said that If the proposals Tor con-

the peoples concerned "in the opinion
OF this government it would be a hap

portant' advantages would accrue
through the united effort in the field

this great source of disturbance and
unrest finally may be removed. We

cannot fail to recognize that these
lofty conceptions can never be real
