PLANNING NOW FOR
WORLDWIDE PEACE
British Program Goes Further
Than the Proposals of
Taft's League.
POWERS TO BE INDEPENDENT
Nations Outside the League
VIII Be Under Restraint by
Powers in Compact.

Correspondence OF The Associated Press)
LONDON, May 1O-The British
plan for a League to Enforce Peace,
as drawn up by a committee headed
by Niscount Bryce, former American
ambassador, has Just been made pub
lie here, altho it was prepared two
years ago, thus antcdating the plan
of the American league. 1t goes fur
thor than the American plan in pro-
Viding means to enforce decisions
upon aggressive and recalcitrant
nations.
In a prefactory note to the outline
of the British scheme, Lord Bryce
says:
"The frightful catastrophe Of the
present war, involving more than half
the human race and bringing grave
evils in neutral nations also. has
driven thOtful men to reflect on the
possibility of finding means by which
the risk of future wars may be dis
PEELED or ut least largely reduced. The
only effective and permanent remedy
would be to convince the several peo-
pies OF the world that they have far
more to lose than to gain from strife,
and 10 replace by a sentiment of mu-
tual international goodwill the violent
national antagonsms that now exist.
But this. We may well fear, would be
a slow process.
Meantime that which may be done.
and which ii seems possible to do at
once is to provide machinery by and
thru which the volume of interna-
tional public opinion which faVors
peace may be enabled to express it
self and bring its power to bear upon
any nation in which there may from
time to time exist a spirit Of aggres-
sion or a readiness to embark on war
i'm pursuit of selfish interests or at
the bidding of national pride.
THE nature of the machinery re
quired is indicated by some facts
which this war has brot out in strong
relief. These are:
The Element of Time.
First. the increased risks to peace
that arise from the increased speed
with which communications between
governments meditating war are eX-
changed, and with which momentous
decisions are taken.
Second, the difficulty neutral ma
tions find in ascertaining the merits
of n dispute which has led to war,
and thus in Judging between the dis
putants and throwing to one or other
side the weight of their opinion.
Third, the gigantic scale on which
war is now waged, compelling gov
ernments, in order to secure them
selves from sudden onslaughts, to
maintain naval and military arma-
ments incomparably larger than ever
before, and thereby laying intoler-
able burdens on the peoples.
THE machinery needed to meet
these conditions would seem to be:
"First. the prescribing of a certain
period of time within which steps
could be taken to settle a dispute
amicahly before a resort to arms.
Second, means for ascertaining the
facts and clearing up the issues In dis
pute so as to facilitate the forming
