auspices of the League to Enforce Peace,
to consider q program for permanent

league Of nations to become effective at
the close of the present war, a desire to
take part in the formation of such a
league. Letters from Switzerland, Spain.
and Denmark, in answer to inquiries
from Theodore Aiarburg, chairman Of
the committee on foreign organization
of the League to Enforce Peace, were
read. The favorable answers from the
neutral nations follow closely upon the
reply of the Entente Allies to President
Wilson In which 10 of the "A countries at
war Jointly declared: They associate
themselves with all their hopes, with
the project for the creation of a league
of nations to insure peace and, justice
throughout the world
DR.. Hoffman. head of the political de-
partment of Switzerland, in behalf of his
government. Endorses the efforts Of the
League to Enforce Peace. as follows:

Berne, Dec. II, 1916.
Mr.. Chairman:-You have been so good
as to address to US, through the instru-
mentality OF our Minister at Washington,
from w. H. Taft. former President of
the United States, letter signed by you
and enclosing various documents con-
corning the League to Enforce Peace
1t is with very great interest that we
have taken note Of the program of your
humanitarian movement. In asking US
to associate ourselves in 1t you have
given us a new proof of the sympathy of
the United States for Switzerland and
we desire to say to you how much we ap-
preciate it.
The League to Enforce Peace. which
counts among it's members so many emil
nent personalities, aims to insure the
maintenance of peace after it shall have
been concluded; truly delicate mis-
sion but the difficulties Of which are not
to be allowed to discourage your efforts.
You regard as one of the most efflcacious
means to that end a treaty of arbitra-
ton conceived in the same spirit as to
that treaty of Feb. IS. 1914, between
Switzerland and the United States, a
treaty which all the countries are to
sign and by which they will undertake
to submit to the decision of q supreme
international tribunal the conflicts which
may arise between them in order to
avoid as far as possible. return of the
catastrophe which desolates the world
today. Switzerland is SO much the bet
ter placed to appreciate the work of
which the United States has taken the
initiative because. surrounded on all
sides by war, because, peopled by the
race and inheriting the language and the
culture of three among the combatant
nations. she is better able than any
other country to realize the fact that war
is inhuman and is contrary to the supe-
rior interest of civilization which is the
common patrimony of all men.
If, then. at the conclusion of peace, the
occasion should present itself for US TO
unite our efforts to yours. we will no,
fail to do so, and We will be happy to
make our contribution toward renderine
peace more secure when re-established
Accepting, Mr.. Chairman, the assur-
ance of our very distinguished considera-
ton.
