ARMS REDUCTION
/ HELD AID TO PEACE
Frank B. Kellogg Also Urges
Educated Public to
Prevent Wars.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, August 28.-Re-
duction Of land and naval ornaments,
extension of arbitration for settlement
of international controversies and an
educated public opinion were advocated
last night by Frank B. Kellogg, former
Secretary of State, as supplements to
his anti-war treaty to make more eff
fective the abolition of international
conflicts.
Speaking over radio Station WCCO.
MIR. Kellogg declared that the treaty,
which has been signed or adhered to
by 50 nations of the world. has already
exerted powerful influence for the
maintenance of peace and expressed
the hope that in time the people of the
world would accept the pact as the uni
versal standard of conduct of nations.
He predicted that all nations would
ratify the treaty.
Looks to Future.
"There may be sporadic conflicts be-
tween nations" the former Secretary
said. 1T is. perhaps, too much to eX-
pect that perpetual peace will come to
the world Immediately. But If the
treaty has large restraining influence
on nations, it is not too much 10 hope
that great world conflicts like the last
war would be avoided and in time the
people of the world would be so imbued
rations of this treaty will become uni
versally accepted as the standard of
conduct of nations"
Mr.. Kellogg termed the treaty a
"high moral and solemn declaration"
to which he would suggest no change,
but said many things can be done to
strengthen and make ii more effective
in the abolition of international con-
flicts.
First" he said. "there should be an
educated public opinion. 1t was the
public opinion of the world which made
the treaty possible. 1t will be the pub
lie opinion of the world in support of
its high principles which will make it
effective.
Extended Arbitration.
