PEACE PROBLEMS
HELD ALMOST AS

Exploitation of Economically

Prague, Nov. it. The most Important
thing at the Wanhlnjrton conference It
tb spirit of nejtotlatlona.
While I am partisan for the Idea of
prmannt peace aa oppoaed to mlUta-
rlam and Imporlstliim. I am for that very i
reason opposed also to (ha peculiar sen
timental paririitm no often jnrl with In
America and Kngland. the supporters of
which bmm the protectors of the moat
militaristic and sgtresslve stale.
It la necessary that the conference
master (ha realities In order to approach
tha Ideal aim. The aolution of the Cen
tral European problem, meaning the con
solidation Of Central Kurope, la moat
argent.
RCHSIA 15 5F.IT PHASK
Tha nuaaiaa problem la aoon to enter
a new phase, with Rueela reviving the
work of her own consolidation. A spe
cial problem which must ba considered
la the relationa of Franca and Germany.
In common with other, I wUih and hope,
that France and Germany may agree to
cooperate In tha future and in arrang
ing ttys England could, by her media
tion, be an Important factor.
Tha three great absolute powers of i
uermany, Austro-llungary and Russia
havs been abolished, and no power can
assume tha ruling position of pre-war
Germany.
Kuror can and mnet become one
entente of treat and small nations. This
la democratic aenae. Talking of friendly
understanding between France and Ger
many, it Is also sense to hope and ex
pect that Russia will again become an
Influential member In Kurope. But for
this hope we must have American col
laboration nr.t.V DFFK3SE OSLT
Regarding disarmament. the true
opinion must be Impressed upon all na
tions that aggression must cease and
that the moral sense of mankind will
tolerate self-defense only.
It la necessary to pursue a genuinely
clvlllilng policy of promoting interde
pendence an true intcrnatlonallty of
states and nations. At the same time !
It should be remembered that while the
slaughter of war Is a horrible thing,
the syatematlc starvation and exploita
tion of the economically weaker by the
atronger Is also terrible.
Therefore. It Is necessary for the con
ference to take up the financial and eco
nomic aspect of peace as well as the
physical possibilities of war In tha Pa-
eiflc
Solid business is preferabla to eentl-mentalism.'
