(Received March 24, 10.50 p.m.) NEW YORK, March 24
President Taft, speaking at -the banquet of the Peace -and Arbitration 'League at New York, said that, though in favor of universal peace and arbitration, even as regards -matters affecting the- national honor, he thought there was nothing inconsistent in urging Congress to build two battleships annually until the Panama Canal was completed. Doubtless a fleet and armament were a means of securing peace. Referring to the Monroe doctrine, President Taft stated that that doctrine had often provoked danger of -wars, which had only been avoided “because the Lord looks -after fools, drunkards aud the United States” A GERMAN OPINION The German ambassador disagreed with President Taft’s dictum that matters involving the national honor ought to be submitted to arbitration
