STOOD FOR HUMAN LIBERTY
Jean Jacques Rousseau Had Right
Conception Of Conditions That
Made for Freedom.

Prof Kenneth Colcgr0ye OF Syra.
cuse university declares that world de-
mocracy is the sole basis Of world
peace. Writing in the Worlds Work
h. says:
In the year 1913, when the amhassa-
doris Of the European powers were en-
gagged AT the congress OF Utrecht In
bringing 10 close the War os the
Spanish Succession, the Ahhe de Saint
Pierre was writing the final pages az
his little treatise called the Project
for Perpetual Peace" lie proposed

OF Europe, with congress or diet OF
ambassadors whore all disputes be-
tween the different states should he
settled by arbitration. and whore gen
ernl rules should be adopted from time

the pence and welfare OF each and
every rralm. Rousseau criticized the
ahhe's plan. declaring II contained one
flaw. flaw which vltiated the other
wise noble plaH. He believed thnt n
confederation OF European states
could never be formed 50 long as
kings and princes ruled. For the es-
sence Of kinGShip was nothing else
than the passion to extend It's domin-
ion without and It's ahsoutiSm within;
