Formation of a general arbitration
convention that could be approved
and put in operation by every cOun-
try.
That The Hague conference consider
the extent to which the use of force
for the collection of public debts is
permissible.
This second proposal involves the
validity of the famous Calso doctrine.
which South American republics de-
sire particularly to see recognized as
international law.
