BRYAN HAS A PEACE PLAN
discusses Limited Arbitration
with President Taft
From The Tr'sua, Bureau. I


"shington. April president .raf, H..
cuSsed the peace movement with William
Jennings Bryan at con~idarshIe lorvth
to-day. and In general terms tho arb,,ra
uon treaty with Great Britain. now In proy-
reSs ~, negotiation Mr. Bryan wrote IN
'ne President some tine ago suggesting the
advisability OF urging. in any csse ,vbare
nation was unwilling 20 commit itself 10
me broad proposition Of arbitratio OF all
international disputes. a treaty providing
Tor limited mediation along the lines OF
'aoor legislation which has been enacted
notably in Canada.
This plan would provide that in the event
~ deadlock in diplomatic negotiations
the nations unable to reach an agreement
should submit the question al issue to an
impartial tribunal. extending to such tri-
ounal every facility for determining the
facts and equities and requesting IL to sub
NIT a recommendation as to the proper and
Just method OF settling the point at issue
The recommendation however. should not
be binding on either party 10 the dispute
and possess no force except its moral in
nuence. II would further provide a fixed
period after the submission Of such recon-
mendaton before either nation took steps
TO compel by force any concession to it's
views
Because OF the somewhat pessimistic
Views regarding the practicability OF the
universal peace movement recently ex-
pressed by the German Chancellor Mr.
Bryan suggested TO the President the ad-
visibility Of bearing his suggestion in mind
in any negotiations which may ensue with
nations which are not prepared to so TO the
length Of the general arbitration treaty be-
ing negotiated with Great Britain.
The President showed considerable in
terest in Mr.. Byran's suggestion. although
he did not commit himself, beyond assent
ing TO the proposition and saying shat
such an agreement would be a gratifying
step in the direction of obvisting resort TO
arms by nations which become involved in
serious controversies
Mr. Byran spent about an hour with
President Taft and met the members of
the Cabinet He would not discuss the
availability of prominent Democrats for
the Presidential nomination in 1872.

The result was that Philadelphia
