La Grande, Mar. 1. (To the Ed
itor) In these days of wars and
rumors of wars naturally the question
of universal - peace comes up, and I
suppose practically every thinking
person has his theory as to just how
we should go about it to establish in
ternational peace.
Now the theory I am about to ad
vance is very old, that is part of it is,
and part of it I have added to from
my imagination.
In the first place it is no. more
right for a nation to war with each
other than it is for two individuals
to fight. We .have city ordinances in
all cities of the world forbidding- in
dividuals to enter into fights for the
purpose of redressing wrongs. If
they do they are fined. They are
"pinched" if you please. ' And when
the offending party comesinto the
Municipal court the judge sentences
him and the fellow immediately ob
jects, ne says, "Well this other man
called me a liar and said I owed him
$10 and if I didn't pay it he would
take it out in hide.." So what could t
do but light? The iudee savs. "Wfcll
it makes no difference, you should
have taken it up in court."
Now those are the fundamentals of
every tight or quarrel, let it be be
tween individuals, cities, counties,
HtAtpR fv nfltinn. Rt.f ..mII
I - ............. U V JU J i vw.t
if we tried to tell a nation to go to
iuw aoout it, wnat court would have
jurisdiction. '
The question is this: Each nation as
it exists today should send a judge
who is elected by the people, to the
international court, these judges, one
each from each nation, to sit as the
international supreme court. Now
suppose Austria says Servia through
her agents, has killed one of my dukes
just because I said I owned certain
territory bordering on the only sea
outlet I have. Well then it is the
duty of Servia and Austria to each
select her lawyers, her witnesses and
her evidence In exhibits and go before
the international court, there to be
given evidence and questioning the
witnesses,' that Austria shall pay $2,
000,000 to Servia as indemnity and
shall in addition pay all court costs.
Well you say, supposing Austria
says she will not do it and immed
iately picks up arms against Servia.
Well a court of course must have the
necessary sheriffs to carry out the
mandates of the said court. So each
nation of the world sends 10,000
trained troops down to Austria to
levy an execution-on the property of
Austria and first takes charee if her
customs and gets tho fine and pays it
wj oervm. iveu u Austria ODjects then
the thousands of. sheriffs take her
arm.v and put them on the rock pile.
Now each nation should donate so
much money to this sort of universal
court and head of government for
which to buy ships, ammunition, sup
plies, etc., for this vast army. Then
in timeR when business was slack the
army could be put at work on great
international roads, soendinir so much
(time on each nation, dividing it up. -.
. . Now of course the nations would
