There has been In our diplomacy
one more outstanding aspiration. We
have constantly sought to substitute
judicial for military settlements of
disputes between nations.
The genlsis OF this idea dates from
the discussions over the Federal or
ganization OF our 10 original states
which were almost as Jealous of their
sovereigntics ar are the nations Of
Europe today. The first great step
toward the League OF Honor. which
we hope will at last bring peace to
the world, was taken when our IL
States agreed TO disarm and submit
all their disputes TO the high tribunal
OF the new federation.
And this idea OF an inter state
court. which except at the time OF
our Civil War has given this Nation
internal peace. has profoundly In
iuenced our foreign policy. or our
efforts To bring others TO our way OF
thin king. an historical resume was
presented by our delegates nj the

was submitted there for the founda-
tlon OF world court. And few
