 SESSION
RESOLUTIONS FAVOR CElEBRA- TON OF AMiTY BETWEEN
 THE NGLlSh-SPEAkING

BALTIMORE. Md. May > - The chief feature of the program today al the third national peace congress was the report of the committee on resolutions which was scheduled for presentation at the clCse of the af- ternoon meeting.
 One of the resolutions indorsed the Anglo American arbitration treaty and calls for it's ratification. An other asks that Congress pass such acts as will make the government hold each state responsible for any outrage committed upon the person or property of foreign subjects with in it. Still another resolution ap- proves the proposed celebration of the one hundred years of peace be- tween the Englishspeaking nations and will pledge its support to the movement.
 Al the forenoon session, Dr. r lyenaga, a native of Japan, and a professor in the Chicago university. spoke on Peace in Asia" pr. Iyen- aga said that what vitally concerns Papan is the continuation of peace in Asia and secuted the idea of war between Japan and the United States.
 New Peace Propaganda.
 The Newer Propaganda for Peace" was outlined by Prof Sam nel T. Dutton of Teachers college, Columbus university. Prof Dutton said in part:
 Tt si evident that the hour has arrived when the gospel of peace must be widely and earnestly preach ed Doubtless many influences are working for the establishment of perpetual peace. There will be, un- less all signs fail no more racial wars Again, there are to be no more religious wars. Wars of races and religion having passed it can be shown that nothing remains to cause war except national cupidity or some fancied insult of national honor
 Thus it can be shown that war has no place in a system of modern justice and that the time is rapidly approaching when the conscience and reason of the world will demand that tNtls uISlJult " lld SOcNtl Slldll bt settled in a court of arbitral justice
 Will Emphasize Carnegie Plan.
 The new propaganda will inter- pret and enforce the idea of a league of peace so often urged by MT Carnegie and clearly stated by MT Roosevelt in his Christian address Reduced 10 it's simplest terms, it means that while nations may em- plOy force to suppress disorders within their borders, unlawful con duct on the part of any nation af fecting other nations shall be taken in hand by an international league.
 Another theme which has not re- ceived the attention it deserves is the moral and social influences of conscription. It is not difficult to show that it is out of harmony with the doctrine of individual lib- erty, it does not encourage but SuppresSeS true patriotism. it par takes of the nature of slavery which the Christian world has abol ished
 Among the newer propaganda is the possibility of extending the principle of the naturalization of territory to keep pace with the ad- vancement of public opinion in the direction of unity and cooperation" !"
 Suggests Better Neutrality Laws.
 John w. Foster, former secretary of state, and one of the foremost authorities on international law, de- clared that the principal lesson of the present conditions on the Mex ican border was the need of better neutrality laws Mir. Foster sug- gested three notifications which, in his opinion, the present laws should undergo.
 First Some restriction should be placed upon the free commerce and munitions of war and power should be conferred upon the pres ident to limit or suspend, in his direction, their export across the border in time of disturbance or in sulrection.
 Second - It should be made un- lawful for Americans to enter the military service of any power or chief at war with nation with which We are at peace It was the personal aid of Americans that gave strength 10 the Canadian re- bellion of 1888, to the insurrection in Mexico, and to the recent civil wars in Nicaragua and Honduras.
 Third Greater power should be conferred upon the president, in time of civil disturbance on the frontier, to limit or prohibit inter- course across the border, to prevent the abuse of our territory by for eign conspirators, and in his dis erection to enforce martial law on our soil within the zone of the dis. turbance"
