HONOLULU T H Oct 19 —
The limitation of armaments is not
a definite step towards peace ac-
cording to Dr Roberto Brenes Mes-
on of 8yrocuse University and rorm
er Costa Rican minister ' to Wash-
ington who addressed - the Press
Congress of tbe World here today
“It is a step towards the econom-
ic welfare ot the nations upon
whose1 capacities 'of production und
thriving direct end indirect taxes of
every description weight enormous-
ly aggravated by the need of main-
taining permanent armies and the
Incessant renovation ot armaments”
Dr Mesen added
“But war is not tho outcome of
any accumulation of weapons he
said “but of misuuderstandlng of
tho international interests of na-
tions territorial interests boundary
or colonial-industrial racial or In-
stitutional interests Paucity of
armamentu does not determine
peace It is a stute of consciousness
of the nations which engenders
wars which insinuates the conven-
ience of taking up ttrins which
inflates the budgets of the slates
Wars as all other events produced
by man take birth in the depths
of his thought and liis conscious-
ness The enlightened thought of man
and the Illumined heart of wo-
man will determine the permanent
peace as their obscureness has gen-
erated numberless wars which have
instilled doubt concerning the moral
health of nations
“Therefore the Institutions which
educate the consciousness of Indi-
viduals those that inform the
thought of the people und those
that rule their destinies nre di-
rectly and Indirectly responsible for
the state ot inlnd of nations which
fling themselves Into war or which
propose peace
“Is there any institution which
educates the thought of limn more
extensively or more powerfully
than the one represented by this
Press Congress of the World?”

withdrawn from Kansas miners”
Mr Nesbitt saljf “The only thing
we have done is to transfer the
physical cash from the state ot Kan-
sas to Illinois The money is now in
our hands but our support is still
with Kansas”
The reason for transferring the
money Mr Nesbitt said was be-
cause Thomas Harvey provisional
secretary-treasurer of the Kansas
district Is opposed to Howat and
his fight agalust Governor Allen
“We didn’t want our money in
the hands of a man from the oth-
er camp We prefer to have charge
of it ourselves” he said
