' I believe that its influence will grow slowly but steadily land that each resort to its decisions will tend to form land strengthne the habit of lookiug thitherward to settle international difficulties by an appeal to reason instead of by an appeal to arms." An equally important utterance on the subject was that of Dr. Trueblood, secretary of the peace society, who after citing the Venezuelan arbitration and the Alaskan award, recounted the treaties of arbitration concluded between Great Britain and France, France and Italy, Great Britain and Italy, Holland and Denmark, Great Britain and Spain, France and Spain and France and Holland. He concluded by saying: "The movement which led to these treaties has not yet spent itself. France is in negotiation with a number of other governments, some of them in South America, for similar agreements.

CANT COMPETE WITH RUSSIA. m smmm Standard Oil Company Has Found Its Waterloo. George Welse, In July Success. It may be Interesting to know that i within Russia's domain the Standard OH Company is meeting some of the most serious opposition of its long life of plunder. This giant truxt supplies over 90 per cent of the foreign demand for oil. It has competed with the large oil interests of RusBla, which are con trolled by the Rothschilds and the Nobel Brothers, but It has never over powered them. This is due to Russian laws regulating foreign trade Interests. The Standurd OH Company controls the export price everywhere In the world except within the limits of Russian territory, where competi tion has not been stifled. Russia Is Just as rich ln petroleum products as Is the United States, and but for the power of the Standard Oil Company they would be supplied to America by Russian producers. Russia protects her oil industry by a 200 per cent tariff; the United States puts oil on the free list. The czar is not responsible for this state of affairs. The power of the Rothschilds carried It into effect. These astute financiers pictured to the bu reaucracy the Infinite horror of an American trust slowly eating its way Into the very center of public recogni tion by supplying a staple commodity at a fluctuating price. The Rothschilds told the bureaucrats that if the Stan dard Oil Company should become as powerful ln Russia as in America, it would only add to the ever-burning fires of internal mistrust and rebellion ln one way or another. For that rea son the Russian government created the high tariff and permitted the Roth schilds and the Nobel Brothers to al most monopolize its oil Industry.
