UNITED STATES UF THE WORLD ~ LEACUE'S AM Hamilton Holt Tells How Exten- sion of American Idea Would Insure Permanent Peace OBJECTIONS TO PROJECT | DISPOSED OF BY EDITOR Believes Federation Proposed Feasible—Action to Come at End of Conflict An audience which filled the munl- cipal Auditorium sat for more than an hour last evening under the spell of the masterly diction and smooth- flowing logic of Hamilton Holt, editor of The Independent, who came to Bis- marck to discuss “After the War— What?” Mr. 'Holt isa large man. So per- fect are the modulations of his well cultivated voice that last evening in conversational tone he talked to the thousand people who had gathered to hear him, and there was not one who did not grasp every word. : League to Enforce Peace. Hamilton Holt, one of the found- ers of the League to Enforce Peace, came to Bismarck to tell its people what this organization is; what it hopes to do, and how it purposes to. do it. He apologized for the use of the term “peace,” which he acknowl- edged to be in disrepute at this time, but he predicted that .the. day. will come when peace once more will be in good standing and when its pres. ervation will become desirable. Then, stated Mr. Holt, will the league under- @; tytake the task of enforcing peace. He ~“-emphasized the fact that his organi- FREE TO ASTHMA.

How It Was Born. The League to Enforce Peace was born in Independence hall, Philadel- Bhia, June 17, 1915, after a number of preliminary conferences in which | America’s foremost statesmen, poli- tical economists and philosophers had participated, No effort had been made to work out a constitution, but there were submitted for consideration and adoption four general proposals, as follows: First: All justiciable questions arising between the signatory powers, not settled by negotiation, shall sub- ject to the limitations of treaties, be submitted to a judicial tribunal for hearing and judgment, both upon the merits and upon any issue as to its jurisdiction of the question. Second: All other questions aris- ing between the signatories and not settled by negotiation, shall be sub- mitted to a council of conciliation for hearing, consideration and recommen- dation. H Third: The signatory powers shall jointly use forthwith both their. eco- nomic and military forces against any one of their number that goes to war or commits acts of hostility against question arising shall, be. submitted as provided. F "Fourth: Conferences‘ between. the |; signatory powers shall beheld from time to time to formulate and codify rules of international law, which, un- less some signatory shall signify its dissent within a stated period, shall thereafter govern in the decisions of the, judicial tribunal mentioned in. ar- ticle one. Idea Not New. Such a league of nations, Mr. Holt noted, is not new. .Jt dates back to the earliest stages of civilization. It has been feebly attempted in one fo} or another in every great epoch ‘In the world’s development. But .until the dawn of American independence and the confederation of the thirteen colonies, such leagues had been for the prosecution of war or the advance- ment of selfish ends rather than the enforcement of a permanent peace be- tween states. 7 To accomplish that , which the league has,,set out to do there must, declared Mr, Holt, be an extension of democracy, .Only in a democracy,’ such as America or Great Britain, he said, could such a project be con- ceived, and only through the’ spread’ of democratic principles may the a free trial of our tter in what climate iter what your age Beit you are troubled ; method sbould re- yoo want to send it to howe p ly hopeless cases, where all forms of inhalers, douches, opium preparations, fumes, “patent mo! etc; have failed.

The league merely would insist that before congress de- clares war the questions at issue be submitted to the international council for negotiation and conciliation. Then, if congress feels the verdict of that body is. just there need be no war; if it takes exceptions, it may still make war, but without the support of the league. What Washington Would Do. Then there are those who quote from the last speech of George Wash ington, his advice against entangling alliances. “There are people,” said Mr, Holt, “who pretend to know just what Mr, Washington or Mr. Lincoln VT weak, and which will insist that all! another of: the signatories ‘before any | The Outbursts NOU Gert BUSY AND Do A FOR THE COUNTRY, Too, FOR THE SOLDICRS £ «AAEM would do if they were here today. am not among them. Rut, it is opinion that if George Washingt were alive today, he, the first Virginian, would be found side by side with Woodrow Wils the last great Virginian in the wi house. He would find America ;; longer a provincial colony of 3,000@ people, but a world power—i American and Central American er; an Asiatic power, and, through our entrance in the great war, an European power, and he would fing that alliances no more are to be avoided.” «The Monroe doctrine has ’ been urged as,another obstacle. (Mr. ‘Holt admitted (the possibilities for trouble to be found in this doctrine. He in- sisted, however, that America, as a member of the League to Enforce Peace, will have the same opportun- ity.to live up to its Monroe doctrine and to. insist that other powers do so, that it has now. It would have the further privilege of submitting all questions. arising under the Monroe doctrine to an international court, and, if dissatisfied. with the findings of that court, it would still have re- ‘course to arms. . America Not Alone. Like all; great movements, when the time for them becomes ripe, the League to Enforce Peace was con- ceived simultaneously in) several countries. ‘While America’s big men were quietly working out a ‘plan. James Bryce and other intellectu: giants of the British empire were e gaged in the same task.
