MR. BRYAN'S PEACE CRUSADE
THE METIER OF NEUTRAL' NATIONS.
New York, Juno 21. Mr. W. J. Bryan, in elaborating tho reasons for his resignation, outlines a plan for the restoration of peace. He argues that neutral nations should crystalliso the sentiment in favour of peace into a coercive force, and oifer mediation either jointly or severally; that tho warring nations should join in a treaty, providing for an investigation by a permanent international commission of every dispute arising; and that an advocate of peace should undertake a world-wide educational movement to cultivato the spirit of brotherhood of tho nations. Mr. Bryan holds that peace could be restored at any time now if the participants are really weary of war. If any nation is not ready to let its rulers state in clear, definite terms the conditions on which they are willing to accept peace, then the continuance of the war should be chargeable to those making unusual demands. Ho declares that jt is the duty of tho United States to discard all ceremony and proffer mediation until its, or some other, offer is accepted. Mr. Bryan, in addressing a. labour meeting, attacked Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft as the leaders and sponsors of nn organisation standing for force in international affairs, which was inimical to tho true interests of the United States.
