pect; anil (.here ar? tho longings, ainbl- j
tlons and aspirations, to some extent
legitimate, <.f several smaller nations,
especially In Eastern Europe, which
fine way m- another arc connected with
I the questions pending between the big
ones. If y;o add to this a certain un
rest spreading within some of the
national bodies e.n grounds of racial
j and social discontent, we have. I think,
a complete map ol the elements of dls
I turbanee Europe has to grapple with
I at present.
.Mutual Distrust.
??Tiie common feature of all these
questions is their origin from mutual
distrust and antagonism, their growth
through an endless series of conflicts
I und wars, Intersected by treaties,
sanctioning the result of tho iact ,)nei
but never getting any nearer to a
linnl solution.
"Another common feature of the
political prolderns in Europe Is the ex
w me difllctilty of bringing thctn Into a
question of right or wrong, fit to be
decided by some juridical procedure;
That could be done only If arbitration
were- organized as a sort of equity
jurisdiction, where the judge applies
maxims of sound common sense when?
ever law fails him, or if we should
consider as absolutely Invlolatable the
status quo determined by treaties and
precedents. Neither of these courses
seems perfectly safe. The arbitrator
Is not yet borne gifted with a moral
authority that could compel treat na?
tions to abdicate pretensions they
think just ami cssentlon to their wel?
fare or to yield to claims ihey deem
unfounded and injurious to them, only
bei ause ho happens to take a different
view of the case.
"The Eastern question is still more
refractory to solution on juridical
grounds. The European side of that
question may be summed up as fol?
lows; Russia wants an outlet to the
open sea; her northern ports being
frozen during several months, she can
find it all the year round only through
the Dardanelles. Hence her constant
bias to get control of those straits.
Near the Dardanelles; ;o to say around
them, liussia finds several small na?
tions, in part still subjected to the
Turkish rule, partly emancipated from
it.
j '?The vital interest ?f Austria-Hun?
gary in these affairs is well known, it
j is her special cause of uneasiness.
j Russia's control of the Dardanelles,
would mean her absolute sway of the
j Balkan peninsula, tho total absorption
i of all its Slavonic states into the
sphere of Russian power. In that case
I'Auftria-l-I?ri'gnry, and Rumania, too.
j would her caught as between iron fangs,
liable to be < rushed between them, or
! to be Immobilized in a situation of
j unsafely. Should Austria-Hungary
then fe<d bound to submit to such a
lot? Would :t be easy to give a verdict
or right of wrong in a conflict be?
tween interests like these?some of
them vital?
Two Great Problems.
?'The two great problems?Western
and Eastern?of Europe, combined with
problems of Colonial policy, have given
origin to the two great combinations
of European powers, the Triple Al?
liance and the Triple Entente. On one
side we see Germany, Austria-Hungary,
Italy, who arc in the main satisfied
with the status quo. On the other side
France and Russia, the two powers if
whom there is much that is objection?
able in the status <|iio.
'"How England came to side with
these two powers rather than with the
Triple Alliance can be explained only
by considerations belonging to the Held
of colonial policy. At present
she seenis inspired by the novel sensa?
tion of seeing a possible rival in her
hitherto undisputed domination over
the seas and In the tie Ids of colonial
expansion; that rival being Germany,
she sides with the combination from
which Germany is absent, forgetful of]
the- menace which Russia's steady ad?
vance in Central Asia may mean to her
Indian empire.
"A distinguished Russian diplomatist
once told me that to the best of Iiis be?
lief there would be no more great wars
In Europe, hut that be saw constant
danger of colonial conllicts. There is
danger of conflict with tho territorial
power and with the riv.il colonizing
power. The so-cailed uncivilized coun?
tries show a distinct and growing un?
willingness to offer themselves a prey
to foreign colonization. The territory
open tei colonization becomes smaller,
while need of it Increases; that makes
competition for what there remains
t'icrcer from tiny to eiay. It. seems not
only necessary, but urgent that prin?
ciples should he laid down by inter?
national agreement to regulate colonial
problems, and that the application of
those principles should be confided io
in international court o( justice or to
obligatory a rid trat ion.
"The p ople of Europe bear the bur?
den of an annual military expenditure
of $l,r>00.00(),?00 in times of what is
called peace; they shrug their shoulders
and sigh over it, but they submit to it
as to some law of nature that lies be?
yond our control. Man is hardly able
to conceive what war would mean In
these times when the nations are. so
dependent on each other in their every?
day wants, and It their dally habits.
That far away from the horrors of bat*
tlefields, ruin hardly , less horrible,
would befall hu ods of thousands of
peaceful citizens. Tho instinct of self
j preservation recoils from such a
?vholcsalo massacre of numberless in?
dividual interests; comparing certain
cost to possible results, war is found
? to be a business that does not pay.
Public Spirit Languid.
''Languor Is a general feature of
public spirit nowadays; languid em be
Jialf of. peace, it is alill more languid
[concerning war. Those passions that
, kindle the flame of n warlike spirit
i In a whole people, seem to he. If not
extinct; certainly weakened, commer?
cial spirit Ikis grown und spread with
I the growth and spread of commercial
I transactions; that spirit becomes war?
* like only when prollt is to bo expcot
I e<l from war at a minimum of com ?and
this is why faraway colonial wars are
1 not .always distasteful to it.
j The forces that work for . pre?
servation V'f bep.ee have an easier task
I before them than could have been sup
i posed, after the foregoing sketch of
I European d'fllculties. Foremost among
; these forces stands (hb sincere love of
.peace animating the rulers of nations.
There Is not a single Emperor or
! King In Europe whose ambition points
toward war. who docs not prldo him?
self on having bestowed on his sub
' Joels the blessings of peace. True they
prepare for war all the same, ami they
I do not choose therein to be checked*;
! but this Is a tribute paid to the pre?
carious character of tho situation;
j there Is m> hidden scheme of aggres
r.Slbh behind ttielr armament:'.
"In my opinion the next best thing
1*0 peace permanently secured is peace
actually preserved; the longer an ac?
tual outbreak i:> prevented, the more
do ponding questions l?s? of their edge;
bitterness of feeling suh?idcs, a con?
ciliatory atmosphere spreads; tltho Is
won 'o prepare Solutions, to work on
public opln'on, to cover more and more
ground by dictates of International law,
to bring more and more problems
"vlthln the Hcopo of juridical principles,
to convene international conferences
and to make treaties and conventions
based on justice, not on the results
of violece, combining therefore moral
force with formal right. The slow evo?
lution town-d a permanent peace es?
tablishment requires a certain lap.-,, of
time uninterrupted by war; such a
epoch of precar'ous peace in an Indis?
pensable precursor of institutions se?
curing peace altogether.
"We have seen that the state of Eu?
rope |s a precarious one. and that no?
body can seriously answer for the
morrow. Still, peace is likely to h
preserved for several years to come.
The worst of the situation Is that, in
most European countries we have no
such vigorous public opinion In favor
of peace.
"In remedying this, "6ii Americans
may efficiently assist iis You can do
It by developing within your conti?
nent peace Institutions fi' to serve as
a model to the world at large; by pro?
posing, as President Taft announced
Ills Intention to do, arbitration treaties

rope. Hut you can do it in a direct
way through the voice of '.our eloquent
leaders. Americans should come over
to Europe sind enlighten public opinion
on a subject on which we have so much
t" learn from you. Should your fore?
most men undertake this task; should
they awaken by a personal Impres?
sion of their thoroughness and by their
stirring eloquence the Intellectual
leaders or Europe from tho lethargy

may be affected."

"While a reciprocity .agreement lim?

an agreement should be really com?

larger had the Dominion reached tie
stage of industrial development in

Special Kcgnrd for Farmer?.
Special regard for "the great class
of agricultural producers,'! for tho
market offered by Canada to this
country and the market aiforded bj
the United States to Canada, and for
?"the legitimate expansion of our manu?
facturing Industries" was given dur?
ing the recent negotiations, added Mr.
Knox, in explaining the reductions on
all classes of agricultural Implements; J
the tree admission of cottonseed oil
into Canada, the exemption from duty i
of all fruits and vegetables and other.i
agricultural products, of which some |
sections have a surplus at certain
seasons. The benefits are generally I
distributed, in Mr. Knox's opinion, and I
"no permanent injury to any produc- |
lng class is apprehended."
Speaking of the provision for frecj
wheat, Mr. Knox pointed but that the |
transportation facilities of the United,
States for handling tin- surplus Cana?
dian crop must be taken inte? account,
thus preventing "the demoralization of
prices which results through the dump?
ing of larger quantities, upon the Euro?
pean markets, where the world's supply;
is fixed." lie declared that the free ad?
mission of grain from Canada would
meet the present situation and place the
control in the hands of the American
grain growers.
"The principal complaints agninst tho
measure," continued Mr. Knox, "como
from tit" politicians who have: been en?
deavoring to persuade tho farmer that
bis interest in the protective tariff is
based on the tariffs on agricultural pro. |
duels. . rather than upon tho generali
prospority of the country, or they are
heard from some local special interest, i
"It Is significant bow little is said ]
about who got the best of the bargain.
The general observation is one of grati?
fication that the arnngement is bene?
ficial to both countries. The breadth
and unselfish nature of the agreement
has .surmised and gladdened the friends
of good relations between the coun?
tries and disconcerted those upon both
sides of the line who expected a horse
trader's bargain.
Opposition Klltlle.
"A generous measure of reciprocity
between Canada and the United States
is but a natural expression of their
interdependence. Efforts to restrain,
hamper and interfere with its realiza?
tion will be as futile and unprofitable
as were the early ruinous trade wars
between the States.
"The reasons for reciprocity are very
real and striking .and bug lit to lift the
Consideration of the result of the re?
cent negotiations to a high plane and
large-minded comprehension of the
greater reasons; and motives of human
and national relations and rise above
the mere balancing of trade advan?
tages."
KIM la for II.
Mr. Hill raid in p;irt: "There ought
not to be one vote in Congress or one
voice, in the country against an ar?
rangement worth more than armies and
havles, more in dollars and cents than
the acquisition of other markets, for
which we are prepared tri spend huge
sums. Every man in public, life either
kiio.vs or does not know the true value
and ?licet of reciprocity. If he does j
not Know, he is nor lit for the. respon?
sibility he assumes. If he does know,
and yet opposes, he is willing to sac?
rifice" the most Important interests of
his couptry and to close the greatest
opportunity open to It In years, for tho
sake of some private political advan-i
tage which he believes can he won by
pandering to Ignorant prejudice. Every
such man should In: publicly judged,
condemned ami sent to the rear.
"Offering as it does large and certain
advantages to both counties, the treaty
should be accepted with substantial
unanimity and universal rejoicing;
"Any opposition [,> a project so ad?
vantageous to the American people is
so extraordinary that the nature nnd
cause of It should be considered first.
It comes from three sources, two of
which may ho summarily disposed of.
Stich.of the monopolistic combinations
as find their power to overcharge' the
people Imperiled by reciprocity are nat
urally against It. The lumber interest,
more liberally treated in the new tariff
act than was nt.cessnry, protests,
against cheaper building material for
our own people, The paper combine,
once dissolved by order of the Federal
court, and now and always under sus?
picion, dares to appear at Washington
to light the treaty. Those and all sim?
ilar objectors are entitled to no consid?
eration."
Mr. Hill then discussed the advan

many ami substantial, ami that n<>

(FOREWORD)
i
Cyrus Field had a
hard time persuading
capitalists to build the
Great Eastern, but
when with her he suc?
ceeded in laying the
Great Atlantic Cable
the whole world called
him a wise and a great
man.
Is it not a pity that
in these enlightened
days people are still
slow of persuasion.
I
In the West some
time ago a whole house
was built in one day.
In the South (not to
be outdone) only last
year a church was erect?
ed and services held in
the building in the same
|day. i
We can't build a big
hotel in a day, but we
can make a record
breaker as to time!
