This resolution further provides court, or the adaptation and use of one if already existing. as a judicial substitute for war. This is but the crystallizing of an idea first put forth by an Hebrew lawyer of Chi cago, Salmon o. Lewison. Esq. in an article under date of March g. 1918. The whole scheme contemplated may be summarized as follows:
 "1. Declaration of our interna- tional policy by passage of this reso- lution to be followed by similar par liamentary declarations by other countries.
 "2. A conference Of all civilized nations to execute a general treaty for abolition and outlawing of war, "3. This conference to call con- vention for creation and codifica- ton of international laws of peace, declaring, amongst other provisions, was to be a public crime, but ac- knowledging right of defense against invasion.
 "4 A judicial substitute for war in the nature of an international court. "5. National armaments to be reduced to lowest point consistent with domestic safety and reasonable international requirements.
 "6. Submission of this code to referendum of each civilized nation.
 '7. Every nation by agreemen or treaty to bind self to punish own international war breeders or insti- gators or war profiteers.
 This proposition has been made in all seriousness and has now 10 its enthusiastic support such we'll known and highly regarded think CTS as Professor John Dewey of Columbia, Owen D. Young. Hon, John H. Clark, former justice of the Supreme Court, Prof. J. T. Shotwell and Hon. Lloyd George. In his speech of acceptance of the repub- lican nomination August 14, 1924 President Coolidge said I, person. ally, should favor entering into covenants for the purpose of out lawing aggressive war by any prac- tical means Simple and innocent as 1t may seem, therefore, we have ! here something that can we'll com.

killed in war. which Is allowable. he must be killed by a clean, smooth bullet, not by a dunn -dum bullet. These regulations are denominated in the code rules of humanized war fare certainly a title with bit or grim humor to it.
 "In our indignation at the enor- mites of war we are wont to ex- claim that war is a crime. But that is exactly what war is not. War may be hell. as per our own Gen eral sherman, but it is not crime. All this of course, is merely to say that war holds place and room in our national and international body politics as necessary and legal. All legal and moral advantages are oI. the side of the militarist. That Is why patriotism is so deeply involved with militarism. becaA Sc it is regard for and devotion to the law. Pacl- fism-using the term in its finer and broader meaning-is heresy. How then can there be any sure, or even reasonable hope of doing away with war by tinkering with and trying to improve a political and legal sys- tenn that Is already and thoroughly committed to war?
 How To Outlaw War.
 The following resolution has been recently presented to the sen- ate of the United States:-
 Resolved. That it is the view of the Senate of the United States that war between nations should be out lawed as an institution or means for the settlement of international con- troversies by making 1t a public crime under the law of nations, and that every nation should be encour- aged by solemn agreement or treaty to bind itself to indict and punish it's own international war-breeders or instigators and war profiteers un- der powers similar to those confer red upon our Congress under Article K, Section 8, of our Federal Consti- tuition, which clothes the Congress with the power to define and punish offenses against the law of nations" [.
 Resolved further, That code of international law of peace based upon equality and justice between nations, amplified and expanded and adapted and brought down to date, should be created and adopted

nations have violated solemn treaty obligations. Rarely also have treaties been dependent on force, for obviously it would otherwise be useless for small and weak nations to enter into any treaty with powerful nation.
 This will also have brought the treaty nations to an agreement to submit all contentious to an inter national court, which would be of greatest possible significance since there Is no record of any nation. when once 1t has agreed to arbitra- tion. having refused to accept the decision as binding.
 War Result of Vicious Policies
 This treaty for outlawing war would be submitted to g referendum Of the people of each party-nation and 1t would seem unlikely that the people. who must fight the wars and suffer all their horrors, would ever vote for war. Wars almost never have come by movement of large bodies Of people-certainly not in the modern era. They have usually been the result of vicious policies Of selfish and scheming leaders. The peoples of none Of the contending nations were responsible for the late war. It was forced on the world by a few men. Had the peoples of the various nations been consulted and been given the real facts Is 1t to be supposed that they would have de- clared for war? If left to the peo- pie to decide there probably never would be any war.
 '1n spite of much that has been said to the contrary this pro- posed plan for outlawing war Is not in opposition to the World Court nor the Lea que of Nations. The World Court and the League are machin- cry for adjusting national differ ences. The proposal to outlaw war is move to revise international law. It would be a distinct aid to both Court and League. The World Court should find its powers increased

mand most earnest study. It follows the road along which society has moved to the control or elimination of all sorts of evils.
 Dueling Frowned Upon
 Time was when dueling was looked upon as honorable and a proper, not to say legitimate. way of settling disputes. Gradually senti- ment rose against this practice and at last became so strong that duel- ing was declared a crime. That end ed it. Not that there was no more duelng. but it was done under cover. The practice was outlawed and the institution of dueling passed out. Slaveholding was at one time law full. The courts so recognized 1t. But with the passing years a strong public sentiment grew up against 1t and 1t was made crime. That ended it. Not that the race problem Is solved. There are doubtless still acts of peonage. But Of slavery there Is none. The institution is dead"
 Dr. Hill cited the United States supreme court as an example Of an international tribunal which "has given decision in settlement of 87 contentious between soverign states, and never has there been violence of any sort in enforcement of these decrees. They have invariably been accepted as binding.
 Tt Is proposed then that the United states government invite the nations of the world to declare that war Is a crime. Such an invitation would, it would seem. be difficult of refusal. because to refuse would be tantamount to declaring In favor of war as permanent institution. Nor could the issue be evaded on the plea of the right of self-defense since the right of self-defense is specifically provided for. If there fore nations could be brought tc treaty declaration on this, a very long and positive step will have beer taken. For rare indeed are the tn' stances, we are assured. In which

and its jurisdiction widened. The League would be more firmly es- tablished than ever. As testimony to this is the fact that Honorable John Bassett Moore, who now sits on the World Court, has given the weight of his reasoned approval to this idea"
 The ministers engaged in lively discussion Of war after pr. Hill con- cluded his paper. All were agreed that the movement to outlaw war is practicable and timely although diff ficult. Steps leading to creation of favorable public opinion in New Britain were considered.
 The ministers present were: Rev. William Ross, First Baptist church: Dr. George W. c. Hill. South church; Rev. Raymond N. Gilman, Stanley Memorial church; Rev. Theodore A. Greene and Rev. War ren NJ. Blodgett. First church; Rev. M. W. Gaudian. St. Johns Lutheran church; Rev. William H. Anderson, Trinity Methodist church: Rev. L. F. Aston, A. M. F. Zion church; and Ensign Carl Frederickson. Saliva tion Army.
