BRYAN BELIEVES HE
HAS ABOLISHED WAR
Says His Treaties Will Make In
ternatiOnal Conflicts AL
most Impossible.
SENATE URGED TO ACT
Wilson to Recommend Ratifica-
tiOn Of Agreements at Pres
ent Session.

WASHINGTON. July 25.--In a statement
given out to-day Secretary of state Bryan
declares that the plan OF the peace
treaties negotiated by him. two Of which
have been sent to the Senate for ratlfca-
ton. was endorsed by the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations and that It 10
desired by the President that they be
ratified by the Senate before adjournment
OF the present session of Congress.
These treaties ought to make war
almost impossible" Mr. Bryan declares.
The essential feature OF the treaties Is
that they provide for impartial investiga-
ton OF all disputes not settled diplomatic
cally. hostilities not to be begun by either
side until the investigating committee
has made its report The investigation
may be undertaken by the commission
on its own responsibility and 1t must
report to the two countries within
period of not less than one year after
the investigation Each government is
free to act as II deems best. the COM
missions report having no binding force.
d. an all our arbitration treaties" says
Mr.. Bryan, there are certain exceptions.
and in most OF these treaties the excep-
tions are the vital interests. the indepen-
dence and the honor OF the contracting
States and the interests OF the third
parties
at lis evident that these arbitration
treaties do not prevent recourse to hos
tilities with .rNard to the causes included
in the exception clause. II Ia the inten-
ton Of the treaties to close this gap and
leave no cause for a declaration of war
until there has been an investigation OF
the differences BY leaving the parties
freedom OF action when the investigation
is over II IL possible 10 make the investi-
cation cover all the causes
ct Is believed that an investigation will
not only give time for the subsistence Of
passion and the restoration OF calm and
deliberate Judgment, but that It will also
be useful In separating questions of fact
from questions Of honor. These treaties
ought to make war almost impossible"
FIVE Of the treaties sent to the Senate
contain n provision that the contracting
parties will not increase their armament
or military preparedness during the
period OF investigation except when one
Of the parties Is menaced by n third. upon
reporting which II may be released from
the agreement.
The treaties sent to the Senate were
negotiated with Salvador. Guatemala.
Panama, Honduras. Nicaragua, Neither
lands. Bolivia. Portugal. Persia. Denmark.
Switzerland. Costa Rica, Dominican Re-
public, Venezuela. Italy. Norway. Uru-
quay. Brazil Argentina and Chile A
treaty has been signed with Peru. but
has not yet reached here from Lima.
Texts of similar treaties with France and
Great Britain have been agreed upon.
while China hs.s announced her readiness
to sign one OF the treaties.
