AVerted.
By the Associated Press.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, July 10
The fact that nations refuse to dis
arm completely proves that they con-
template wars in the future, Frank
Wickhem of Sioux Falls. S. Oak.
president of the Young Democratic
Clubs of America, told the Institute
OF Public Affairs today.
J. Kenneth Bradley of Connecticut,
chairman of the Young Republican
Division of the Republican National
Committee, said that the final achieve
ment of peace will be the result of
long years of education and constant
struggle by thoughtful men and
women to bring a proper understand
ing of the great problem and its So
luton.
Wickhem said there would be other
wars for the simple reason that all
the nations of the world are not yet
at the stage where they sincerely de-
sire peace more than war. There will
be wars because the nations of the
world are not yet willing to pay the
price of peace.
Can't Force Peace.
Peace can never be forced upon
the world he continued. "Interna-
tional law, peace pacts neutrality leg
islatfon are all good as far as they
go, but they will never prevent war
unless the public opinion of nation
v,Ir Lot l>,
peace be maintained"
The speaker said there are a num-
Der Of nations in the world 'perma-
nently committed to the philosophy
OF peace In those countries public
opinion, the people themselves, are
definitely in favor of peace. Those
nations at the same time are well
able to defend themselves against az
gression.
World peace" he said, will come
by the widening of this circle of ma
tlons, strong enough to defend them
selves, but in each, public opinion
crystalized in favor of peace
Bradley declared that sincerity in
international relations today means
that the people must be fully in
formed and correctly informed by
their own governments concerning all
those things affecting foreign affairs
Formula For Neutrality.
I'VE have still long way to go,
even in the United States" he con-
tlnued, before We can say that the
people enjoy the confidence of their
own government in its relations with
other governments.
The speaker said IF We are really
sincere in our opposition to war, we
should be willing to commit ourselves
IN advance to like set of rules to
govern the conduct of our foreign
affairs in the event of an interna tional
crisis.
I'VE must have neutrality formula
that is mandatory so far as it is
humanity possible to foresee the needs,
that has been prepared in advance of
the time when it is required
Such formula can deal with the
subject effectively. 1t is not varied
nor swayed by the will of any in
dlvidual nor by the subjective whim
OF personal likes and dislikes. We
must extend the present neutrality
law to the fullest extent.
Equality of Treatment.
1--WE should provide a mandatory
cash and carry provision for all
commodities other than munitions
and should take every other step that
can be taken in advance to provide
the rules to govern our foreign policy
IN time of international crises when
foreign nations are warning with each
other
Miss Doris Stevens, chairman of
the Inter- American Commission of
Women, told the institute there is
reason to rejoice in the pledges by
the American States in the direction of
equality Of treatment for women and
IN the measures they have taken to
translate this democratic principle
into practice.
