WAR MIGHT HAVE BEEN
PREVENTED IN EUROPE
Premier Asquith Said to Have Com
mented on Value Of Pan
American Union.

That an organizat tion in Europe, such
as the Pan n-American Union, might
have done much to avert the European
war was the opinion quoted from Pre-
mier Asquith by John Barrett, director
general of the Pan-American Union,
before the Columbia Historical Society
at the Shoreham Hotel last evening.
Mr.. Barrett said he had received a
letter from Winston Churchill saying
that at an informal meeting of mem
bers of the cabinet, at which various
discussions of the European war had
been held. Premier Asquith had made
the observation that If there had been
d pan-European union at one of the
capitals of that continent such as in
the Americas the great war might
have been averted.
One of the most important steps in
the history of the western hemisphere
was taken last Wednesday, according G
to Director Barrett, when the govern
ing board of the Pan-American Union
publics the action of seven govern
ments in recognizing the de facto gov
ernment of Mexico.
Action Comes as Climax.
ut was the climax in a. steady de-
velopment of practical pan-American-
ism which has been going on for a
hundred years." said Mr.. Barrett ITO
be moro specific, the resolution adopted
py the twenty-one American republics
through the vote of their diplomatic
representatives in Washington and the
Secretary of State of the United States
was the most advanced position for
pan-Amer1can solidarity and PAN
American unity of interest which has
been taken since the declaration of
the Monroe doctrine in 1923.
Although -Americanism has come
to the front with a rush during the
last few years, it has played an i'm

The resolutions further set forth that
the high school curriculum in music
should be advanced enough to allow
graduates to enter a college with a
credit of one unit for their musical
education.
Making the work in the homes of
farmers more attractive for the women
and girls and thus aid in their uplift

In the present crisis in American history when we are in vOlved in dispute with Germany, be cause Germany has murdered Ameri- can citizens, when we are facing a sit uatiOn of anarchy and domestic strife at home, Colonel Roosevelt is the one American who has, without hesitation and without thought of the political effect of his words, spoken frankly"

 You are absolutely right when you say, as can be said about no other American Of the same prominence. He is a patriotic, loyal aggressive Ameri- can. He has from the beginning of his life stood consistently and sturdily for an Americanism which is the natural outgrowth of the Americanism of l775 and 1861. At all times. under all cir Cumsta nceS without hesitation and without qualification, Colonel ROose- welt has championed, fought for, served an ideal of national honor which came down to him from. other generations of
