even more essenalat tie Peace Conference, so that 0th
sympathy for all and e0ith malice to the right kind
Of peace is eaborated and it should be clearly under
stood that peace will be lasting in Europe or any
where, unless it is based on Justice.
Yes, the helping hand of America the moral coOpera
ton of the United States is Indispensable at this menor
able meeting counerac and destroy the noxious
influence Of Old World intrigue and preJudlces ana Anne
RIGA who always big enough to handle any situation
that came within hex scope will certainly be great
enough at this supreme hour to play her role as guardian
of civilization the guarantor that the future inter
course between the different members of the family OF
nations to be based the good will and sincerity that
= become civilized beings The United States going into
the Conference with clean hands and purity OF purpose
have right to demand leadership among the members
of that counc and great nation will certainly make
full use of it's tremendous opportunity.
Rancor and hatred will fill the air when the great con-
yention opens centuries OF intrigue and jealousy make
the European powers mistrst each other 1t will be the
privilege of America to clean that poisoned atmosphere
make Europe kindly but clearly understand that this
is not going to be and ordinary peace confe
renee but broherly agreement by which every one OF
the signers whether weak or powerful will be accorded
Justice and equality. Let not the ambition OF some OF
the greedy disputans turn the convention INTO regular
peace conference sowing thereby the winds for tempest
at distant dae let not new Germany be created at
this solemn hour.
Europeans, we wish to remark without meaning Of
fense anybody, apt to smile ncredulousy when we
Americans speak to them about disarmament; they sim
ply raise their shoulders otherwise show their con-
tempt when we happen to suggest an court
"man the leader Of nation that place on the field an
"army OF fifteen million soldiers. This is what most
counts with people from the other side president Will
son has behaved splenddy he is an dealls ne IS ths
che is that; BUT to explain our average Euro
disarmament arbitration, WE don't see how
sthat be accomplished You have got to understand
"OUR history, OUR politics." etc.
That is exactly the point. The average European, be-
fore the United States decided to go to the of civil
lization regarded Americans, North and South, as too
crude to comprehend the refined and subtle mind of Eu
CHI cn!G
deed we Blood and yet this is exactly what Anne
must do at this supreme hour to nfuse NEW spirit
ua blood into old Europe to make her understand that
the times far advanced for playing rotten, secret
politics. We candidy believe that universal dsarma
is possible, that international Court of Arbi-
traon with sufficient power to enforce it's decision, can
exist in human world. We must make Europe realize
that the coming meeting is going to be REAL PEACE
Conference, and not regular peace conference and
that in order to obtain REAL SUCCESS, to make of this
world decent place TO ue n the only spirit that should
Dresde at the peace conference the spirit of JUSTICE
