tire Christian world. All sorts Of con-
ventions could be arranged for at that
time, he said, and it is not now too

following so far as practicable the
plans so successfully operated in Eu-
rope and under the necessary restric-
tions to insure safety.
The committee on foreign relations
recommended the establishment of
free ports in the United States, in or
der that the farmers might receive the
greatest benefit from the Panama ca
nal, especially such ports at both ends
of the said canal, and congress was
desired to take prompt action to Sc
cure the establishment of such ports.
1t further expressed approval Of Presi-
dents Wilson's course in the Mexican
situation, and the secretary of the ma
tional grange was instructed to wire
the president that the national grange
indorsed his position in the Mexican
matter.
The following officers were elected:

The committee on international
peace favored the Endorsement of the
advanced thought and plans of Secre-
tary of State Bryan for arbitration
treaties between the United States
and all other nations, and especially
that phase of such treaties as requires
a year of consideration on all matters
of international difference by wisely
selected arbitration tribunals before
any effort is made toward any other
than peaceful settlement of the ques-
ton in dispute. The committee also
favored the holding of the third Hague
in 1915, and that it should
provide for the obligatory arbitration
Of all international disputes which can
not be settled by any other specific
methods.
The grange declares that the roads
needed first are those which put the
farmer in close touch with the trading
renters and enable the producer and
consumer to reach each other quickly,
lnexpensiveiy and easily and save the
farmer much money in the cost Of .
haulage and enable the consumer to
receive a share Of the benefits, and
