THE PEACE or THE NATIONS.
The Rev. DIR. Mcndcs's plan for Enforcing
u Win the sword.

To THE EDiToR or THE SvN--Sir: Your
report of my address. though practically
correct. conveys the idea that | suggest a
only action by our Government for the
creation uf an arhitral court OF nations.
what suggest is this. That in
every civilized country the voice of the
people be expressed in dgnliiei. un-
compromising way by every congregation
through its minister. every chamber OF
commerce. board OF trade. university. col
lege. trade union, order and brotherhood
through it, head, msmor.alizIng the
Ircsiien; or King, the Cabinet and the
Legislature OF It's nation to unite In form
ing an international court of arbitration.
But this court is Ia be- composed of the
three elements Indicated ny the spirit Of
the provisions Of the Book of Books for
AN ultimate court of appeal namely.
clergy. Jurists and expert. for this is
what priest. Lcvite and Judge, the express
.Ions used. really mean.
II religion means anything In human
life why shall not the clergy take part
in peace tribunal which assuredly
means human happiness Certainly the
clergy would temper justice with right
sousncss.
The provisions OF the court. only two in
number. would secure It's efficiency.
First. that all the nations bind them
iclves to submit every Casus belli to the
International court of arbitration before
drawing the sword.
Secondly. that all the signatory nations
bind themselves to declare war against
any nation refusing TO respect the court x
decision.
While our country may well take the
initiative. yet all countries should CO.
operate to form such court, impclled by
the voice Of the people expressed by their
leading church and lay organizations as
Indicated above.
Government OF the people. by the
people. for the people is to-day the highest
type OF government. The voice of the
people secured II.
The peace of the peoples of earth. at
tanned by the peoples. for the peoples OF
earth. will mean the highest type OF
happiness. Let the voice of the people
secure II.
Perhaps you can suggest how the
church and lay organizations can he

people. II I'EREiRA MENnEs

WAR AND INDUSTRY.
Encct Of the Check OF che Raw Material
supply-The Case Of the Manchester
Cotton Mills During our CiviI war.

In estimating the effect of the wal
upon this country one OF the mos
important questions is the degree e
which 1t may check the importation o.
raw materials for our industries. Nat
urally there will be considerable en-
barrassment. but there is no reason &c
fear any such disastrous conditions
here as resulted in the Lancashire cot
ton industries of England during the
civil war In the United States, and as Is
threatened once more in the same quar-
ter by the check of transportation for
our export of cotton.
The Manchester cotton famine was
the classic instance VI trade paralysis
and Wholesale pauperzaeion caused by
war. The imports of cotton from
America into England fell from
1.OOO.Oo0,000 pounds In 1860 to SOL
100000 in 1861. to 100000 In 1863
and to 100000 in 1864 As England
depended for three fourths of her total
supply upon the Southern States there
was cotton famine in the district de-
voted 10 that Industry, and at one time.
according to J. Watts, the historian OF
the subject as many as 4S5.434 persons
ordinarily living on the cotton mills
were supported by public or private
charity.
This country IS fortunate in the pres
ent crisis TO this extent that IL imports
relatively small amount Of raw ma
terial from Europe. one Of our princi-
pal crude imports. rubber and its sub
stitutes, originates altogether outside
the sphere Of hostilities, and If Ameri-
can or neutral bottoms can be found to

.PAPAG0 SPRINGS HAS
 BIG CROP THIS YEAR

Governor Hunt and Mulford Winsor returned yesterday morning from San ta Cruz county where they spent the week end at the PapagO Springs an- nual fair, held in the northeastern part of the county. There were fully a thousand people gathered there from that section alone and the display of fruits and vegetables raised under dry farming conditions is easily better than any shown in the state todate accord :ng to the information brought back.
 The little valley where this dry farming section is has enjoyed an eX- cellent year this year and in conse- quence there are plentiful crops in that section. The melons and garden truck were splendid, while the apples that were exhibited were as good as any seen here.
 Attempts will be made to get large presentation of this display at the state fair here in November as a part of the Santa Cruz county exhibit r is expected to be an eye opener to many people who do not know of the good country down there.
