What Congress Should Do.

What stands out in bold relief Is the
unmistakable duty Of the American
Congress to authorize the President to
convey to neutral nations the desire of
this government for an International
conference for the purpose of promot-
ing by cooperation and through its
friendly offices the early cessation of
hostilities. the establishment of peace
among the warning nations Of Europe,
the clear definition Of the rights of neu-
trail nations and for the other purposes
to which have b.isdy adverted.
"Str. 1t were fo.iy to pretend that
the mere calling of the proposed con-
ference will end hostilities. But 1t is
little short of an international crime
for Congress to withhold from the
President the authority and the neces-
sary appropriation enabling him to act
as the occasion shall commend itself to
proceeding as may, in the providence
Of God, aid In bringing peace to the
nations now at war.
I'VE cannot longer avoid our respon-
sibility. The balance Of the world at
peace waits on this government. Neu-
trail rights demand a clearer definition.
Delay Is filled with menace
Shall we wait until other nations are
drawn into the struggle? Or shall we
and the neutral nations meet and make
articulate the protest of the peaceful
half of the worlds population-a pro-
test tempered by sympathy and afsec-
tion and reason, and yet so strong and
so persistent that 1t shall finally be
heard above the roar and crash Of the
worlds greatest war;

Action Of Venezuela.

I'm 1895 the Venezuelan government
took the same action in regard to the
Belgian and French ministers to Vene-
zuela when they were implicated In in
terfering in the internal affairs Of Ven
ezuela
John Bassett Moore, formerly coun-
selor to the State Department, in his
law cites many precedents tustifying
the exercise of governmental authority
such as Mr.. Carranza took in regard to
the Spanish minister to Mexico"
Hurried Conferences.
News that the Spanish minister had
been given twenty-four hours from last
midnight to leave Mexico. because he
is alleged to have sheltered de Case.
came to the State Department in ofi-
cial dispatches last evening. After hur-
ried conferences between Secretary
Bryan and the Spanish and Brazilian
ambassadors here Secretary Daniels of
the Navy cabled Capt. Rodgers OF the
Delaware to take Minister Caro- on
board and await orders. Consul Canada
at Vera Cruz was directed at the Same
time to look out for the minister and
give him every assistance possible.
Plans to Go to Cuba.
When Minister Caro- received Car
ranza's notice he Immediately prepared
to start for Vera Cruz, expecting to
sail from there to Havana to await
instructions from his government An
American warship will take him to
Cuba unless a merchant ship bound for
that country puts in at Vera Cruz
within day or two.
While Gen. Carranza in his note ex-
planned to the minister that no offense
was intended against the Spanish gov
ernment or people, the right of asylum
to nationals of a foreign government is
a long established rule, and the de-
portatton of a diplomat for granting
this right, it was suggested In diplo-
matte circles here. might easily result
in serious complications.
Refuse to Make Comment.
Neither Secretary Bryan nor Mr.. Riano,
the Spanish ambassador here, would COM
ment upon the incident Mr.. Riano said
h: had heard nothing from his govern
ment. and therefore could have nothing
to say as to what might be done. In Of
fetal circles 1t was intimated that while
the American government PROBABLY would
hold that the expulsion Of the minister
was matter between Spain and Car
rama, it might be the subject of q note
from Washington to Carranza pointing
out the consequences liable to follow sucn
actions
The entire diplomatic CORDS at the
Mexican capital has been In a state of

with the outside world. Some OF the
diplomats already nave suggested that
they be Withdrawn.

There are two or three propositions
which the highest authorities agree are
fundamental to permanent peace. These
I mention in passing.
The first. perhaps. is the limitation
Of ornaments. and the naturalization
of the manufacture of all equipment
and supplies used exclusively for mill
tary and naval purposes.
Another is the prohibition of the ex-
portation of arms, ammunition, artil-
lery, vessels Of war, armor plate, tor
pedoes, or anything used exclusively
for military and naval purposes from
one country to another.
The Secretary of Commerce reports
that in the month of November. 1914,
American manufacturers shipped to
England cartridges valued at $751;
235-amounting to 50,000.000 rounds.
1t Is estimated that one soldier is killed
or wounded for every thousand rounds
fred in battle. Hence in one month
we shipped to England enough car
tridges to kill or wound $4,000 human
beings.
'1t is revolving that we should en-
courage or permit traffic in arms and
ammunition by private capital for
profit with organized governments,
thus prompting selfish interest to in
fuence legislation Increasing appro-
priations in preparation for war and
furnishing incentive to intrigue in
domestic and foreign affairs to make
war market for private advantage.
