Tho New York City Pence society, organized three years ago and backed financially by Andrew Carnegie, its president, who is an avowed anti-armament peace advocate. The. Pennsylvania Peace society, organized or-ganized in J00S, as an outgrowth of the Universal Peace union, which has been established at Philadelphia for over forty years. There is a young but strong pro-armament pro-armament peace society, the American Peace and Arbitration league, organized in J003, of which Roosevelt, Taft aud Dewey aro the honorary presidents, and ex-United Slates Senator James B. MeCreary active president. Half a dozen United States senators, an equal number of congressmen and a number of eminent educators, .jurists and business busi-ness men constitute the board of directors direc-tors of this league. Must Harmonize Societies. The recently nppointcd commitleo will have before it Lhe problom of harmonizing har-monizing societies of such divergent views that oven the acknowledged ability abil-ity of Senator Root, a mombcr of the committee, can hardlybo expected to accomplish the desired results. It would be as easy to harmonize Democrats and Republicans as lo unite extreme anti-armament anti-armament peace advocates with the directors of the American Pcaco anil Arbitration leaguo who are .strongly in favor of adequate (imminent and effective ef-fective arbitration as correlative agencies agen-cies for national security and for internal in-ternal ional peace and justice. liut it i'J entriely practical to fiud out the points upon which all peace societies arc agreed and lo arrange for concerted action along those lines, however how-ever widely some of tho bocioties may differ on other questions, and consequently conse-quently bo brought into conflict where these issues aro involved. |
