The great aim of the present admins
tration is its foreign policy, he averred.
The one thing to which Secretary Knox
and President Taft were bending all their
energies is the establishment of perma-

iudication. It's members are to be chosen
by International agreement. employed as
international servants supported by inter-
national contributions, taking among the

that there are grave difficulties in the
way. but he did not consider them in
surmountable, and he believed that the
plan would be accomplished.
To secure it might not do away at once
with war; but il would render it more diff

Asks for Explanation.
Mr.. Mann asked Mr.. Borland to ex-
plain how the retirement fund was to
be raised.
1--WE cannot tell how much money is
going to be received from gifts or
legacies. You cannot count on any
from the unusued balance at the end
of the fiscal year. You can count on
small amount. only few thousand
dollars. from the tuition of non-resi-
dent pupils. The great source of this
money is the contribution of 1n per
cent of the pay roll OF the teachers and
the deduction of salary. ranging from
1 per cent on the young to = per cent
on the older teachers. That amount
will furnish a fund sufficient to dis
pose of the pressing cases year by
year and possibly, after few years,
leave g. surplus"
How can you figure out" asked Mr..
Mann that there will be enough in
this fund to pay those retired teachers
when the amount contributed by any
teacher plus the amount contributed
by the government shall equal one
years salary in thirty-three years?"

Mr.. Borland Replies.

The government" replied Mr.. Borland.
will contribute approximately one-hall
of this fund, which is estimated in the
neighborhood Of $4,000. Then like
amount of 22,OOO will be raised from the
deduction from the teachers salaries.
Now, $4,000 would retire forty-four
teachers at $1,000 a year"

is talking about today. There is no actu-
airy in the United States who will say

money to be contributed under this bill

Mr.. Mann asked Mr.. Olcott how much
was the balance in the last fiscal year to
the credit of the appropriation to teach
ers' salaries which was turned back into
the Treasury. Mr. Olcott said he didn't
know.

Country Leads in Arbitration.

The nineteenth century is characterized
as the great international century-in
which this movement for the betterment
of international relations had practically
its inception. From the famous Jay

the present time. the United States has

national adjudication of all International
isagreements.
, This last movement Mr.. Foster said, is
the new peace movement. He outlined
the progress made at the Two Hague con-

matters the smaller nOn-maritime notions
