committee of thirty members was chosen, to serve
as a connecting link in the interval between
the conferences.
The third Interparliamentary Conference will
meet in Rome in 1891.
In the fact that these conferences are
composed of legislators chosen by the people lies
their peculiar significance. They speak with
power, because they are supported by millions
of electors in various lands. The weight of their
utterances naturally increases in the proportion
in which the number of members grows. As
yet this parliament of the peoples represents
only a minority of the national assemblies; but
the day may be coming when it will express the
opinion of the majority, and that would be the
triumph of right over might.
In the effort to reach this goal there must
be no settling into stagnation. The peace
societies especially must work with all their
might to get friends of peace into parliament,
and subscribe to enable them to take part in
the interparliamentary meetings. It would, of
course, be still better if the means for their
attendance were supplied by a public grant.
