In the first conference, called by the Czar of Russia and attended by twenty-one nations, one memlier of the German delegation was quite active. He was a Bavarian professor who had actually written a book in opposition to international arbitration. It is impossil)lo to belie\e that he would have been selected as a representative if the German government had not determined in advance to put every possilile obstacle in the way of an agreement by the nations to arliitrate tlu^ii- differences. Even... the mere suggestion of having an international court provoked at first the liostility of the German govern- ment, and it was necessary to send a delegation from the con- ference to Berlin in order to secure that government's assent to tlie establislinuMit of anv sort of a court. When the court was iinally created, chiefly because of the opposition of the German delegation, it was not possible to provide for the compulsory arbitration of any questions except those involv- ing contract debts. It is worthy of notice that at the first conference held fifteen years before the breaking out of the present war, the German representatives gave as their reason for opposing arbitration that Germany was better prepared in a military sense than any nation in the world; that the German army could be mobilized in ten days, which was a feat no other na- tion could accomplish, and that they saw no reason for giving up that military advantage and putting themselves upon the level of smaller states liy agreeing to arbitrate international questions.
