DISCUSSES PLANS
FOR WORLD PEACE
Dr.. FenWiCk Sees Difficulty
in 0utIaWing All But "De-
fensive" Wars.

Means of furthering international
friendship as a factor in world peace
were outlined in a subcommittee re.
port by DIR. Charles G. Fenwick, pro.
fessor OF international law at Bryn
Mawr College. Pa, at the morning
session of the two-day meeting of the
Catholic Committee on International
Peace, at Rauscher's.
Dr. Fenwick, in presenting the re-
port, VoiceH a number of personal
opinions and experiences. but said
that the report of the subcommittee
itself would be merely a presentation
of facts entering into the furthering
of international friendship, without
opinions on controversial questions.
Commends Bryan Treaties.
The speaker commended the pur-
pose of the Bryan treaties, which. he
said, did not pledge a country to arbi-
trate. but provided that the disputants
would wait year pending investiga.
ton of controversy before taking ac-
tion. Wars generally are brought
about, he said, because public feeling
is whipped up to a high point of ex-
element. He expressed the belief that
if nations waited a year to investigate
the likelihood of going to war after
that time would not be great.
DIR. Fenwick discounted the sugges-
tion that it would be possible to out
law all wars except those of de-
fensive nature, unless by some ar
rangement whereby nation would
let some one else decide whether hte
war was defensive in character.
Two,Day Session Ends Today.
