FUn Calls for Action by Signatory
Powui in Effort to Coxnpl Obd-
Through the agency of the Cham
bers of Commerce of the country, the
League to Enforce I'eace, organized
.at Independence Hall, Philadelphia
hopes to establish a sentiment that
will lead to the abolition of war. Presi-
dent C. C. Colt of the Portland Cham
ber, has received a letter from ex-President
William 11. Taft, who Is president
of the league, urging the cooperation
of the Portland Chamber and its Indi
vidual members.
His plan is to found some rational
plan for world peace to be worked
out through International agreement
after peace has been declared In Eu
rope. Mr. Taffs plan is to establish a
league of the great powers which shall
agree not to go to war in any case
until the question at issue Is passed
upon Judicially, the nations agreeing
also to use their Joint military and
economic forces against any nation re
fusing to keep the pact.
Plan la Outlined.
The proposals of .Mr. Taft, to which
he asks the Indorsement of the Port
land Chamber are that the United
States join this league of nation3,
whose powers shall be:
The establishment of an internation
al tribunal or world court, which shall
pass on all justiciable questions aris
ing between nations.
The establishment of an Internation
al tribunal to be known as a council
of conciliation, which shall pass on
all non-justiciable questions, that is,
questions which cannot be settled in ac
cordance with the principles of law and
equity.
The signatory powers to use forth
with their Joint economic and military
forces against any nation which has
joined the league, but which goes to
war, or begins acts or nostlllty against
another of the signatories, without
first submitting Its quarrel to a court
or board of arbitrators, and provided
In sections one and two.
The adoption of a code of Interna
tional law through a series of inter
national conferences.
It Is understood that a recent peace
referendum of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States was sub
mitted as the result of the active in
terest of Herbert 8. Houston, president
of the Associated Clubs of the World,
and Edward A. Fllene of Boston, chair
man of the committee whose recom
mendations form the basis of the ref
erendum.' Anotnar Plan Oiran.
These recommendations are:
That the United States take the ini
tiative in bringing about a conference
among neutral nations to define and
enunciate rules to give protection at
all times, to life and property upon
the high seas.
In joining with other nations in
the establishment of an International
court, lo' pass upon international dis
putes, where the questions can be set
tled according to legal or equitable
principles.
In Joining with the other nations in
a council of conciliation for the set
tlement of questions that cannot oe
settled by an international court.
In joining with 'other nations in an
agreement to bring concerted economic
pressure to bear upon any tmtion re
sorting to military measures without
first submitting Its differences to a
court or council of conciliation.
In Joining with other nations in an
agTeerrent to use concerted mllita;y
force in the event of the failure of
economic force to compel a nation to
desist from military operations, as
provided in the foregoing section.
To bring about the adoption of a
code of international law.
