settlement or disputes between na- tions.
 "'We. therefore. heartily welcome the proposal of NJ. Briand that France and the United States shall make mutual engagements for the "renunciation of war as an instru- ment of national policy"
 "'We believe:
 "I. That war should never again be resorted to by civilized nations as the means for settling disputes or enforcing claims.
 "'2. That war save for self de- fense against actual attack, should be outlawed and declared by the na- tions to be an international crime.
 "'S. That the renunciation Of war by treaties and solemn engagements should be undertaken between all the principal nations, adequate pro- vision being made for conciliation. mediation. arbitration. and judicial settlement.
 4. That such engagements con- stitute an essential measure in cre- ating the spirit Of mutual confidence which must precede general movement for disarmament.
 "'5. And that the settlement of every threatening dispute. whatever it's nature. must be bought only by pacific means.
 "'We therefore request our Pres ident and senate to respond prompt ly and favorably to the proposal of M. Briand. And we desire at the same time that it be made clear to other nations that the United States would be pleased and would hope to enter into similar agreements with them.
 "'We respectfully submit this ap- peal and earnestly hope for early and favorable action"
