...Cornell Conference on International Relations which begins today offers courses of lectures which should broaden and deepen the view of any man, pacifist or militarist, in regard to the most fundamental and far-reaching problems of our times. The predominant tone of the Conference will be anti-militarist; but Congressman Gardner and General Wood will be present to give their views in favor of preparedness. It is the duty of men of all shades of opinion to acquire the greatest possible insight into the ideas of the thinkers who are giving all their time and energy to working...
