THE INDIA RUBBER WORLD 



SENATOR COLT DELIVERS A NOTABLE ADDRESS. 



SKXA TOR LI- HAROX C COl.T. Iimther of Col. S. P. Cnh, 

 president of the United States Rubber Co., delivered an 

 address at the Rhode Island Fair held at Kingston in that State, 

 September 16. which has received much attention from the press 

 of New lingland. It was an adniiraide interpretation of tlie gen- 

 eral feeling now pervading the u liole country regarding the main- 

 tenance of peace coincident with a thorough preparation for war. 



The senator, naturally, from his long years on the bench, takes 

 a judicial view of all questions, and he believes that international 

 disputes are quite as susceptible of peaceful settlement as dis- 

 putes between individuals: and in substantiation of this view he 

 cited the century of peaceful solution of all questions that have 

 arisen between the United States and Canada. He also called 

 attention to the advanced gr.nmd tliat the United States has 

 taken in the matter of sul'mitting international questions to arbi- 

 tration, but he admitted that the time had not yet arrived when a 

 nation's good will towards its neighbors could constitute a suffi- 

 cient defence. The following paragraphs give a very fair idea of 

 the senator's general viewpoint: 



"The United States and Canada for the past hundred years 

 have settled all controversies, some of them of a grave character, 

 bv arbitration. In this instanci- ... ihmhi .mil usage liave ripened 

 into a habit, the effect being iliii li-tli ciuntries have reached 

 such a frame of mind that it i- 'litl'. 'ili i.. c..nceive of a dispute 

 between the two countries wliicli Uk\ w.iuld not be willing to 

 arbitrate. When all nations have reached this frame of mind. 

 war will cease. 



"The United States should take just pride in its efforts for 

 more than a century in behalf of peace, justice and good will 

 among the nations of the earth. It has led the movement for 

 arbitration, f.jr the rights of neutrals, for the inviolability of 

 private property in maritime warfare, for the amelioration of the 

 laws of war, and for the estaldishment of a truly international 

 court of justice modelled on our Supreme Court. 



"But today we are confronted by present conditions which we 

 cannot escape from — the intense spirit of nationality, uncertain 

 rules of international law and an imperfect system of arbitral 

 justice — and while these conditions exist we are only following 

 the dictates of reason and common sense when we insist that this 

 country should be reasonably prepared for war."' 



MB. STEDMAN BACK AGAIN. 



The news that .\rthur W. Stedman is back in llie rubber ira'le 

 will be received with much satisfaction by his hosts of friends. 

 As of yore, Mr. Stedman's particular line will be crude rubber. 

 With offices in Boston and Xew York and excellent connections. 

 his success is assured. As he states it, his business is to be "strictly 

 commission," and the emphasis that he lays upon the "strictly" leads 

 one to believe that he will live up to it. Mr. Stedman's Boston 

 ■ ilfice is at 73 Beverly street.
