• O 1 UAEiO IvllVlV. Philadelphia, Pa. 
the same story, that the ruins and 
remnants of Crete show an extraordi¬ 
nary degree of civilization in that land 
four or five thousand years ago. And 
yet these civilizations, so advanced, so 
perfected, had so completely disap¬ 
peared that it is only the work of scien¬ 
tific observers in the last few years 
that has brought any trace of their 
existence to light. 
“But I take the case of Rome. I 
agree we know more about Rome than 
we do about Egypt and Crete. But I 
do not think that it is realized how far 
Roman civilization had advanced. I 
was told the other day that when, in 
1835, the English Minister, Sir Robert 
Peel, was summoned hastily from Rome 
to create a government in my country 
he took precisely the same tiine, no 
more, no less, than a Roman Emperor 
would have taken in performing the 
same journey 1,700 years earlier. Yet 
the Roman civilization perished, bar¬ 
barism recovered occupation of the 
whole of Europe, and the condition of 
my country and of the greater part, if 
not the whole, of European countries 
relapsed so that that civilization be¬ 
came a mere dream and memory. 
Why Rome Perished 
“It is said often that Rome perished 
by reason of the invasion of the bar¬ 
barism round her borders. Ladies and 
gentlemen, there is no truth in that de¬ 
lusion. Rome perished because the sec¬ 
tions and nations which made up the 
Roman Empire were unable to keep 
from fighting with one another, and 
they destroyed the Roman structure 
and the barbarians merely came in to 
the scene of the crime after it had 
been committed. Rome committed sui¬ 
cide, let us take care that our civiliza¬ 
tion does not commit suicide also. 
“And if we are to work for real 
peace, a real established peace, be well 
assured that we have no security for 
its permanence unless • we succeed in 
limiting and reducing the armaments 
of the world. There is no use to hope 
that there is any real security for per¬ 
manent peace so. long as the nations 
stand on one side or the other of their 
border armed to the teeth for aggres¬ 
sive warfare. Every one agrees to that 
not only in this country, but practically 
all over the world. There is no dis¬ 
senting voice, they all say armaments- 
should be reduced; and yet at this 
moment no reduction has taken place 
in the aggregate. 
“Some of the great nations have re¬ 
duced to some extent their numbers 
from just before the war, but other 
great nations, and other nations not so 
great, but just as warlike, called into 
existence by the peace, have each in¬ 
sisted on their armed establishment, 
and in spite of the fact that Germany 
has very largely been disarmed, I am 
told that the net amount of armed men 
in Europe is greater than it was before 
the late war. 
An Economic Drain 
“That is not only a very serious thing 
for the cause of peace ultimately, but 
it constitutes an economic drain on the 
resources of Europe much too much for 
her in her present condition and which 
it can ill affetrd to bear, and the worst 
of it is that grmaments breed arma¬ 
ments. If one epuntry is armed, the 
next country is armed. If one increases 
its armament, the next country in¬ 
creases its armament. We read some¬ 
times in the papers of terrible cases of 
human beings who have become ad¬ 
dicted to some of these horriule drugs, 
morphine, cocaine or the like, and they 
go on taking more and more of i.hem 
until they are ruined body and Soul. 
We call them drug maniacs. Ladies 
and gentlemen, I fear very milch that 
there are some armament maniacs left 
among the nations of the world. 
“We who really seriously desire 
peace, who are not only talking abouf 
it, but wish to do something for it, let 
us consider for a moment what is the 
cause of this horrible state of things. 
Well, ladies and gentlemen, the disease 
is a fearful one, but luckily, the diag¬ 
nosis is simple. What keeps alive 
armaments is one thing, and one thing 
only. It is the fear and suspicion of 
the nations for one another. It is the 
bottom of most’ of the troubles that 
afflict our world at the present time. 
Well, what is the remedy for that? 
Why, the remedy is simple enough, at 
any rate simple enough to pronounce. 
We must have a new spirit in interna¬ 
tional afffairs. 
“We must get rid of the idolatry of 
force. We must get the nations to rec¬ 
ognize—and many, many millions of 
them do recognize it that it is not force 
that counts in human affairs, but rea¬ 
son and persuasion. We all recognize 
that in our individual capacity. Force 
does not count in our individual lives. 
It is not in motive that really has any 
importance for us. If we look at the 
great organization of a city like this, 
the peculiar arrangements are not the 
result of force. It is not that you or 
those who live here are afraid of vio¬ 
lence if they do not conform to the 
usages of civilized society. They do it 
voluntarily. The vast mass of their 
actions, the vast number of those pro¬ 
ceedings which make life in a great city 
or life in the country possible, tolerable, 
for those who live there. Why, there 
is nothing more powerful in the world 
than the public opinion of your fellows. 
It governs your dress, it governs what 
you eat, it governs what you play at; 
it governs almost everything you do 
from our business to your pleasure, 
from morning until evening. 
“It is public opinion which governs, 
next to your self-respect and your own 
judgment of what is right; it is public 
opinion that governs you throughout 
the whole of your life. And what is 
true with individuals is true, or ought 
to be true, with nations, provided you 
take the proper steps to concentrate, 
develop and publish public opinion 
throughout the world, so that a nation 
bent on a desperate effort to assassi¬ 
nate its neighbor will be restrained by 
the obloquy of the whole civilized world. 
And the first condition that is necessary 
for that is to’ get rid of these vast 
threatening large armaments which 
prevent the full course of public opinion 
throughout the world. 
What Conditions are Necessary? 
“Well, now, what are the conditions 
which are necessary to fulfill if you are 
to induce the nations of the world to 
disarm? You have no great land arma¬ 
ments in this country. Why? Because 
you are not threatened by any neigh¬ 
bors who desire to attack you—oh, not 
seriously threatened! If you could get 
the same state of mind in Europe you 
would get the same result. If you 
could say to the nations of Europe; 
‘Don’t be afraid. There is no real 
danger. You may sleep quietly in your 
beds. You may put off once for all this 
vast burden of armaments. You may 
cease to create dangers for your neigh¬ 
bors on the effort to create safety for 
yourself.’ 
“And you must do that by saying to 
nations, when we ask them to disarm: 
We will give you security which will 
enable you to dispense with armaments. 
I believe that can be done. I believe 
that, take a continent, a quarter of the 
globe, like Europe, if all the nations 
there were to agree that if each of 
them reduced their armaments to an 
agreed amount, all of them would come 
to the assistance of any one of them 
who was attacked-—just think what a 
splendid advance that would be! It 
would rule out aggTessive attack for¬ 
ever. Aggressive attack would be so 
dangerous that no nation would ever 
undertake it. 
Get Rid of Aggression 
“If you get rid of aggression, you get 
I’id of war, because war must begin by 
aggression on one side or the other. I 
am firmly convinced that an arrange¬ 
ment of that kind in Europe would be 
of enormous advantage, and I would 
like to see as part of that arrangement 
an agreement among the nations, at 
any rate among the nations who felt 
themselves in danger of attack, that 
there should be a zone between nation 
and nation, demilitarized and made in¬ 
capable of being used without delay 
and preparation for the advance of an 
invading army, so that the guaranty 
offered to them by other nations in 
Europwould become effective before 
it was. too late. That is the kind of 
scheme by which I think security might 
be given.
