To Make War in tho Future Impossible.

To Make War in tho Future Impossible.
Editor Nirginian:
sir~-When this present deplorable IN
Europe Is ended. let the United States call
conference OF the nations OF the wtrid, and let
every nation, both large and small send dele
gates to this conference TO discuss ways and
means to secure worldwide peace.
At this conference let the United States pre-.
sent plan something like the following:
First~--That every nation disarn
Second--rhat each nation elect judges to con-
stitnte permanent court settle all differences
between nations.
Second-That each nation contribute money
TO be used by this court In maintaining army
and navy to enforce obedience TO its decisions.
\ Short Defense of the Above Plan.
The main virtue Of the above plan possibly
lies in the provision that every nation Is to
surrender lite right to declare war, and will look
for its defense To impartial court in which
II has representatives.
Let 1t be observed that this plan cornpre-
nends the application Of the same principle to
the nations today that applied to the colo

mon enemy forced us TO have common interests
and had not been forced to It we never
would have formed a union. To come into the
union, each colony had to surrender its right
to maintain army and navy. and look to
Washington for It's defense. The colonies. es-
pecially some of them. were very reluctant to
forego these rights and enter the union. but
experience has demonstrated that IL liz very much
better to be in a common Union with common
interests, common rights, common sympathfes
and common purposes than to have thirteen
little republics here and each one making guns
to shoot the other and each one maintaining
burdensome army and navy with which to. des-
troy the other. fYou remember that England

nized each colony independent, sparately)

into a Union at first thought may appear great

vicinity the Spanish ambassador said
several Spaniards had been killed.
