Straus Gives Warning | Against Re-barbarization of World | Washington, D. C., May 26.—Oscar Straus, former ambassador to Tur- 7, speaking today at the first an- | of on nual national assemblage League to Enforce Peace, “Pre- paredness Against the Re-barbari: tion of the World,” said in part: “It is a mistake to ‘believe armies and navies lie useless when not engaged in war. As a matter of fact, Trmies and navies are the potential forces bhehind diplomacy when vital the | that | participate in the peace conferences at the Hague in 1899 and 1907 and who looked with hopefulness upon the results that would follow, have met with disappointment, . certainly they have not fallen further away from the realization of their ideals than have the militarists in the con- dition of hopelessness and remoteness of results the; aimed speedily to achieve by the war which now en- gulfs the world. In other words, the failure of the militarists has certainly been as decisive and infinitely more appalling than has been the failyre of the peace advocates in achieving thelr end. This world war is a distinct proof that neither pacifism without might nor might—unle: domInated by right—can be effectual in securing a permanent peace. A League of All Nations. Many plans have been devised, but no one in my judgment has laid a better foundation for international peace than the one that has been adopted by the League to Enforce Peace. Herbert Spencer in his “Prin- interests are at stake, and their poten- tiality is in the background and often the controlling factors in obviating the development of conditions that lead to war or that project nations Into war, even at times against thei own will. % “Let us not deceive ourselves failing to see that this war has let loose throughout the world the spirit of conquest, the hunger for territory and the rivalry for domination on land and sea. Even our efforts to maintain our neutrality instead of making for us friends, have made us envied, distrusted, and by me itions hated. But = entirely apart om the menace of foreign attack, it e are to be an effective influence sither now or hereafter in the pro- motion or maintenance of peace the world, the measures of our influ- snce will certainly not be in propor- ton to our weakn but in propor- tion to our available strength. It is said by some that to enlarge our naval =and military forces will of itself be 1 ‘provocative of war in that it will prempt the spirit of militarism. This s true where armaments are piled up tor the sake of domination or of con- juests, but armaments for defense— subordinated, as they always must be ander our form of government to the civil power—are not the promoters of Alitarism, but a bulwark for the maintenance of the reign of law ana of justice and for the security of all by hose ideals which constitute the ele- | of enlightened and progressive | sivilization. The Hague Peace Plans. Tt is quite the vogue now to refer with riducle to the two Hague con- ferences and to the efforts made to avert the catastrophe toward whicn FBrope was so rapidly drifting. The tendencies were in two diametrically spposite directions which have been sraphically described as Utopia or Hell. If the pac who animateda Bd encoy 4 the o D 2 | ciples of Sociology” some thirty vears ago stated: ““A federation of the high- est nations exercising supreme au- thority, may by forbidding wars be- tween any of its constituent nations, | put ‘an end to the re-barbarization which is continually threatening civi- lization.” Some such plan | ommended by Sir Edward proposed by him to Germany as a safeguard against aggression on the ipart of the Triple Entente, on July 30, 1914, This proposal was embodied in a telegram to the British ambassa- dor at Berlin. He said: “If the peace of Burope can be preserved and the present crisis safely passed, my own endeavor will be to promote | some arrangement to which Germany | could be a party by which she could be assured that no aggressive or hos- ile policy would be her or her allies by France and ourselves, jointly or seperately. I have desired this and worked for it far as I could through the last Balkan crisis, and Germany, having a corresponding object, our relations | sensibly improved. The idea has | hitherto been too Utopian to form ubject of definite proposals, but it this present crisis, so much more | acute than any that Europe has gone | through for generations, be | passed, T am hopeful that the reliet | ana reaction which will follow may | make possible some more definite ap- | proachment between the powers than been possible hitherto.” ‘ Unfortunately this proposal was | has only put forward at the eleventh hour when misrepresentation, irritation and | suspicion had poisoned the air: all of which emphasizes the necessity that arrangements for peace must be made |in advance, not only of mobilization, | but of the irritations which produce war, and that such arrangements must be made with the same precau- tions and preparedness as the nations have hitherto given to preparations o o safely | Republicans Visit Roosevelt to Say They Support Him for Nomination Casting aside all quibble and com- promise, a committee of twenty-four prominent republicans, practically all of them Taft advocates in 1912, went to Oyster Bay to inform Colonel Theodore Roosevelt that republicans of every state in the Union were or- ganizing to work for his nomination for president at the republican tional convention on June 7 na- as the leader in the movement for Ameri- canism and preparedness. The colonel's reply was to the point: “I am naturally deeply pleased by your action. touched and 1 accept it absolutely in the spirit in which you have taken it.” There was much applause when he gave expression o this statement, which was construed in some quarters as a parting shot at Justice Hughes: “‘Any man at this ime of crisis openly and specifically for these prin- ciples is against them, and every patriotic man should trust our public servants on this ba: The leader of the delegation was George Von I. Meyer of Massachusetts, former secretary of the navy, seen seated in the picture at the right of Colonel Roosevelt.
