Mr. Ford's peace mission has reached the climax of futility
which was generally foreseen. Mr. Ford's health seems to have given way, and, leaving his party behind, he is returning to America. It is said that he has offered a large sum of money to build a peace palace at Stockholm. The peace party hoped to visit belligerent countries, but as they have failed to obtain passports it seems that there is nothing for' them to do but to follow Mr. Ford back to the United States. It is perhaps too much to hope that they will at last -understand that peace is not created by talking peace. If Mr. Ford would spend his money in research in order to find out how Germany can be persuaded, or compelled, to keep international pledges, he would be planning a far more imposing peace palace than any he has yet imagined.
