The Military Problem.

The Military Problem.
The trustees then fully realize that
the time has not yet come In the world
to advocate the reduction, even, OF
ornaments. particularly In those coun-
tries whose development has been but
slow from dCspotic forms to free forms.
What then can bc attained by the
trustees in this all-important depart
mcnt of education but promotion of
friendly intercourse among
the nations?
The trustees look forward to pro-
noting the development in all the ma
tens OF the earth, and particularly In
those nations whose Institutions have
thus far had the dcspotic form. rather
than the free form of certain slow
working forces which make in the long
run for public prosperity and welfare,
and hence. for peace. Peace domestic,
peace international.
"Whac are these slOV-working
forces? Or some of thcm-time Will
not permit me to mention all
Education as Factor.
The. first is universal education,
universal throughout Il nation. For
men. for women. for children. of course,
hut carried far beyond the period Of
education which popular systems gem
orally contemplate.
Now, the next line of action Is the
promoting of peaceful. friendly inter
/ course between the various nations of
the earth particularly among those
which necessarily come into contact
with each other In commcrce. In trade,
in the development of the arts and
| sciences. II is, as we know, through
commerce largely that the nations of
the world have come to know each 9TH
! er little. The trustees of the Car
ncgic endowment desire to further all
means of friendly, peaceful intercourse
among the nations of the earth. They
believe just as between individuals,
! friendly intercourse, mutual aCquaint-
! anCc tend to promote happy relations,
, SO among the nations of the earth
I friendly intercourse, good relations viii
promote the common prosperity and
the common order and peace.
Value Of Free Thinking.
Again. the trustees of the Carnegie
! endowment for international peace
/ have observed that among the free ma e.
| lions of the earth there has been de-
vclopcd peculiar mode of action
within the nation itself which strongly
! promotes the acquisition by the people
| Of personal initiative and prevents too
| great and exclusive reliance on gov
crnmcntal action, and trains - large
! number Of men to administrative work
! In the public interest, and also dcvel-
ops among such people the spirit which
| In English II named public spirit That
! Is, u Willingness to devote private for,
, tunes and the labors OF private persons
to public uses This Is the great virtue
Of free men In those countries which
have long lived under free institutions
! II Is. Of course. a moral quality very
diniCult to develop under II dcspOtiC
government, or even under II govern.
