Peace Due to Understanding.
Repeating the old text. Greater
love hath no man than this. that he
lay down his life for his friends" Sec.
retary Davis said:
MANY of us imagine that the long
peace that has existed between us Is
due to treaty, now nearly 10 years
old, for disarmament on the Great
Lakes. That peace Is due not to the
treaty, but to the spirit that led to the
treaty. It Is due not to a formal bond
of agreement, but to the closer bonds
OF friendship.
True peace comes from the heart.
That treaty provides for naval dis.
armament on the lakes; but it is silent
about other ornaments and concentra-
tons Of forces on the shores Of the
lakes and along the land frontiers.
Yet there have been no permanent
ornaments anywhere along the border.
Where there Is will to peace, no
formal agreement is necessary: when
it is lacking upon either side. treaties
and conventions often become vain
gestures. 1t requires only one to make
war, but two are necessary to make
peace.
Neighbors Most Friendly.
North America is the dwelling
place of two of the most friendly
netghbots of ancient or modern times.
Our common frontier Is probably more
frequently crossed by the neighborinc
Inhabitants than any other frontier In
the world.
THE young men who crossed the
border and enlisted in the Canadian
forces during the World War are the
latest and most precious Offering upon
the altar Of our mutual friendship.
They are dead, but their spirit lives,
oementing more closely the bonds Of a
friendship of over 100 years stand.
