 resolution affirming the adherence of the American republics to the prin- cipIe of arbitration for the settlement of disputes arising between them, and expressing the hopes of the republics taking part in the conference that the International Conference to be con- vened at The Hague will agree upon a general arbitration convention that can be approved and put in operation by every country.
 A resolution recommending to the different republics the extension for the further period of five years of the Treaty of Arbitration for Pecuniary Claims" agreed upon at the Mexican conference between the different re- publics.
 A resolution recommending that the second Peace Conerence at The Hague be requested to consider whether, if at all to what extent the use of force for the collection of public debts is ad- missible
