Excerpt from Official Report of the Fifth Universal Peace Congress: Held at Chicago, United States of America, August 14 to 20, 1893, Under the Auspices of the World's Congress Auxiliary of the World's Columbian Exposition Publications containing these and other announcements were also sent by the Government of the United States to other nations. These subjects were thoroughly set forth in the preliminary address issued by the Committee of Organization in charge of the Congress. The Congress therefore convenes with a fixed and definite purpose and all the peace societies of America, and of other countries, have been cordially invited to unite in the work for which we have assembled. In the nature of things government is power and must have authority to protect itself and its subjects against internal disorders and external foes. By the establishment of a universal reign of peace we do not mean the abdication of government, but the substitution of the dominion of law for the dominion of force, of moral for physical power. As in private life the courts of justice have actually and successfully taken the place of personal conflict, as in the American Republic the supreme court of the nation has for more than a century successfully decided controversies between powerful States, so we believe it to be entirely practical for civilized nations to establish an International Court of Justice for the determination of differences between them. And we believe that the worst decision which such a tribunal would ever make would be better than the best result of war. If the American States had been compelled to keep standing armies for their protection, the present wonderful prosperity could never have been attained. Thus in seeking to extend the reign of law and justice and to substitute judicial tribunals for armies, we are following the teachings of reason and experience, and not the dreams of enthusiasts nor the speculations of theorists. Among civilized nations the moral force of a decision of an International Tribunal would generally secure compliance, and probably no other coercion than that of non-intercourse would ever be required. The whole series of the World's Congresses of 1893 really constitute one great Congress on Peace, of which this particular Convention may be regarded as the crowning part. (Applause.) This Congress, like the others of the series, has been organized by what is termed a Committee of Organization, or rather by a dual Committee of Organization consisting of a committee of men and a committee of women.
