Senator Root So Says in Urg-
ing Intelligent Leadership
and Education.
ADDRESSES PROFESSORS
OF INTERNATIONAL LAW
Monroe Doctrine Upheld by Law
maker and C. F. Adams-Many
Universities Represented.

More than half the wars Of the world
have come because of mistaken opinions
as to national rights and obligations,
and the thing most necessary for the good
of the United States in its foreign rela-
tiops ts that there shall be intelligent
leadership of opinion on such matters
No one can bring this about so well as
the educators of the country
This was the statement of Senator
Elihu Root, president of the American
Society of International Law. at the
opening of the conference this morning
at the Willard Hotel of professors of in
ternational law, which is being held in
connection with the eighth annual meet
ing of the society of international law
which began its sessions last evening.
Matter Of Patriotism.
'~rhe placing of instruction in inter
national law In our educational institu-
tions on a broader basis. and the making
It Of greater efficiency is not mere mat
ter of book learning, but of patriotism.
continued Mr. Root. More and more is
democracy coming into its own More
and more is the man who wtelds the PICK
or shovel assuming the direction Of the
actions and operations of governments
More and more Is an intelligent response
looked for from such men on the most
difficult and intricate foreign questions
THE democracy Of the world Is real
izing its rights. however, In advance
Of its duties and that way lies disaster,
hideous wrong and the destruction of the
vitality of the principles on which dem
ocracy depends.
There is no duty today more insistent
on the men of broad knowledge of inter-
national affairs than to make themselves
truly the leaders of the people"
Following his opening address Senator
Root turned the chair over to Judge
George Gray. one of the vice presidents
of the Society of International Law. and
the conference Of educators turned its
attention to the specific questions it in
tends to take up.
