President Roosevelt is pleased to be named Honorary President of the American Peace and Arbitration League. He approves of the League’s “practical program for peace,” which involves both ensuring the nation has adequate defenses, as well as striving for arbitration of international disputes. Should Hayne Davis not continue as president of the League, he would like to see Senator James B. McCreary in that position.
