MOHONK LAKE, May 24.-The first
announcement of the plan scope
of the Carnegie Endowment for Inter
national Peace, with the appointments
of directors of two of the divisions,
was made here today by DR.. Nicholas
Murray Butler in his address as pre-
siding officer of the Lake Mohonk Con-
ference on International Arbitration.
DIR. Butler also predicted, with au-
thority," the establishment of the In

Or. Butler said:
1T has beer determined by the trus-
tees of the Carnegie Endowment to
organize the undertaking committed
to their charge as a great institution
for research and public education and
TO carry on its work in three parts
or divisions-a division of international
law, a division of economies m
and education. Otherwise stated,
these three divisions will represent the
j~uristic, the economic and, broadly
speaking. the educational aspects of
the problem of establishing an interna-
tional judicial system competent to
hear and to determine all questions of
difference arising between nations.
InteruntionaI Law.
"The division Of International law
will be under the direction Of Profess
sor James Brown Scott. whose serv-
ices at the department of State. at the
second Hague conference. and in con-
nection with the American Society and
Journal of International Law, are too
we'll known to need specific
ton. This division will promote the
development of international law, and
by study, by conferences, by aiding ne
gotiations and by publication, and will
assist in bringing about such a pro-
gressive development of the rules of
international law as will enable them
to meet with constantly growing ade-
quacy the needs of the nations of the
world in their ~juristic relations toward
ZACH other.
Division of Economics.
1.-THE second division of the work of
the Carnegie Endowment will be the
Division of Economics and History. 1t
will be under the dire ton of Profes-
sor John Bates Clark, of Columbia Uni
v~ersity. With Professor Clark will be
associated a score of the worlds lead
ing economists. England. Germany,
France, Italy, Austria-Hungary, Swift
erland, Holland, Denmark, Japan, the
Argentine Republic, and ,ther nations
will nave a voice n a part in for
mulating the problems to whose solu-
ton this division. will address itself.
and in working out the solutions Of
those problems.
1T will be the business of this divi-
sion to study the economic auses and
effects of war; the effect upon the pub
lie opinion of nations and upon inter
national good will, of r~etali~tory, dis
criminatory and preferential tariffs:
the economic aspects of the present
huge expenditures for military pur-
poses; ana the relation between milf
tary expenditures and international
well-being and the worldwide pro-
gram for social improvement and re-
form which is held in waiting through
lack of means for it's execution.
