"The sword is still the sceptre of the monarch, the casque of the warrior his favorite crown.
 "Governments, instead of being the fountains of peace abroad and of happiness at home, tend to become instruments of misery and injustice in the hands of rulers. This state of things still prevails; for experience testifies that, if the law of war be no longer the fundamental law of Eu- ropean society, it is still the funda- mental law of their governments.
 'The interest and happiness of the people are hostile to war; and, if left to themselves, however, ignorant and uneducated, they would scarcely ever make war. Even the most ignorant states of society contain in themselves the elements of peace.
 "It is only through education. how ever, that the people can exercise Q wholesome control over their rulers who would have them engage in war. Education is the most efficient and lasting means for revolutionizing so- ciety. But the whole scheme of edu- cation must be in it's elements, prac- tice and influence, decidedly, un- CiidASSdOly pSdCclul
 Charleston An Example.
 Charleston, where clustering tradi- tions of the Old South have given birth to the highest ideals and ambi- tions of the New South. is most ap- propriate place for this great peace meeting of Americans. Here beside the tomb of Calhoun and under the protection of the modern guns of old Fort Sumter-here where the first shot of the Civil War was fired-will be celebrated the achievements of the reunited country.
 Looking back to the Charleston that was blighted by, the Civil War-to that city which the anger of war-mad- dened enemy laid waste-and compar- ing it with the Charleston of today which proudly points to the successful development of its magnificent, deep water harbor. it's great modern coal ing piers, splendid system of docks, and efficient Navy Yards. is found a worthy example of the economic re- mobilization that is building "A Great CT Nation through a Greater South."
 Charleston Of Today.
 In 1860 the population of Charles ton was less than 40,000-today it ex- ceeds 6O.000. The inbound and out bound commerce annually passing through the Port of Charleston reaches the total value of nearly $110. 900, 900; while the city's total banking resources approximates nearly $30,000.00 The manufacturing industries of Charles ton support total capital investment

sary. Clearly, there Is then such thing as the cooperative spirit for operation cannot long exist with out it.
 Basis Self-HeIp.
 European Governments have done a great deal for agriculture because they wanted many people on the land and wanted to raise their own food. European Governments today assist agriculture in many ways. Yet it re- mains true that in most of the Flu ropean countries to a considerable de- gree, and in some Of them to very great degree, the idea prevails that the Government shall simply help farmers to help themselves. In fact, in countries like Denmark, Holland, Switzerland and even in Germany, the great thought is that the people shall organize to do for themselves, what nobody else will do for them and what they, working as individuals. could not achieve"
 Humanity The Goal.
 The great Irish editor, George w. Russell, expressed the ideal of agricul- tural reform before this Commission in the following words:
 'I look myself to the social and hu- man results of this complete organ ization of rural life and industry as the best result. We should aim at creating a social order where the struggle for existence will give way to brotherhood of workers; where men, dependent on the success of their united endeavors for their own pros perity. will instinctively think first of the community and secondly of them selves. would say, indeed, all other movements, however necessary, are ex- ternal and hollow compared with any movement which deals with life itself and tries to create conditions in which ls hA .saspsAe4ar will be possih}-

and sets that before it as it's aim."
 Trade And Municipal Inyestigation

Trade And Municipal Investigations.
 The Congress has also conducted commercial expedition to Latin Amer lea that has helped in establishing ties of friendship and which made a prac- tical investigation of finance and com merce in the interest of the extension of American trade. It later assembled the American Commission of Muni ipal Executives which participated the International Municipal Congre of 1914. in London, and thereaft made an investigation of municip efficiency in European cities.

 AS a movement. The Southern Col mercial Congress sprang full groy l from the Southern Commercial Seer U taries' Association at the annual meet ing of that organization in Chat tanooga in 1908. which decided that there were certain conditions existing in the South and outside of it that could only be met by union of effort. and, further, that if such a union of effort did not exist State by State, throughout the South, then, without waiting forNthe slow process of grad ual unification a meeting should be held to declare that such union did exist. The organization was subSe- quently established in Washington on December 8, 1908, with the full dig nifty of it's name and it's purpose, and was incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia, July 21. 1911. The clear judgment of the men who started the movement is con- firmed by the fact that in seven years the words "The Southern Commercial Congress-" have become known throughout the nation, the influence of its efforts for union have been felt throughout the South. while it is now recognized as a practical force for @-~> h..'- ->~~ and abroad.

ably linked.
 "In Europe everyone seems to be interested in agriculture--govern officials. bankers, business men, as well as farmers. In other words, agricul- ture is looked upon as a great na- tional business, of so much importance that all thoughtful men must be in terested in 1t, not necessarily as land owners, but at least as students and helpers.
 "Fine, strong men have given their lives to the service of agriculture and country life. Some of these men are farmers, some government officials. some teachers, some men of leisure But that they are sincere is evidenced by their large following, and that they are efficient is shown by the success of the enterprises which they have de- veloped. All this is just as true in small communities as in the country at large.
 "It is generally admitted, however. that while cooperation has been, per- haps, the greatest single means of making the farmers of Europe pros- porous, education has also played a vital part.
 Hard headed business farmers in the United States may be inclined to think that agriculture can be de- veloped only on the principles of bar gain and of profit. Cooperation Is first of all designed to get advantages for the co-operators. It would be hypocrisy to claim differently. Tn Flu rope the key to the success of the cooperative method of doing farm business is to develop the CO., cooperative spirit that is, the willingness and desire to sink individual opinions and interests to such an extent that a group of men can work together for common interests. When this spirit is developed to q high degree it means a sort of loyalty and patriotism that leads men even to sa"rifiees w "-c.~-

Grimky's Birthplace.

Charleston, where tnlS great meet ing will be staged, is the birthplace
 of Thomas s. Grimky, one of Americas
 most brilliant advocates of peace, who helped to establish the American Peace Society in 1928.
 It was this son of the South who
 said in 1882 that, "The greatest ob jection to war is not so much the num- Der of lives, and the amount of prop erty it destroys, as it's moral influence
 on nations and individuals. It creates
 and perpetuates national jealousy, fear,
 hatred and envy. It arrogates to it. self the prerogative of the Creator
 only to involve the innocent multitude
 in the punishment of the guilty few. 1t corrupts the moral taste, and hard
 ems the heart; cherishes and strength
 ems the base and violent passions; de- stroys the distinguishing features of Christian charity, it's universality, and it's love of enemies; turns into mockery
 and contempt the test virtue of Chris tians, humility; weakens the sense of
 moral obligation, banishes the spirit
 of improvement, usefulness and benev-
 olence, and inculcates the horrible
 maxim, that murder and robbery are
 matters of state expediency" Law Of Violence. Among the many eloquent pleas for the abolition of war that this early
 citizen of Charleston uttered, Grimky's famous denunciation of the Flaw of violence is possibly of greater value today than when it was written nearly
 one hundred years ago.
 War" he said, lis the law of vio-
 lence, peace the law of love. But
 governments seem to be successfully
 organized only when strong for the
 destruction of others.
 we might imagine, If history at- tested not to the reverse. that an ex- pertinent of four thousand years would
 suffice to prove that the rational ends of society can never be attained by
 constructing its institutions in con-
 formity with the standard of war; but the sword and the torch have been eloquent in vain.
 "A thousand battlefields white with the bones of brothers are counted as idle advocates of justice and human ity. Ten thousand cities. abandoned
 to the cruelty and licentiousness of the
 soldiery; and burnt, or dismantled, or
 razed to the ground, plead in vain against the law of violence. The river, the lake, the sea, crimson with the blood of fellow citizens, and neigh bors and strangers, lift up their voices in vain to denounce the folly and wickedness of war. The shrieks and agonies, the rage and hatred, the wounds and curses of the battlefield. and the storm and the sack. scatter in vain their warnings throughout all lands.
 'As the ages have rolled away, how ever, society has lost it's military char acter but the administration of gov ernment and the spirit of rulers have remained the same. The people have changed, but the great. permanent in-
 stitutions of society partake not of the
 same new spirit.

 Work Of The Congress.
 The Southern Commercial Congress- the organization that is arranging for this meeting in Charleston, initiated the movement In the United States for the investigation of agricultural or ganization in European countries. The result was the assembling of the Amer ican Commission composed of sixty eight members, representing twenty nine states, the District of Columbia, and four Canadian provinces which made an investigation of agricultural organization in eighteen ct otries of Europe. Th.s work was accom mplished in co-operati n with the United States Commission, appointed by President Wilson.
 The evidence secured by the com mission has been published by the Congress of the United States and will be the basis of State and Federal leg islation in solving the p sblems, in a national way, of rural finance, pro- duction. distribution, and Organization. It is doubtful whether so much valu- able f1rst-hand material on the sub jects of agricultural credit and of agri- cultural cooperation in general has ever before been brought together. in any language, as in this volume of evidence"
 Useful Lessons.
 "No one lesson was Iaore fully learned" the report of this Commis- sion states, than that subject like rural credit cannot be divorced from other phases of the farm question. All the interests of the farmers are tied together and, indeed, his interests and the interests of all other classes and of the nation as whole are insepar-
