Show WORKING FOR LASTING PEACE. Former President Taft Outlines Objects Ob-jects of Peace League. Washington. The League to Enforce En-force Peace, formed a year ago In Independence In-dependence hall at Philadelphia, with the aim of securing a lasting world peace at the close of the European war, held its first annual meeting here Friday and heard its president, William Wil-liam H. Taft, and other men prominent promi-nent in the country's affairs, state the purposes of the organization and outline out-line what it hopes to accomplish. Slight reference was made to ending end-ing the present war. The league's determination to confine con-fine its efforts to establishing a permanent per-manent peace for the future was described de-scribed by Mr. Taft as developing from a belief that a definite purpose, with limitations, was more likely to be realized than if the league essayed too much. |
