II all states were in the same condition during the time necessary, to prepare weapons such a long period would eiapse as to render it possible for friendly intervention, with a view to avoiding conflict
 Finally the whole world, in addition to the suppression of obligatory mili- tary service should proclaim the prin- clpie that no head of a state either emperor or king, or the president of a republic, should have the right to de- clare war without first consulting the people, preferably through a referen- dunn or at least through the parliament.
 "Conscription is one of the hideous burdens of a free people. both as re- gardine financial expenses and per sonal liberty, besides being an inevi- table war breeder. Thus we saw Aus tralia rejecting conscription by refer endum, although the feeling in Austra lla for the mother country was most loyal. Perhaps even England. the United States and Canada would have refused conscription if the people should he consulted through a referen dum. The law which introduced it for the duration of the war provided for it's suppression immediately after the con- clrsioo of peace"
 Cardinal Casparri concluded:
 ''lt is now evident that in the present conflagration there is no question of victor and vanouished. no question of absolute military successes which nc group of helligerents seem able to se- cure over the other but the question is to find an equitable solution of satis- flying the people of both sides with a view to avoiding graver catastrophes of social and financial character.
 The war must end through our me- diation or the good offices of other neutra's. The objection made by Pres ident Wilson is easily overcome as the reople of the central powers as well as those of the allies are ready and willing to give all guarantees for the fulfill ment of conditions leading to a just and lasting peace"
