FACTS WILL BRING PERMANENT PEACE


Owen d. Young, member of the committee Of
Experts which formulated the Dawes plan and
saw it through to successful conclusion, is contn-
ring his voluntary work in the interest OF world
peace and prosperity. Mr.. Young is now pres-
dent OF the Board of Trustees of the Endowment
Fund to be raised for the establishment at Johns
Hopkins University of the Walter Hines Page
School OF international Relations.
These Trustees are seeking 81, 100000 from the
American public for the establishment of this
school-the first of its kind in the world-an or
ganzed unit for research and for scientific develop
ment of facts in the field of international relations
1t is the belief of these trustees that only by such
practical steps can future international msunder-
standings be averted. In address on this sub
ject Mr. Young said:
1--WE desire to outlaw Not SO long ago we
desired to outlaw the yellow fever. We desired to
outlaw typhoid We desired to outlaw diptheria.
We desired to shake off the enervating shackles of
the hookworm. The plague and yellow fever, ty-
phod and dpthera, the hookworm and malaria
are outawed in the world today. You all know the
dramatic story The patient research work in his
laboratory, seeking facts, building theories and
testing them by experiments showing not only

$50 with war. 1t is not enough to have gov
eminent departments of administration. 1t is not
enough to have an industry of foreign relations.
We must supply science, systematic body Of
things known if we desire to make our aspirations
for peace effective. Our is ignorance. Facts
are our scarcest raw material. This is shown by
the economy with which we use them.
ga great body of information must be created
AMI modified in some single place about all the
other questions which affect international rela-
lions. The men who do this research work will
become experts in international problems Some
of them will continue their service in pure research
as life career. Others will be teachers of the
science Others will be drafted into the Govern
ment service. The Page School WILL therefore,
achieve three things. First, it will develop sci
ence of international relations. Second it will
ascertain the facts so far as they can be found on
any particular problem, and third, it will produce
a continuous growing body of men trained in that
science and available for service in the fields of
education government and business. Our contacts
with the world at every point should show more
conductivity and less useless sparkling.
I'VE invite associates and partners. Let no AM
erican who has desire for peace in his heart fail
to contribute the practical tools to make peace
an accomplishment. We should like subscriptions
to be widespread-a share in the enterprise costs
each man what he afford for such purpose
and his share is equal to that of every other Some
day the list of stockholders will be presented to
the President of the United States with the re-
quest that it be filed in the permanent arvhices OF
the Department of State as evidence of the desire
and intent of the American people to aid their gov
eminent with a science of international relations.
That is to say, by a systematic body of things
known about the complex causes of goodwill and
illwill between the nations of the world"
