Michigan To Work

suggestive and not executive. All of
the Hague agreements have been ig-
nored in the present conflict because
they were not sufficiently binding to
prompt any non-combatant country to
take up arms for the purpose of un-
dertaking their enforcement.
Agreement that will Bind.
Under the Worlds Court Congress
plan, it is suggested that the United
States, at the close of the present war
submit a proposition which will carry
with it a provision to enforce the
judgment of an international court
with armies and navies, in the same
manner as national, state and munich
pal laws are at present enforced by
the executives of the nations, states
and municipalities.
1t is the plan of the Michigan Fra
ternal Congress to arrange for the
discussion of this enforced peace
movement in every county, every pre-
cinct and every lodge in the state.
The fraternalists of the state have
working committees in every one of
the three thousand voting precincts
in the state, and the fact that they
carried all but forty-eight of these
precincts at the polls, at the last state
election, in the defeat of a proposed
amendment to the constitution indi-
Gates that the body has the strength
to push this movement with vigor.
