ROOSEVELT PLAN
FOR WORLD PEACE
Ex-President Delivers His Ad
dress Before *M Nobel Prize
Committee.
AUDIENCE SNTHUSiASTIC
Queen Maud of Norway Rises
with Her Subjects and Joins
in Nine Cheers for Mr.
Hoosevelt.
Christiania, May 5.— Notwithstanding:
an occasional weakness of the voice,
Theodore Roosevelt made a deep cut im
pression on the audience v.hich gathered
to-day in the National Theatre to hear
tho ex-President's address on "Inter
national Peace" before the Nobel Prize
Committee. It was described by the
members of the committee as the most
notable assembly sine* the Nobel Prize
was founded.
King Haakon and Queen Maud were
present, as well as all the members of
the government, who occupied seats on
the stage, and the entire Parliamentary
body, among whom was Miss Rogstad,
the Orel woman to be elected to tho
Norwegian Storthing. The overture by
the orchestra at the opening of the ses
sion was specially composed by the royal
bandmaster. Johann Halverson. who
dedicated It to Mr. Roosevelt. Toe theme
embodied 'The Star Spangled Banner.^
Xorse folksongs and meiodl«s.
The stace was bordered with flowers,
and no Norwegian nag was visible— only
the Stars and Stripes, as a eueclal com
pliment. Th«* audience stood up whet*
the Kins and Queen and Mrs. Iloosevelt
took seats in the royal box. They arose
again when Mr. Roosevelt entered from
the back of the stage, escorted by J. G.
-viand, the former Premier and chair
man of the Nobel Prize Committee. Mr.
Loevland introduced Mr. Roosevelt, who
read his speech. From time to time,
however, he departed from the text to
repeat in tbe same words or in some
what different Trorda the ideas he had
Just expressed.
Tribute to Bjornson.
Before taking up the subject of his
official address Mr. KooseveK spoKe of
the late Bjomsierne Bjornson.
"I wish to pronounce a tribute," he
said, "to the great Norwegian who ha*
just died"
The whole house arose an " stood with
booed heads for a moment, and Mr-
Roosevelt continued — "whose death
leaves a gap in the literature of the
whole world."
He alluded to Bj3rnson as a man who
had always stood for the. right me he
conceived the right la b*. As Mr.
Roosevelt proceeded with his address the.
Norwegians commented one to another
upon the resemblance bCtWOOP the «x-
PreMdent and Bjornson. to the name
style of public speaking, to the same
lavorlto posture with the clinched hand.
The address was broken by abundant
applause, in which the King joined. At
its conclusion the Queen stood and
joined the audience in giving nine short
cheer* for Roosevelt. The colonel pro
posed three cheers for Norway, and led
the cheering, but the- house broke away
and gave nine, following the Norwegian
custom. The audience then rang the.
Norwegian national anthem, and dis
persed.
The King and Queen received Mr.
Roosevelt in the. reception room outside
the royal box, and congratulatAd him
■"..irmly. On leaving the theatre the
Kins, with Colonel Roosevelt at his
right, drove in one carriage '.o the pal
ace, while the Queen and Mrs. Roosevelt
occupied another.
This was a holiday in Chrlstiania. and
the people gathered on either side of the
broad drive to the palace in such num
bers that Mi. Roosevelt was moved to
remark that he had not seen such im
mense crowds anywhere else In Europe
on this trip.
Sits for Sculptor.
The ex-President to-day save the
sculptor Vigiand a forty-five minute sit
ting for a statue, which his admirers in
North Dakota intend to erect.
Colonel Roosevelt wrote to Represen
tative Louis B. Hanua, who has the mat
ter in hand, that he did "not believe in
putting up statues bo living men, nor
until a considerable time after they were
dead, but, he added, if his friends were
going to have a statue he thought it
ought to be typical of his early days in
North Dakota, either as a frontier
farmer or a cowboy. The main thing
was tho right sort of picture; whether
;: was a likeness at him or not did not
matter.
Dr. Fridjof Nansen, the explorer, paid
a visit to Mr. Roosevelt to-day, and re
called that he had toll Mr. Roosevelt
ten or twelve years ago that if any
American discovered the North Polo be
would pick Peary-

In toasting the Storthing and the Nobel

at seme length the policy of the United
States while lie mi President toward

Premier Konow spoke of what the
United States had done and what that
ecuntry ie «lo!ns. The American Min
later, Herbert 11. D— Peirce, eulogized
Norway and the Norwegians.
Mr. Roosevelt's Nobel speech was as
follows:

sidercd as having been given me in trust
for the 'United States. I therefore used
It as a nucleus for si foundation to for
ward the cause of industrial peace as
l»Sng well within the general purpose of
your committee, for in our complex in
dustrial civilization of to-day the peace
of ., righteousness and justice, the only
kind of peace worth having, In at least
as necessary in the Industrial world as
it is among nations. There is at least as
much need to curb the cruel greed and
arrogance of part of the world of capi
ta!, to curb the cruel greed and violence
of part of the world of labor, as to check
a cruel and unhealthy militarism In in
ternational relationships.
The Meaning of Peace.
We must ever bear In mind that the
great end in view is righteousness—jus
tice as between man and man, nation
and nation; the chance to load our lives
on a somewhat higher lev*?!, with a
broader spirit of brotherly good will one
for another. Peace is generally good in
Itself, but it is never the highest Rood
unless it comes as the handmaid of
righteousness; and it becomes a very
evil thing if It serves merely as a mask
for cowardice and sloth, or as an in
strument to further the ends of despot
ism or anarchy. We despise and. abhor
the bully, the brawler, the oppressor,
whether in private or public life; but wn
aesnlso no lees The coward and the
voluptuary. No man is worth calling a.
man who "will not fight rather than sub
mit to infamy or see those that are dear
to him suffer wrong. No nation deserves
to exist if It permits itself to lose the
stern and virile virtues, and this with
out regard to whether the loss Is due to
the growth of a heartleea and all ab
sorbing commercialism, to prolonged in
dulgence in luxury and soft, effortless
ease, or to the deification of a warped
and twisted sentimentality.
Deeds, Not Words, Count.
Moreover, and above all, let us re
member that words count only when
they give expression to deeds or are to
be translated into them. The leaders of
the Red Terror prattled of peace while
they . steeped their hands, in the blood of
the innocent: and many a tyrant has
called it peace when he has scourged
honest protest* into silence. Our words
must be judged by our deed*?, and In
striving for a lofty Ideal we must use
practical methods; and if we cannot at
tain all at one leap we must advance
toward it step by step, reasonably con
tent so long an we do actually make
Some progress in the right direction.
Now, having freely admitted the limi
tations to our. work and the qualifica
tions to be borne In mind, I feel that I
have the rlpht to have my words taken
seriously when I point out where, in my
judgment, great advance can be made in
the cause of international peace. I
speak as a practical man. and whatever
I now advocate I actually tried to do
vrtfen I was for the time being 'the head
of a great nation, and keenly jealous vi.
its honor and interest. I ask other
nations to do only what I should be
glad to see my own nation do.
The Outlook for Arbitration.
The advance can be made along sev
eral lines. First of all, there can bo
treaties of arbitration. There are, of
course, states so backward that a civil
ized community ought not to enter into
an arbitration treaty with them— at least
until wo have gone much further than at
present In securing some kind of inter
national police action: But a!! really
civilized communities should have ef
fective arbitration treaties among them
selves. I-.believo that th«*e. treaties can
cover almost all questions liable to arise
between such nations if they are drawn
with the explicit agreement that each
contracting party will respect the other's
territory and its absolute sovereignty
within 'that territory, - and the equally
explicit agreement that (aside from the
very rare riling where the nation's honor
Is vitally concerned) nil other possible
subjects of controversy will be sub
mitted to arbitration. Such a treaty
would insure peace unless one party de
liberately violated it. Of course, as yet
there is no adequate safeguard against
such deliberate violation, but the estab
lishment of « sufficient number of these
treaties would go a long way toward
creating a world opinion which would
finally find expression in the provision of
methods to forbid or punish any such
violation.
Development of the Hague Court.
Secondly, there is the further develop
ment of the Hague tribunal, of the work
of the conferences and courts fit Tho
Hague. It has been well said that the
first Hague conference framed a magna
charta for the nations; it set before us
an ideal which has already to some ex
tent been realized, and toward the full
realization of "which we can all steadily
strive. The second conference made fur
ther progress; the third should do yet
more. Meanwhile the American govern
ment has more than once tentatively
suggested methods for completing the
court of arbitral justice, constituted at
the second Hague conference, and for
rendering it effective. It Is earnestly to
be hoped that the various governments
of Europe, working with those of Amer
ica and of Aeia, slia.ll set themselves seri
ously to the task of devising: some
method which shall accomplish this re
sult. If I may venture the suggestion, it
would be well for the. statesmen of the
world, in planning for the. erection of
this world court, to study what has been
done in the United States by the Su
preme Court.
U. S. Supreme Court as a Modei.
I cannot help thinking that the Consti
tution of tho United States, notably in
the establishment of the Supreme Court
and In the methods adopted for securing
peace and good relations among and be
tween the different states, offers certain
valuable analogies to what should be
striven for in order to secure, through
the Hague courts and conferences, a
species of world federation for interna
tional peace and justice. There are, of
course, fundamental differences between
what the United States Constitution
does and what we should even attempt
at this time to secure at The Hague; but
the methods adopted in the American
Constitution to prevent hostilities be
tween the states, and to secure the su
premacy of the federal court in certain
classes of cases, are well worth the study
of those who seek at The Hague to ob
tain the same results on a world scale.
Agreement on Armaments.
In the third place, something should be
done as soon as possible to check the
growth of armaments, especially naval
armaments, by International agreement.
No one power could or should act by it
self; for it is eminently undesirable, from
the standpoint of the peace of righteous
ness. that a power which really does be
lieve in peace should place itself at the
mercy of some rival which may at bot
tom have no such belief and no Intention
of acting on it. But, granted sincerity
of purpose, the great powers of the world
should liud no insurmountable difficulty
in reaching an agreement which would
put an end to the present costly and
growing extravagance of expenditure on
naval armaments. An agreement merely
to limit the size of ships would have been
very useful a few year." ago, and would
still be of use:"bul the agreement should
go much further.
Plea for a League of Peace.
Finally, it would be a master stroke if
those great powers honestly bent on
peace would form a league of peace, not
only to keep the peace among them
selves; but to prevent, by force if neeen
sary, Its being broken by others. Tho
supreme difficulty in connection with'de
veloping the peace work of The Hague
arise* from the lack of any executive
power, of an) police power to enforce
the decrees of the court. In any com
munity of any size the authority of the
courts rests upon actual or potential
force; on the existence of a polios, or on
the knowledge th;\t the ablebodied men
of the country are both ready and will
ing to :n'v. that the decrees of Judicial
and legislative bodies are put Into effect.
In new and lid communities where
there is violence an honest man must
protect himself, and until other means of
securing bis safety are devised It is
both foolish and pricked to persuade him
to surrender his arms while the men who
are dangerous to the community retain
theirs. 11 • should not renounce the right
to protect himself by his own efforts un
til the community is so organized that it
can effect relieve the Individual of
the duty of putting down violence.
A World's Police Force.
Bo it is with nations. Each nation
must keep well prepared to defend Itself
until the establishment of some form of
Intematlonni police power rompp'oiit
and willing to prevent violence as be- |
tween nations. As things are now, sucrt
power to command peace throughout tnc
world could best be assured by some
combination between those great nations ,
which sincerely desire peace and have
no thought themselves of committing ag
gressions. The combination might a*
first be only to secure peace within -
tain definite limits and certain definiE^
conditions: but the ruler or statesman
who should bring about such a combina
| tion would have earned his place in n-»
tory for all time and his title to the
i gratitude of all mankind.
Warm Praise for Mr. Roosevelt.
; At the conclusiqn of the Roosevelt ad- j
' dress, John Lund, vice-president of the
Nobel Prize Committee, paid a tribute
to the speaker and to the country from ;
which he came. After referring to Nor
way* interest in America and American
affairs Mr. Lund said:
"But it is not Norway alone but the
entire civilized world which has reason
j to be grateful to the United States. Mill
| ions upon millions from Europe, poor
! and often downtrodden, but capable,
I have found In the Nov.- World that hap
! piness and prosperity which the Old
! World wag unable to afford them. In
many ways the United States has
reached the goal for which Europe is
| still sighing. There all peoples, all races
i and all religions can unite peacefully in
j mutual industry under a common flag.
Many ideals for which Europe hua
striven for more than a thousand years
have been grasped by the youngest con-
I tinent in the course of two or three hun
i dred years." >•
Mr. Lund praised many features or
American life, citing its industry, agri
cultural development and school sys
j terns, and dwelt upon the position of
I the American woman and the popular
respect for the worker. Addressing Mr.
Roosevelt he said:
"Tour journey thro the Old World.
Mr. Roosevelt, has been a triumphal pro
cession. Everywhere ' *hers have taken
pleasure and pride in bidding welcome to
co worthy a representative of their sons
yonder in the west." The speaker re
viewed Mr. Roosevelt's activities in be
half of peace, referring: especial ly to his
share In the conclusion of peace between
Kussia and Japan, and added:
"I have no doubt that the future will
still afford you opportunities" for adding
to your splendid achievements. Long 1
live Theodore Roosevelt!"
The Roosevelts spent a quiet morning:
indoors, as a cold rain fell during the
forenoon. They had luncheon with the
American Minister and Mrs. Peirce at
the legation.
London, May 6.— "Roosevelt's are noble
ideals. and he propounds them as 'a prac
tical man.' We may hope that hi-< words
now or In the future may not be without
effect in the sphere of international deeds,"
says "The Dally Chronicle," In an edi
torial on the former President* address,
which is printed in extenso and commented
upon by most of the London morning
papers.
"The Standard" says: "Not even to make
things pleasant to the Xobel Committee
could Mr. Roosevelt be induced to declare
that the time had arrived for great nations
to lay aside the bucKler and sword ana
give themselves wholly to works of peace.
The necessity of' every great free people to
hold themselves ready for instant war is
the moral of Roosevelt's proclamation, and
its soundness cannot be questioned."
"The Morning Post" takes a similar view,
and considers Mr. Roosevelt's proposal for
a league of peace too fantastic to be real
ized.
THE GERMAN POINT OF VIEW
Count Yon Bernstorff Says Mil
itarism Makes for Peace.
Chicago. May While Mr. Roosevelt was
addressing the Xobel Award Committee at
Christian!* to-day the German Ambassa
dor. Count yon Bernstorff, was in Chicago,
and discoursed favorably on big navies, bis
armies and the like.
"As between Germany and the United
State."?." said the visiting diplomat, "there
is no need of armaments; our ii" rests do
not conflict In the least, hut it would be
difficult to convince the German people that
the investment they have made in what you
would call militarism is not a good one.
"Previous to her military development
Germany was the battleground of nations.
Nov.-. for a hundred years. Germany has
been free from Invasion, and for forty
years there has been absolute peace.
"Small armies mean warfare; large
armies mean peace. A Strong army pro
vides insurance against war: and, while
our insurance hap cost US much, our pros
perity has increased tenfold under the peace
It has secured for up. To Germans, what
we have cainod through peace by strength
of arms is well worth the cost."

[From Tbo Tribune JJurwi-3
Washlncton, May £.— The Secretary p.
Stato and the British Ambassador ex
chanced ratifications to-day DUtting into
effect' the treaty between the Unlttd Stated
and Great Britain regarding the t, atcrwaj S
on the Canadian boundary. The treaty was
approved by the Senate on March 3 of last

the waters 'at the rapids of theSault Ste.

In addition to establishing the rlghis of
the citizens of either country to the use of
the boundary waters, the treaty provides
for the establishment of a Joint commission,
consisting of six members, three from the
United States and three from th* Domin
ion., which is clothed with authority to in
voiticate and report on any question arts
ing between the tW3 countries alorg their
common frontier and to hear and determine
any question whatever between the two

of this provision Is, therefore, to establish
j a new tribunal of arbitration between the
i United States and Canada by -which ques
tions concerning only themselves may be
settled without outside intervention. Should
the commission be equally divided, the
treaty reauircs that the case shall be re
ferred for decision to an umpire, chosea in
accordance with the provisions of tlva
Hague Convention of October IS, 1&7.' Mariy
