Au uste M. F. Beernaert, the
elgian Minister 0 State, presided. In his opening address M. Beernaert said that despite the rapid progress of the cause of arbitration and mediation the world was livin in a regime of armed peace, with 14,000, men under arms at a cost annually of $1,000, 0O0,000. The conference avoided direct action upon Secretary Knox’s proposition to confer the powers of a Court of Arbitral Justice upon the International Prize Court, because the convention creating the latter on Oct. 18, 1907, has not yet been ratified.
Instead the
conference unanimously adopted a resolution which, while "rendering homage to the senti ments which inspired the American proposi tion," simply urged the powers to ratify promptly the treaty "independently of any question concerning the o nization of a permanent court of arbitra justice." The resolution introduced by Congressman Richard Bartholdt of Missouri, chairman of the Ameri can delegation, instructing each national dele gation to urge its respective Parliament to piss resolutions in favor of a third Hague nferenw in 1915, was adopted.
