MR. BRYAN'S CAMPAIGN. I HOW HE WOULD BRING PEACE. New York, Juno 21. Mr, Bryan, in elaborating the reasons for his resignation, outlines a plan for the restoration of peace. He argues that neutral nations should crystallisq their sentiment in favor of peace into a coercive force and offer mediation, either jointly or severally; that the warring nations should join in a treaty providing for "investigation by a permanent international commission of every dispute arising, and that the advocates of peace should undertake a world-wide educational movement to cultivate a spirit of brotherhood among nations, He holds that peace could be restored at any time, now if the participants are really weary of the war. If any nation is not ready let its rulers state in clear and definite terms the conditions on which they are willing to accept peace; then the continuance of the war will be chargeable against those making unusual demands. He declares that it is the duty of the United States to discard all ceremony and proffer mediation until her oiler or so'me other is accepted. Mr. Bryan, addressing a Labor peace meeting, attacked Messrs Eoosevelt and Taft as leaders and sponsors of an organisation standing for force in international affairs, which is inimical to the true interests of the United States,
