MISS JANE ADDAMS ON PEACE

Miss Jane Addams, of Hull House, Chicago, while speaking in the Union last evening on "International Peace" urged that it was particularly fitting that this country, the parent of religious and national toleration, should be the champion of mediation without armistice. She proposed that a conference of the representatives of the warring nations be contrived, and that a complete statement of their differences with their respective maximum peace terms be ascertained. Then would we have tangible material with which to work, and the germs from which might grow a clearer view of the situation, and correspondingly simpler methods of bringing peace. What we need is world loyalty, and views of economic and social relations that embrace not the areas of nations but the expanse of planets. Now is the time for enlightened public opinion, particularly youthful public opinion, to show its power and to offset the terrors of the intense emotionalism of illiteracy and mistaken loyalty.
