PEACE SENTIMENT
SAID TO BE SMALL
Former Secretary FosterFavors Campaign of
Education
BELIEVES PUBLICINCLINES TO WAR
Only Chance He Says for Legis-
lation Is Through PopularClamor
20TW YORK Jan 3S That public sea
mesas of nettling international disputesand that the advocates of universalpee and arbitration are far hi theMinority was the bold declaration ofJohn W Foster former Secretary afState in an address before the mem-bers of the National Peace Society tonlowing a luncheon tore today
Foster declared the proper way forthe advocates of universal peace to work
J was not to devote their time toI to force legislation but to workamong the masers and create send
for which would ofj force legislation
had been expected that Andrew
preside but he tat conssui to hitI with a sprained knee caused by arecent and sent a letter of re
jsretIn his address after admitting the
magnitude of the task society has Onhand Mr Foster declared littlecould be expected Item the present Sen-
ate and quoted a Senator whomHe
the army shook be enlarged andstrengthened
SentiBdnt IK WranjSuch sentiments as those uttered
by the Senator and the general hecontinued but r
feeling ia our country and It far
ene which RMist be changed before wemay expect ny substantial and per-manent realisation of the ptinciple ofthe peace society
Our opponent assert that war notonly is raevttabfc but sometimes tonecessary that arbitration is merely amethod of adjusting minor intematSpnal-mdWrerences and that political ques-tions Involving national policy honoror territory must in the extreme restbe determined by the airnlraascm otwar and that war to pet an unmixedevil as it stimulates patrocism makespopulation and is a healthy stimulusamong nations
Mr Foster defended thewar which he declared does notwithin the category of foreign
wars and to tbfe discussion venturedthe assertion that if Canada today de-sired to set up an independent govern-ment it would meet with no armedopposition from Great Britain
Put Wars IneefenainieHe said the war of IC and the Xexi
can war were Indefensible and that thecivil war grew out of condition whichcould not have been for seen but shouldnave been by purchasing thslaves and setting them free
The Spanish war de aserted was pre-cipitated by the blowing up of the
and tie said It is by no meanscertair that Chas explosions did not originate inside of the battleship Therewoum have been no need of this wartoe said had it not been that popularopinion the conflict when dipio-macy wa still available and would havprevented a conflict
In conclusion Mr Foster saidreview I think shows that all
of the foreign wars which the UnitedStates has been engaged were brought-on by our own precipitate action thatthey were not inevitable and that theymight have ben avoided by the exerciseof prodmce and deliberation
Remarks By Other SpeakersProf John Bates Clark of the De-
partment of Economics of ColumbiaUniversity discussing the peace movewent said
The peace movement at its inceptionwas highly idealistic and to the aver-age Philistine was a thing of dreamsand visions Of late years it has be-come eminently practical and Ks con-summation is probable hi the near fu
Mrs Lucia Ames Mead of Bostoncriticised Secretary Meyers recentstatement that our navy was a cheapform of insurance rooting duringour history only etl2 of every dolJar o fractional wealth
Marcus M Marks member of theRoosevelt industrial pesos committeeand president of the National Associa-tion of Clothiers made an appeal tobusiness men to take a snore activepersonal interest hi the organizedpeace movement Attention was calledto the duty of men of antis in coop
