VIII Welcome Arbitration.

Il believe that a vast majority of our
people will welcome our arbitration treaty
and see in il a serviceable plan from the
outset and a germ from which more com
plete system will be evolved by future con-
ferences. AS time progresses without
doubt references to the tribunal will be-
come increasingly natural and normal.
and thus we may hope to have every ad-
vantage claimed for obligatory arbitration
without its overwhelming disadvantages.
But ii could hardly be expected that we
should be willing TO accept the require
ment to sweep away al once, here and now
the policy of Monroesm.
If any modification is ever made Of that
policy, IL must be made by the United
States after it has had the fullest oppor-
tunity to study the subject in all its bear
ings. Such a change cannot be made here
by implications in a treaty made distinctly
for another purpose, and 1t is important
that there should be no doubt on this point. ."

Baron De staaPs Farewell.
Baron De Staal delivered the farewell
address, thanking the representatives
of foreign states. He said that the work
accomplished, while not SO complete as
might be desired, was sincere wise and
practical. The great principles of the
sovereignty of individual states and in
ternational solidarity, apparently so
opposing, had been reconciled by what
they had accomplished. He affirmed
that in time 10 come institutions which
had their origin in the need of concord
would be the dominating influence and
that thus the work of the conference
was truly meritorious.
Minister Estournelles and DIR. Beau
fort followed, the latter saying that if
the conference had not realized Utopian
dreams nevertheless it had disproved
pessimistic forebodings, and the moral
effect would more and more influence
public opinion and aid governments to
solve the question of the limitation of
ornaments, which still remains a
source of grave consideration for states
men of all countries.
Baron De Staal then declared the con-
ference closed.
