Though jealous of its sovereignty, Argentina has always favoured the settlement of problems by peaceful means* It has taken this stand, with its sister nations of America* ever since the last century. In the League of Nations Assembly on 17 November 192O Mr. Pueyrreddon, the Argentine Foreign Minister, on instructions from President Yrigoyen said: «we are in favour of the principle of compulsory arbitration in all disputes except in questions affecting the political construction of States, and we declare ourselves partisans of a Court of Justice equipped with judicial powers." 32. Argentina has only two outstanding territorial problems; and acting in concert with the sister Republic of Chile, it submitted one to an arbitrator appointed early in the present century, and the other to the International Court of Justice.
