FRENCH PEAGE MOVE ENDORSED Memorial Going fo President Goolidge From First Church Sixty-five members of the First Congregational church yesterday sizned a memorial to President Cool- idze asking him to approve of the recommendation of M. Briand of Trance in his suggestions for steps toward universal peace. In his Armistice Day addres Theodore A. Green submitted recolution, and said in part: “Arbitration treaties of more or l:ss limited scope became popular ifter the middle of the last century. And treaties to settle all disputes be- tween nations, whatever their nature by arhitration or conciliation began to be made as long ago as 1820. For example, between Columbia and Rev. the Peru in oSuth America. It is an ac- | tual fact that thirty euch treaties were in force in 1914, but not be n the so-called ‘great powers. Betwcen 1776 and 1926 over 527 ar- bitration treaties were made, not in- cluding the agreement under the league of Nations' covenant. During this same period, 264 disputes were | actually settled by arbitration. “Since the world war, the move- ment to outlaw war and make peace possible, has made rapid progress. The members of the League of Na- tions, 55 in all, and excluding tod in the world family only Rus: Turkey, Mexico and the United 3 have pledged themselves to submit all disputes for some kind of peaceful settlement, and, though the proposed scttlement is not acceptable, in not to re- rt to war until three months after report of the council. In 1924, assembly of the Le, tions drafted a general would go much v illegal. This was known as the Protocol.” Tt was not rz at powers : the United States :rmany and Russia were not then the les Such a treaty would only in case all the were to cooperate, In however, by the ‘lLocarno ents,' Germany on the one nce, Czecho- o and Poland, severally, on the other, engaged to settle by peace. ful means, all disputes of every kind not seftled by the normal methods of diplomacy, Thus war between Ger- many and several countries Tins been absolutely renounced. Fifty- 1wo treatice making for peace be- tween nations have been involved, nots France with five, Denmark A Ttaly with ten, weden and Switzerland with seven, Great with one. The Unitc? States has not yet made one such treaty. 2 September 901 Jjust two go, Dr. Stres nann announc to assem- bly of the League of Nations that the i \ ch would accept the compwisory arbitration cauee of the world court of justice.” The dele- gates rose and cheered him in excite- ment and delight! Why? B Germany, the my of more £ev s of the world in thg last gre termany is the fifst of the great 1tions to accept without proviso the principle of obligatory ort to the world court on all the tions with which the court is ipetent to deal. t all this b these and use than [ cor L 55 of ‘follow- ing after the things' that make for peace hos been accomplished in spite of—we regret to explain—and not because of the cooperation, king and assistance of our own Leloved nation. If we would be lionest with ourselves as we face up to the responsibilities still incwm- bent upon us to earry on the work One Skinny Man even | Spain with eight | of making war a crime and peace a possibility, we must examine into our own record of peace malking. “What has America done of late | moking for world peace? She {helped turn the tide of battle in 1917 and 18. Her wartime presi- dent stood firm in his conviction that !a league of nations and a world | court were part and parcel of the cssential machinery for a world | peace! And, though he could not | carry his country into that league, | it was nevertheless in the beginning | very largely his creation! “True, America invited the great powers to participate in a great dis- | armament conference and set them {all, at first, an example in the re- duction of her army and navy inso- far as she felt it wise. True, Ameri- ca has contributed one judge to the | world court bench, and considerable | unofticial brains and very welcome cash to certain aspects of the league’s present program. Still, what can we say of our record in | this matter of arbitration? | “Go back over tory, and you will find that since 1798, when the St. Croix river boundary dispute with Great Britain was settled by arbitration, the | ates has been a party to 74 | Unitea arbitrations with a3 many as 24 The questions different nations. dealt with have been freedom of the s, disputed territories, obliga- | tions of a central state, maritime wrisdiction, contract c claims for debts and numerous other con- troversial matters, “Notwlithstanding the interest of the people of the United States in the peaceful settlement of all dis- | putes, the senate—for years back— has been refusing to ratify any | treaty that would obligate it to sub- mit disputes to arbitration. Listen to this for consistent allegiance to a policy of isolation and the mainte nance of a ‘national sovereignty'— “In 1897, the Olney-Pauncefote treaty was signed by representatives of the United States and Great Brit- ain. This treaty provided for obli- gatory arbitration on the part of both nations. Presidents Cleveland and McKinley backed the treaty, so did the people. But, the senate withheld its consent and the treaty | tailed. | “In 1304, Secretary of State John | Hay concluded a serfes of arbitra- | tion treaties with a number of state. | All the customary provision8 re- garding vital interest, independence and national honor were written | into these treaties. Yet, once again, the senate refused to give its con- sent to these treaties, and they were | tatterly withdrawn, { “President Taft, in 1911, submit- ted to the senate general tion conventions with Great Britain and France. It was provided that lin the event any doubt existed as to | whether or not a particular event was justifiable, the issue should be decided by a foint high commis- sion. But what happened? The senate objccted on the ground that this was an unconstitutional ! gation of power. As a result, the treatics were left unratified. “Among the reservations attached to the senate resolution agreeing to | the adherence of the United States | to the permanent court of interna- tlonal justice, the second half of the fifth reservation proposcd to estab- lish the right of the United States to veto any request for an ‘advisory opinion’ on any question in which the United States ‘has or claims’ an inte This reservation, without further interpretation or classifica- tion, was not acceptable to the na- tions members of the world court. “Be it said to the credit of the other nations, however, der to try and clear up the diffi- culty raised, they suggested a con- ference. Surely this offer was sin cere and courteous enough. Never- theless it was not and has not been | accepted by the United States. | “Right here the Federal Council | ot Churches of Christ in Americ |and the Congregational commission lon international relations, of which | former Governor William E.
