MR. TAFT PLEADS
 FOR ARBITRATION Appeals to Moral Sense of
 the Nation POWERS OF SENATE
President Declares That Senate Has Every Power in the World En-
 abling It to Commit Itself to the Treaties

Mountain Lake Park, Md, August 7.- President Taft travelled so0 miles through Maryland and West Virginia today by special train to appeal to the people of the United States to use their moral influence to have the Senate ratfy the British and French arbitration treaties, and the trea ties with Nicaragua and Honduras. His appeal was made directly to the Mountain Lake Park chautauqua of the Methodist Episcopal church. but in it the President included the rest of the na- tion ss we'll
 'I observe" said the President. that there Is some suggestion that by ratifying ti:is treaty the Senate may in some way s.bdicate it's function of treaty making. confess myself unable to perceive the treaty in any such point.
 ''To have these treaties not ratified by the Senate of the United States or to have any hesitation and discussion of a serious character in respect to them would halt the movement toward general peace which las made substantial advance in the last 10 years. To secure the ratification of the treaties, therefore. appeal must be made to the moral sense of the nation, and while that is not entirely in the keeping of the churches, certainly they may ex- ert a powerful influence in the promotion of any effective instrumentality to secure permanent peace"
 Leaving the arbitration treaties behind, the President asked for that same sort of popular support of the treaties with Honduras and Nicaragua.
 There is no issue before the Senate so acute in respect to the cause of peace as the confirmation of the ques- ton of the Central American treaties" said the President.
 While l admit the greater import ance of universal treaties of arbitra- tion in the long run. and as affecting the world at large, yet in respect to American interests, in respect of peace in this hemisphere, there is no equal in importance to the confirmation of these Central American treaties"
