Bryan’s Statement Draws Criticism on Peace Plan
The recently published remarks by the resigned secretary of state draw swift critique. The piece argues Bryan adds little new, repeats familiar positions on peace, preparedness, and mediation, and dismisses stronger defense as unnecessary, while urging arbitration as a sole solution.
Bryan's arbitration plan and world peace stance clash with German actions
The piece argues Mr. Bryan's antiwar stance lacks practical remedy amid Germany's war conduct in Belgium. It suggests disarmament alone cannot fix tensions and urges a strong coalition to deter aggression. It notes Francisco Lagos Chazarro defending Mexican dignity and questions Bryan's four-year arbitration proposal as forgetful of shameful realities.
