through national reasons, partly because people of high circumstance will rise above this great superstition. He did not mean the conquest of Europe by the loaning of money from Wall Street, although a good deal of Europe has been conquered in that way. He did not mean the conquest of the shopping multitudes at the Bon Marche', nor the conquest of Europe by the long array of people that come across here and go back with American wives and at the same time with American gold. What is meant is the conquest of Europe by American ideals. These are two. One is internationalism. This audience is made up of all the people of Europe. Practically there is no race in Europe not represented. A gentleman on the train the other day said to me, in speaking of America: "It is in America that all hatred dies. My father was a German and my mother was a French woman, but what do I care for all that. I am an American. All hatred dies here." Nobody in this audience cares particularly whether the person next to him is from Germany, France, Scandinavia, or what country of Europe he may have come from. This is the land. where all these traditions are gone. Under our flag all hatred dies away.

Secondly, besides this internationalism there comes the idea of democracy, the ideal of man. Now democracy and militarism can not get along together. Democracy means peace. Democracy and militarism in all its forms are opposed one to the other. So in asking for the conquest of Europe by the ideals of internationalism and democracy we mean the conquest of Europe by peace. The peace of Europe must come from the nation which has, with Canada and England partly, helped maintain for a hundred years a four thousand mile boundary along which there has not been a fortification or a warship or a soldier or a gun-where nobody is loaded and nobody explodes. That is what we mean by peace. (Continued applause.)

PRESIDENT BARTHOLDT:

The questions which you have heard discussed here will be decided in the Congress of the United States. How can you make your influence felt? A member of Congress is usually a politician. He listens to advice from home. But if one man or the other man singly or separately merely writes.

him that has not very much influence. If an organization like the Missouri Peace Society demands of him to vote thus and so, then the cause of peace will be more substantially subserved. Of course, you do not have to send me a petition of that kind, because I would rather champion the cause which appeals to the hearts of mothers and to the intellect of man, I would rather carry the white flag of peace than be President of the United States. (Applause.)

Now, the Chair declares the Fourth American Peace Congress adjourned sine die. May the seed which has been sown here grow and prosper in the interest of the great cause of a more enduring peace. (Great applause.)

SUNDAY AFTER THE CONGRESS

Sunday, following the Peace Congress, was made notable by the presence of delegates in the pulpits of many of the St. Louis churches. At Liederkranz Hall a German-American mass meeting was held. President Bartholdt presided. An address in German was delivered by Dr. Ernst Richard. The following resolution presented by the German-American Peace Society, of which Dr. Richard is president, and approved by the Fourth American Peace Congress, was distributed:

Resolved, That the Fourth American Peace Congress recommends to all Peace Societies and friends of international peace the study and discussion of the following question:

1. Whether an amendment should be proposed to the Constitution of the United States forbidding Congress to enter into any war except in case of failure of an honest effort to submit the question involved to arbitration and except in case of attack of our frontiers or coasts by hostile army or navy.

2. Whether legislation should be enacted making it obligatory that every treaty to which the United States of America is a contracting party shall contain a clause which provides that all differences arising in regard to such treaty as to its interpretation and execution shall be submitted to the Hague Tribunal for arbitration.

3.

Whether legislation should be enacted forbidding the solicitation of subscriptions to war loans of foreign nations in the United States.

4. Whether the United States government should open negotiations with other nations for the conclusion of treaties pledging the contracting parties to mutually recognize their national independence, their territorial integrity, and their absolute sovereignty in domestic affairs, and whether a clause to this effect should be made a part of all treaties concluded by the United States.
