JUDGE GRAY
TALKS PEACE
Member Of First Hague Tri-
bunaI Says Arbitration
Will End War
AMERICAS PART
In THE MOVEMENT

Judge George Gray addressed the
Young Friends Association in Friends
School last evening, on the advance
Of the international peace movement
and declared that wars can be pre-
vented by arbitration. Judge Gray
having been a member of the first
peace conference called at the Hague
Tribunal spoke from experience.
In opening his remarks Judge Gray
referred to the growth of the peace
sentiment in modern nations and
dwelt on the part played by this gov
crnment in the movement
Judge Gray said that it was par
ticularly fitting that he should talk
TO a Friends association on peace as
the Society of Friends had been de-
voted to peace for 300 years. The
peace propaganda, he said, had made
little progress until the middle of
the last century when at the instiga-
tion of American diplomats nations
began seriously to consider their DIFF
ferences, and he cited the Alabama
incident az the close of the Civil War
in proof of his assertion. Our coun-
try, he declared, presents a selected
rave WiluOub udNItuH anu mthdIlLH
neighbors and unembarrassed by ira
ditions to promote the movement for
peace.
The speaker said that the call for
first Peace Conference at The Hague
in 1899 was the result of earlier fer
ment in the United States for the sup
preston of war.
This conference he said promul-
gated three conventions which are
the basis for the work Of the peace
conference. The principles which
we're ratified by % nations were, the
right of nations to offer their good
Offices and mediation without such
action being interpreted as unfriend
ly, the authorization of commissions
OF inquiry consisting of neutrals C
ascertain the facts at the root of ma
I tional differences, and the creation o.
permanent court of arbitration
made up Of a panel of four judge.
/ from each nation participating in the
l'conference. For the determination
of any dispute five judges are select
ed from the panel and the case is lef
for their decision just as in a suit be
! tween individuals.
