Show PEACE MEETING OF UTAH TEACHERS Salt Lake. Nov. 24 Speaking be fore 3000 Utah school teachers and their friends at a 1 peace meeting" last night In the Assembly hall Nephl L. Morris of Sail Lake uttered a vigorous protest against a neutrality policy which suffered the neutrality of Bel-glum Bel-glum to be violated. "I trust I will not be placed In the attitude of criticising our national administration, ad-ministration, whic h has our universal confidence." said Mr Morris "but I wish to say that I do not believe In a timid neutrality, which binds the mouth. When Belgium's neutrality was broken the other strictly neutral countries did not protest There should have been protests against It from every civilized country Peace treaties and neutrality treaties should be enforced; there should be sufficient suffi-cient authority behind them to Insure In-sure thetir enforcement About the only solution I see 16 an international police force, if you please the combined com-bined armies and navies constituted to compel international peace."
