Divergent Views on
Peace by Academicians
WALTER LIPPMANN, editor of
the New "Republic and 'friend of
President Wilson:
The success of the submarine
would give Germany victory.
If the democracies are to be safe,
they must' co-operate.
America has abandoned its isola-
tion'
The very thing Germany chal
lenged, she has established, a society
of nations.
The Allies are fighting for a fed
eration of the world.
SIMON N. PATTEN, University
of Pennsylvania professor and paci
fist: Seven billion dollars given by
America to destroy could be better
used to elevate world.
Peace worth seven times seven
billion.
Altruistic efforts needed; not guns
and soldiers.
HENRY A. WISE WOOD, pre
paredness advocate:
Commerce not safeguarded by
treaties; superior power necessary.
Must be respected for our deter
mination to support with force rights
of humblest of our people. .
Must maintain our place as first
producer and regain maritime su
premacy. Strons pleas for realization that the world
war Is a fight waged by democracies against
Prussian autocracy were made today at the
epenlng session of' the Academy of Political
and Social Science, held at tlio Bollcvue
Strctford. Walter LIppmann, editor of the New Re
public and Influential, so It Is' hinted In
eome quarters. In shaping the foreign policy
of the Wilson Adimnlstratlon, said that the
democracies of tho world are at war be-
cause they want peace.
"By striking at the basis of all Interna
tlonal order," said Mr. LIppmann, "Ger
many convinced even thte most Isolated of
neutrals that order must be presened by
common effort. By denying that a society
of 'nations exists, a society of nations has
been, forced Into existence. Tho very thing
Germany challenged Oermany has estab
lished." ' Mr., LIppmann said that before tho start
of the war In 1914 only tho most radical
dreamers .even dared to hope for a federa
tion of nations, the orthodox view being
that each nation had its qwti destiny; t:at
each nation keep .virtually to itself. Tt -in
Germany demonstrated, ho explained;'! .o
doctrine of competitive') nationalism and
taught the world Just where tho doctrine
leads.
"Democracies, If they arc to bo safe," ho
continued, "must co-operate. For tho old
rivalries mean friction and nrmament and
a .distortion of all the hopes of free gov
ernment. They mean that nations uro or
ganized to exploit each other and to ex
ploit themselves. That Is tho llfo of au
tocracy." AUTOCRACY DEFINED
"Autocracy," said Mr. LIppmann, "estab
lishes its power at home by pointing to
nemles abroad. It fights Its enemies abroad
by dragooning the population at homo."
The side of peace, whether Germany Is
concerned or not, was championed by Dr,
Simon N. Patten, of the University of Penn
sylvania faculty, who was not reappointed
for the coming term, according to one
theory, because of his pacifist Ideas. Doc
tor Patten outlined a supernatlonalism in
which peace was predominant Ills original
address was cast aside, to bo read, how
ever, In the minutes of tho Academy, and
he spoke extemporaneously, , a
"It seems to me," said Doctor Patten,
"that the 7, 000, 006,000 given by this coun
try to destroy could bo better used to ele
vate the world. We would gladly glvo seven
times that amount to secure peace. What
Is needed is altruism, not guns or soldiers."
Views of Doctor Patten, as expressed In
his original speech, were that peace could
only be obtained by universal homo rule;
that all decisions -must be made by popular
vote; that there must be freedom of the
leas; that no nation should be allowed to
place an export tax on raw material ; ttfat
the tropical countries be divided equally
among commercial nations.
'The world needs not a dictator," said
Doctor Patten, "but some nation that lives
up to the superstandard and thus shows the
possibility of a peaceful progress. If we
are to convert the world to our view, I
would prefer to send missionaries rather
than Bonders. It Is tho mlsfortuno of Amer
ica that our sympathies have overridden
ur reason'."
"Peace through victory," Doctor Patten
declared, "must of necessity be an enforced
peace. Peace without force means a yield
ing of the strong, not submission of the
weak. Nations need forgiveness rather
than punishment. Battleships and machine
tuns cannot do what simpler forces do
through the radiating influence of comrnd
hlp and good will."
Although Doctor Patten's talk was not
his original and there was one other mem
Mr of the academy with paclflstlc views
ho also side-tracked his original talk),

'Tho recent document of Wilson in ie

That statement was imufo by Klerv C.

Professor Ktouell bellees tho ttmd has

'Theic was neer a war so noblv cn

and the time will come If another such

Disclaiming his woids ns n prophecy,
1'iofcssor Stowell announced he bcliccd

into a dualism not Into a fedciatlon of

In dualism as a natural system, "becauso

there must be some binding tie between the
groups."
iuoh rn.usE Foit wn.sox
High praise for President Wilson In giv
ing the country a new world policy In en
tering the war for the purely Ideal end of
helping make the wot Id safe for democracy
was given In the address on "Pax Ameri
cana," by Dr. a. W. Klrchwey, of New
York.
"We hac abandoned our pioud isolation,
which has given us tho peace of Cain, to
Sight for a woild peace, not a world truce,
and we cannot lend ourseles to terms of
settlement which will have In them tho
seeds of future wars.
"The minimum program on which wo
must Insist should Include the convocation
of u third Hague Conference at the close of
the war, the formation of a judicial union
of nations pledging their good faith to sub
mit to tho findings of such a court and the
creatlton of an International council of con
ciliation," Speaking on "Planning tho Future Ameri
ca." Henry A. Wise Wood, of New York,
said that we must maintain our place as
one of tho world's greatest producers of
food and raw materials, Increase our In
dustrial activities and lecovcr our former
maritime supremacy and becomo tho
woild's chief sea carrier.
"Wo now rco that no nation can carry
tho commerce of the world in one hand,
and an empty blunderbuss In the other,"
ho said. "Commerco ran no more bo safe
guarded by treaties than can a trensuro
by a copy or the Eighth Commandment
pasted upon the door of tho vault which
holds It.
"Wo nok know that no one but the, well
Intcntloned respects treaty or command
ment ; that tho Ill-intentioned respects only
superior power. We therefore must hold
supei lor- power. Wo must be respected not
only because of our intellectual and ma
terial usefulness to our neighbor nations,
but also becauso of our ability, our- readi
ness and our determination to support
with force tho rights even of tho humblest
of our people, bo those rights assailed by
a nation little or big.

her personal property, amounting to nearly
J20.00D, was In Atlantic City. Her husband

In his decision Judge Shlnn declares It
is his opinion Coatesworth was domiciled
In New Toik.
