Fund case between this country and Mex

case; and the question OF preferential
treatment in the recent Venezuelan diff
Guilty, the settlement of which will estn-
sbllsh an international principle of trenlen-
Blous importance, In tho submission OF
these three cases the nations concerned
have invested the Hague Court with a
lasting international prestige, IN addition
disputes have been arbitrated during the
year. and half a dozen or more are still
pending before special tribunals rs
This record Ia gratifying evidence that
the world Is rapidly coming to- realize the
adyantagea3 OF arbitration Numerous
friendship treaties which have been rego-
tiated. and the fact that the late Venez-
uelan episode. with all Its intr!caces, led
to no further lnternadonn complications
atll further attest the general desire
among, the great nations for peace, Il
1t is specially gratifying to note tnat
the United Sta tes Ia taking leading part
In the movement. Not only has II been
d party to four arbi ira lions during the
year, but Its attitude In the Venezuelan
controversy has given this country high
rank In the role OF pea 90 Emakar. THO ap-
polntmeat Of the Alaskan BoundAry
Tribunal Is another evidence OF our desire
for peaceful settlement Of disputes With
our neighbors.
That the United States, already q

ROOT WILL ACT FOR HAY.
To Conduct Negotiations With Reyes
During Hays Illness.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec 29.-The President has
designated Secretary Root to conduct the
Panama negotiations with General Reyes.
of Colombia during the illness of Secre-
tary Hay.
This announcement was made after a
long cabinet meeting held this afternoon,
at which Secretary Root laid before the
President the details of his interview with
the Colombian minister. Careful consid-
Grafton was given to the Colombian note
fled with the State Department by Gen.
eral Reyes, but it can be said that no
answer yet has been made to it. Secre-
tary Root informed General Reyes this
afternoon that the reply of this govern
ment was not ready. but that it would
be given him as soon as possible. Secre-
tary Root will give the response to Cen
eral Reyes when decision as to its pre-
else nature shall have been reached.
No intimation of the contents of Cen
eral Reyes note or Of the reply OF this
government is given from any authorlta-
tive source. 1t is known, however, that
the administration regards the ratification
of the treaty with the Republic of Panama
as the first step to be taken in the en-
tire pending matter.
What this government may do subse-
quently will be determined. at least IN
rart by the circumstances then surround
ing the case. Just now, it is said, p ri
tatively, there is nothing in the
to arouse serious concern.
