CARNEGIE ENDOWMENT
~. FOR INTERNATIONAL PEACE.


ciated for some years I'm the eYecn.
ton OF trust TO promote interna-
tional peace and our duties have In
vowed a continual survey OF the Of
lorts to that end throughout the
world.
we wish to say to all friends of
peace that the dreadful war now
raging Affords no Just cause for dis.
:ouraBement, no discrciit 10 pant Of
forts, and no reason to doubt that
Stti greater efforts In the future NAV
be effective and useful. S.1i
The, war itself Is teaching tho pos-
pei or peace through a lesson so
shg7k.pg and SO terrible Ahat the
most Indifferent can not fail 10 at
Tend and understand it. ~ ass;

life, the devastation and the sur !.
ing In the warrfng countries pai I
all experience, but the cessatfnT n
production, the closing of markctsl
The blocking Of trade routes, the IN
terrsraen OF exchanges, have az.
feeted industry and caused ruin and
t2yerty In all the peacefuI countries
Of tho world ~; .tl,t ts5' ? iIi'lfE7
The universal interdependence OF
nations has been demonstrated and
me y sfath sorGed npon ascfy mind
snat me peace OF el! nst!ons Is the
vital concern or every nation. =.
TO cast our weak protest now
are urging on the great conflict would
be futile; but the end of this war
will come before long and then the
great question will stand for answer:
Shall the LESSON be forgotten; the
sacrifice lost?
That question the bellgerent ma
tons only will have the power tn
answer; but every one in the world
Will be entitled to be heard upon II.
Sor 1t will be question OF ciyiliza-i
{ion. tho most momentous OF our era.
1t seems incredible that after this
the stricken people viii Get their feet
In the same old paths OF policy and
suspicion which must lead them
again to the same result. ~ n
!, FINDING expression through q great
multitude of voices everywhere the
general public opionion 0e mankind
should influence t'ie minds of the
neEofiators who settle the terms of
peace and Inspire them TO d new de-

While We must not be oyerconfi4
dent OF our indivldHal quaiificat.5Is
to point out the detailed methods
through which the result may be ac-
compiished, we may still advocate
measures which seems practicable and
appropriate to the purpose
We can see that definite rules OF
national conduct should be agreed
upon: that court OF competent jnr-
II ch 1.r. -
Judge OF national conformity 20 those
rules; and that new uanctions should
be provided to coni5el respect for.
the judgments rendered. h
Above all the motive md gnfrit or
the new institutions should be clearly
and fully, noE the promotion OF ana
hilton or the extension or power, but
the safeguarding OF human rights and

Toward this high end the courage
and hope and conviction or the
humblest citizen OF the most distant
land may contribute. ~ s9.S,
