UNITY Of POWER
ONLY PEACE PLAN
Former Ambassador to Tur-
key Says Militarists and
Pacifists Both Failed.

Charleston, S. c, Dec 15.-POinting
to the great war as proof that both
militarists and pacifists have failed
completely as protectors of peace,
Oscar 5. Straus, former ambassador TO
Turkey, declared in an address before
the Southern Commercial congress that
there must be an international recon
struction on an entirely different basis.
This world war is distinct proof
that neither pacifism without might
nor might unless dominated by right
can be effectual N securing a perman-
ent peace" said Mr. Straus- A war
such as this could never have engulfed
the nations had the international re-
Iationship and foundations been right
fully constructed.
Any future plan to be lasting, said
Mr.. Straus, must take into consider
alton the conflict between the two
schools. the one holding that might
makes right, and the other which de-
sires to place the entire international
system upon the basis of strictly moral
conceptions. and in so doing recon
struct international relationship, not q $
heretofore exclusively on the basis 81
war but dOminantly on the basis OF
peace"
