which such a tribu-.... would soon possess:
While earnestly promoting the idea of
establishing a permanent Internal ional
tribunal, the delegation of the United
States was not unmindful of the incon-
veniences which might arise from an OBJ
strusive exercise of mediation, and in
signing the convention guarded carefully
the historic position of the United States
by the following declaration: Nothing
contained In this convention shall be so
construed as to require the United States
of America to depart from its traditional
policy Of not intruding, interfering with
or entangling itself in the political ques-
lions or policy or international admins
tratiOn Of any foreign state; nor shall
anything contained In the said conven-
ton be construed to imply a relinQuish-
ment by the United States of America of
its traditional attitude towards purely
American questions.
Thus interpreted the convention for the
pacific settlement of international con-
f1icts may be regarded as realizing the
earnest desire Of great numbers of Amer
lean citizens whose deep sense Of justice
expressed in numerous resolutions and
memorials has urged them to labor for
this noble achievement The general
character of this convention, already
signed by the delegates of more than
twenty sovereign states, further com
mends it to the favorable action of the
senate of the United States, whose rati-
fication 1t still awaits.
