New York Times 100 years ago today, May 15, 1913:
Lord Norton Says England, America and Germany Could Prevent War.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
LONDON, Thursday, May 15.— Lord Norton, in a letter to The Morning Post, apropos of the Anglo-American peace centenary, urges the co-operation of England, the United States, and Germany for the preservation of international peace.
After pointing out that the three nation are of one blood and lineage, Lord Norton says:
"The bloated armaments at the present time are the curse of the world. Peace cannot be insured without some armaments to enforce arbitration, but England, the United States, and Germany, with far less bloated armaments, could examine all international disputes and arbitrate so as to avert all appeals to force.
"Surely next year there is a golden opportunity for the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes to be hauled up on one mast and to offer to include the Eagle of Germany in the cause of lasting arbitration for the peace of the whole world.
"International quarrels there must ever be, but England, the United States, and Germany can, if they will, say war shall be no more. A heavy responsibility rests on the statesmen of the three nations to find out a way."
