AVOID RADICAL « CHANGES IN RULES OF ARBITRATION Lake Mohonk Conference Con siders Unsettled International Affairs in Platform MANY ARE DISAPPOINTED Taft's League Given No En-1 couragcment; It's Oppon ents Displeased, Too By Associated Press Mohonk X. Y., May 19.—The resolutions committee of the Lake Mo- 1 honk Conference on International Ar- j bitration to-day showed its appre- i elation of the unsettled condition of i international affairs by presenting a! platform which avoided any radical | recommendations and confined itself l to carefully worded approval of Ihe ■ general principle of arbitration. The j platform proved a disappointment to j members of the League to Enforce) Peace, headed by ex-President William i H. Taft, presiding officer of the con ference. But it also offered no encour agement to the opponents to enforce peace, led by William J. Bryan. The platform follows: "The world conditions of the past two years have confirmed the belief' often expressed in these conferences 1 that arbitration and judicial methods [ should and must increasingly prevail in settling international disputes. "During the twentieth century (he! permanent court at The Hague has acted upon cases involving questions ; relating to Europe. Asia. Africa, the • islands of the Pacific and the three Americas. These questions involved financial and territorial claims and such fundamental matters as the right to fly the national flag and to exercise jurisdiction over national military forces. These facts are clear testi mony to the development of m bi- j tration. » Wants Congress to Act "The tendency of this court at The j Hague to become in reality perma- i nent is evident from the fact that ! ihere are eight judges who have sat in spven of the eases. "The conference expresses again Its firm belief in the desirability of such | legislation by Congress as will confer I upon the courts of the United States jurisdiction over all cases arising under j treaty provisions or affecting the rights j of aliens. The speakers this morning wore j Ignacio Calderon. Bolivian minister to the I'ntied States; William P. Bor land. member of ''ongress from Mis souri: the Rev. Charles E. Jefferson, pastor of the Broadway Tabernacle, *4New York: Dr. Ernest O. Nelson, for merly director-general of secondary industrial and commercial education of Argentina, and Walter S.
