impressed at the State Department just
after war was declared when the
United States received requests from
the fighting nations to take charge of
their embassies and legations. We are
looking after the foreign interests Of
more than half the world. and We are
the sole medium for diplomatic COM
munication. When such grave re-
sponsibility rests upon our govern

Oscar T. Crosby. of Fauquier County,
Va, graduate of West Point, civil engi-
neer, capitalist globe trotter and peace
advocate, ended the dinner in n speech
for universal peace. Mr.. Crosby de-
clared: IF I today We're writing tho
statutes l would appropriate 500. 900. 900 at
once for preparations for war on land
and sea. but the appropriation would be
with the proviso that II, before the
money was spent. an international court
was established. backed up with an army
and navy to settle disputes between ma
tions. the unexpended balance Of that
great sum would go toward the upbuild-
ing of the nations court Of peace.
IF two citizens get disorderly a police
man stops the fight. II the policeman
can't do it the city comes to his aid. and
II the city fails the State steps in. II
the State fails the nation steps in to
restore peace for the sake of the nation.
Why not got a step farther. and when
two nations get disorderly ler the whole
world step in and restore peace for the
sake Of the world"
