quoted, but in the following earnest
effort is made to reproduce his opin-
ions as he expressed them.
Arbitration will surely come as the
means of settling international dis
putes. Disarmament is incidental 1t
will follow as a matter Of course and
has no part in the movement. The re-
alization of arbitration will make ar
mament useless and when it is nse-
less. it win disappear. The way to
dispose Of armament Is to provide
some means Of settling international
disputes without the use Of armament
When that IL accomplished il win be
time enough to think Of disarmament
The first step is the formation Of
an arbitration treaty with Great Brit
ain. The favorable manner in which
the suggestion has been received in
England speaks well for its early ac-
complishment The faYofSble en-
dorsement in France is another indi-
cation that the time is ripe. When
several big nations get together with
such treaties, then the others will OBJ.
serve how the new system works and
all will come in. The matter win be
taken up Immediately. Secretary OF
State Knox and Ambassador Bryce
probably will exchange ideas and the
treaty win be worked out so that ii
may be submitted 10 the senate at the
earliest possible time compatible
for careful consideration.
Il is right that the United States
should take the first step in this
movement The hearty response
with which the plan has been receiv-
ed is an indication Of this. While the
exact details are in formative state,
they viii soon be worked out
The arbitration treaty must not be
confused with an alliance. 1t dis
tinctly is not an alliance. 1t is an
agreement between two nations to set
tie disputes arising between them and
would have no bearing whatever upon
a dispute between one Of the parties
and third power.
The present prize court is the first
5eyidence Of the general movement to-
ward worldwide arbitration. The
settlement of the Newfoundland fish
cries dispute between the U. S. and
England at The Hague was one of the
most important events of the present
time. A dispute that had been stand
ing for years. was disposed of with
the exception Of certain details which
are to be worked out by joint com
mission.
The prize court will be developed
into an arbitration court and it will
represent the modern method of deal
ing with international affairs. The
immediate. and at present, the all i'm.
portant step, however, is the accom-
plishment with an arbitration treaty
with England An effort will be made
TO have it ratified at the coming ses
sion of congress. Then viii come sim
liar treaties with other nations as rap
idly as circumstances permit.
/ With such treaties in effect between
England, France and the United
States. the great purpose would be
near accomplishment and the resi-
would come as a matter of course. II
is an actual, practical proposition
that promises realization
