Your Excellencies, Gentlemen : 



Ten years have elapsed since the Permanent Court of International 

 Arbitration has been established by the first Conference of the Peace 

 which has met under the reign of a glorious and all beloved Queen in 

 this charming to-,vn. 



16 In those few years already this novel institution has done 

 a great deal of good all over the world. It has shown that, 



instead of appealing to brute force with all its casualties, cruelties, 

 and injustices, differences, important differences between mighty 

 States may be adjusted according to the laws of equity, justice, and 

 humanity.
