States finds Is the natural suspicion
hat the Countries engaged have AS
80 the motives which the United States
has In tcnde.ing its good offices" con-
/ tinued the President Assertion Of
good faith helps little whore the sus-
picion is real, and yet | ike to avail

length and breadth OF the United
States among its people any desire for
territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT. and that

In an address before the Third Nat
ional Peace Congress here today.
II rise with dlftiicnCe," said Mr..
/ Carnegie, TO address the members
/ OF our various peace societies here
assembled IN the presence of the
great peace compelling rulcr-the
/ bearer of the message from on high,
who, through his trumpet with one
blast, has blown down the strong
/ hold Of international war, Ilich lay
| In the falacy that nations could not
submit to arbitration questions af-
/ fccting their honor or vital interests
/ without losing their sOvercgnty
which only meant. however, their fan
cied dignity, the truth being that the
nation which could not submit any
and every question was already be-
reft Of sovereignty, which means
power to do what It plcascs. When
! a nation agrees to settle all disputes,
she possesses her sovereignty.
"To President Tafts appeal to the
world, in which both his heart and
head went forth fer one Great Nation
to join his country IN proving their
sovereignty by agreeing To submit all
disputes to peaceful settlement be-
hold there came such response across
/ the sea from the other branch Of our
! English speaking race, as had never
been made to any appeal before. The
leaders Of parties In Britain sunk tho
partisan In the patriot, touched by
the Presidents appeal. The nation
was unanimous, all parties fused into
one Today the representatives. Of the
two lands are forming the treaty and
here Britain knows nothing Of party
for all parties cooperate, a sublime
spectacle, proving that party issues
fade In the presence Of the high moral
issue which leads nations to peace,
What Of our own statesmen, leaders
Of party? Are they To emulate
their compecrs " Britain? My pre-
diction is that they will and that our
Republic viii prove to the world that
politics with us are only skin deep,
and that our statesmen rise above
party when a great moral worldwide
victory is within our grasp, am
not without some basis FOR the faith
that Is in me.
