world. There is real sympathy for her condition.
 What are these prejudices? I will just name one or two, because they were all trampeled upon in the mem arandum of May Il. The first pfeJ1alcs we have in western Europe IS that you sell goods to a man you ex"ect to get paid for them. The second IS thlsi If you lend money to a man and he promises to repay you. you expect ne will repay you. The third is this: II YOU go to a man who has already lent you money and say will you lena me moreg he will say to you do you pro l pose to repay me what I gave you! | and you say, no, it is matter of princl- pie with me not to repay. There Is q most extraordinary prejudice Tn the western mine against lending more mor- ey to that person. It is not a matter of principle.
 Knows Revolutionary Temper. q know the revolutionary temper very well. and the revolutionary temper never acknowledges anybody wi1o has got principles unless he is a reyolntion- ary. But those prejudices are very 1 deep rooted they are ooted in the soil I of the world they are inherited from ages, let me give one word of advice to | anybody who does it Let him not | in that letter enter into an eloquent ex- position of the doctrines of repudiation | of debts. It doesn't help you to get 1 credits. It may be sound, very sound, but 1t isn't diplomatic.
 Europe is anxious to help. Europe can help Europe will help. but Rus sia must in her dealings with her ac- cept the code of honor which is an in- heritance, which has come to us from l centuries of generations of hard work ing, honest people and which has struck deep into the soil of the world. Not even the Russian tornado has split one fibre of a single root off those prejudices upon which our systems depends, and 1 as friend of Russian peace, as friend i of cooperation with Russia. as one who Is in favor of going to the rescue of those great and gallant and brave peo' pie, I implore the Russian delegation when they come to us at The Hague moi to go out of their way to trample upor these deep-seated sentiments.
 "At Cannes we threw out the life line and we have not yet drawn it in, as | I thought we might. Neither has il been snapped neither has it been Tel 20. It Is stiii there. We. would like tc draw all the distressed, all the hungry all the suffering in the east of Eurort back to life. with all the health thLe tht accumulated energy and skill of othel
 lands can give them.
 Peace Among Warlng Nations.
 We have signed a pact of peace. I
 is d provisional one. Is it for months
 An, mo- it is more than that. We hav'
 decided upon peace amongst warrinI
 nations and once you establish 1t na
 tions are not going b + on 1t.
 "We have decided to ssye peace
 trial upon our hearthstones, and whel
 she has been there for several month
 we will not turn her out again. Tn
 psychological effect upon the peoples Q
 the world will be electrical The bril
 of peace has gone through the veins o
 Europe and you are not going to ge nations lifting up hand against nation again There has been nothing nor
 striking at this conference than the dee
 and passionate desire not to have r0p
 ture not to have quarrel but to live i
 peace and auity all together. Believ
 me, peace Is recovering her gentle swa
 over the hearts of men, and in this con
 ference, by this pact we have adopte
 today we have paid homage to he
 sceptre.
