FORD PEACE PARTY'S EFFORTS j
By Telegraph-Press Association-Copyright
Stockholm, March 12. A conference of representatives of the United States, Holland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland, arising out of the Ford Peace Expedition, has issued an appeal to neutral Governments, to call an official conference with the view of hastening a just and permanent peace.
The manifesto says"lt is nearly two years since tlie most dreadful catastrophe of the human race fell upon Europe. The opposing • Powers are about equal in e>trength. Both claim inexhaustible reserves of men and wealth. Therefore, no human foresight can tell when hostilities will end. Some people believe that Europe is plunging into an abyss. - If it is possible, by making an effort, to shorten the war by a single day, to save millions of lives, would not the effort be worth trying? History will severely judge neutrajs if they. romain mere spectators of this gigantic, heroic struggle."
