PRESERVING PEACE.
COLLECTIVE ACTION. AN AMERICAN’S APPEAL. (United Press Association —Copyright.) WASHINGTON, April 27. Mr H. L. Stimson, who was Secretary of War under President Taft and Secretarv of State under President Hoover,' addressing the American Society of International Law, deprecated the present agitation t° maintain peace for America through neutrality. ' He declared that the only certain way to achieve that object was to prevent war through the collective action of nations. “We should formally let the world know that, in case of anything arising which affected or threatened 1 the peace of the world, we should be ready to consult with other nations as to steps for preserving peace and, should we concur with them as to the responsibility for any breach of the peace which they may hereafter seek' to terminate by collective action, that we will at least refrain from any steps by our Government for the protection of our neutral trade which would tend, to defeat their efforts for restoring peace,” said Mr Stimson.
