LONG STEP TAKEN
TOWARD SECURING
INTERNATIONAL PEACE

Rome, June 15.-(Correspondenc
step towards international commercial
peace through better individual rela
ticns ard through perfected laws made
at the recent conference in Rome of
the international Parliament Of Com
merce, according to Eugene Bale. the
general secretary. Said Mr. Bale:
"All The nations now allied against
the Central Empires were represented,
save the United States, and believe, in
response TO our invitation, the United
States will be represented in our next
conference at Paris in October, ar
ranged especially for the new Amer
lean members.
With the United States, Great
Britain, France, Italy, Russia, Japan,
Belgium. Portugal, and others as mem
bers, these nations allied in war are
strong enough to secure world wide
acceptance and enforcement Of the
idea Of economic union.
The organization was founded at
Brussels in 1914 just six weeks before
the war, for the purpose Of securing a
unification Of the international Jaws of
commerce. and the war has strength
the orga nization does not propose to
disturb existing custom laws or tar
ifs, but to unity and rearrange. IN
particular. the rates Of railroads and
Of steamship companies for interna-
tional commerce and to DESTROY arbi-
trary rates established to favor certain
countries or classes of commerce. The
Mittel Europa Nirstchaft Verein. the
result Of patient and concerted efforts
toward an economic ideal. has shown
us the power Of commercial organiza-
ton"
While the International Parliament
Of Commerce limits its present activ-
itios to obtaining full recognition by
governments and to the unfication Of
railroad and sea freight rates, six
committees reported at Rome on these
particular commercial reforms deemed
necessary;
First. laws relative to false labels on
goods, misleading as to quality and to
country Of origin.
Second. the need of adopting in all
countries Of uniform specific tariffs,
instead Of the al valorem tariffs, as in
tho United States. which. It was
claimed. lead to confusion and fraud
Fourth, the urification Of weights.
measures, and money standards by the
uso Of tho decimal system. thus sim

Since tho war the Interna tional
Parliament If Commerce has assumed
tho character of an organization IN
tended TO make possible the domino
ton after the war of the Central En-
rires by the countries now allied
against them. Put the only direct wal
