clar that -our rlshi nculrala have

Thla definition of tho effect of the
war upon neutral led him to tho con
clusion that "inasmuch aa neutral
have to suffer, ncutrala will have to
be consulted before nation ro to war.
-Uur Interests to prevent war are
greater than ever before and the c
riflrea that we must make should b
greater than ever."

)1 dwelt upon tb possibilities of
de-irtlnc from th "safe and wise

He evplsined then the plana and the
principles of the leracu to Knforce
-eace. lakins up the four lnts one
st a time.
He laid em;hsls on tho fsct that the
pros-ramme rails for no radical depart
ure from al practices among nations
and won lauchter from hla audience
when he declared:
rerrr.an.nl Institutions require no
radical r!iJti.-. However. I don't like
to bvfin with a premi.e that la apt to

Th UJghter wa even more general'

11 took occasion hr to point th
error on Uladtone celebrated refer
ence to the American Constitution that
! wa th "most wondrfnl document
ver struck off by th mind of man."
-Il was not struck off." asserted Mr.
Taft. "but It was a natural develop

He emphasized the lao distinguish

edge of the stage, with hi hands fol
ed behind his back, as h expounded at
length on th position that the Su
preme Court representing; the Judicial
branch of the tJovernment holds In re
lation to the several atates.
II pointed out that the disputes be
tween th atates ar not settled by any
written law. but by the broad theory
of International law
II cited tha anclrnt dispute between
Connecticut and Pennsylvania over
possesion of the territory Including a
part of the famous Wyoming Valley In
Pennsylvania, and th controversy be
tween Kansas and Colorado over ri
parian rlghta In the Arkansas Klver. as
example cf how questlona between
states can be amicably adjusted with
out written law.
11 drew the conclusion that in sim
ilar manner questions between nations
can be settled.
lateraatlaaal I-av Explained.
"International law." he explained, "is
not a cod enacted by any particular
persons, but is adopted lists) tb com
mon law by acquiescence."
In similar manner, lie proposed, ques
tions at Issue can be settled by th In
ternational court as outlined by the
leacu to enforce peace.
II differentiated betwetn Justiciable
rases, that are subject to aettlement by
Judicial proceedings, and nonjustici
able cases that are not subject to such
settlement.
The non-Justlclable cases, ha ex
plained, ar to bo settled by th pro
posed court of conciliation, the same as
th I'ntted slates has settled numerous
grave queationa that have arisen be
tween it and Its neighbors.
In thia connection be held up the
glaring example of the t'nited States
and Canada In preserving peace be
tween them for more thnn 100 years
without a single fortification on tbe
International boundary line
He referred also to the numerous dis
putes that have arisen between the two
countries which at the time threatened
war. but which subsequently were
amicably adjusted.
' fair Play Desired.
"If we go Into an arbitration coun
cil to win every time." he asserted,
-wo tnlpht as well stay out.
-Arbitration, to be effective, la one
where you stand to lose and stand by
tb gam.
-Healthy arbitration l when one aide
doesn't like It- When both aides Ilka It,
the chances are that ther baa been a
weak compromise.
"Those conditions hav prevailed In
the relation between the United States
and Canada, W ar In a position where
we can't Imagine war. International
relations, after all. are formed largely
b yhablts of mind.
-nl the awful retrospect that will fol
io wthe present war people will look
forward to some other means of set
tling their International dlf ferences.
Wsr will be revolting.
"All tills argues for conciliation. If
the licue between Austria and hervia
had been submitted to a board of con
ciliation we would not hav the world
conf.ict now raging. Franc did not
hav the sllchtest Interest in the dis
pute: Kneland did not hav the slight
est Interest In It, They permitted them
selves to b drawn Into It through
treaty alliances or through entente cor.
dial."
ieeker After War t Pay Penalty.
These declarations led him to an em
phatic argument In favor of the third
provision of the lesgue's progrsmme
that which would make It obligatory
upon all partlea to the agreement to
take sid -s asalnat th "one recalcitrant
member who persisted In bringing on a
war with another."
An to response to assumed opposition
to tho fourth provision an interna
tional congress to extend International
law ho asserted emphatically:
-I am her to advocate th af
firmative of It."
He answered posslbl charge that
such a court would seek to govern th
world through laws developing from Its
own derisions by th forcofully ex
pressed assertion:
-I am not afraid of Judge-mad law.
I am not afraid of th term. Judge
mai law. It la the bst law we have.
It la made by reconciling th crud ef
forts of the legislators who don't know
what th law Is.
"If w have a league of peace, such
a court and the decisions of such a
court will b more psarcful.

from the situation abroad.
"We must not allow ourselves to get

not."
Th train had already beftun to move
and th last words were shouted out
over the heads of the passing: crowd
In a dramatic fashion.
"Make your representatives go to
Washington and vote the money neces
