PORTER SCORES A
NOTABLE SUCCESS
PLAN FOR COLLECTION OF
DEBTS is ENDORSED
BY HAGUE PEAcEMAKERS.
Importance OF the Proposition Lies in
the Principle It Establishes,
Rather than in Its Prae.
tical Application.

The Hague, Sept. 4--Gen. Horace
Porter of the American delegation to
the peace conference, led his proposal
Tor the collection Of contractual debts
10 practically unanimous approval
tuesday BY the committee of cXami.
nation and at the conclusion of the
meeting he vas the recipient of MANY
congratulations upon the success of
MS efforts. The Importance of this
American proposition lies in the prin-
ciple which il establishes rather than
IN its practical application, which NAV
be very seldom.
In substance II says that the sigma.
tory powers agree not to have re-
course TO armed force for the recovery
OF contractlral debts. but that the
stipulation is not applicable when the
debtor state refuses or leaves unan.
swered an offer of arbitration, or in
case OF It's acceptance makes a con.
clusion or compromise impossible. or.
after arbitration, fails to conform TO
the award
Gen. Porter met all the objections
raised with ready argument and final.
ly Drought all the countries represent
ed, debtor as well as creditor conn
tries, into line with the single eXceD-
ton of Switzerland. which is neither
debtor nor n creditor country. There
Is reason to believe, however. that
even the Swiss government will sign
the convention.
DIR. Drago, while he cast Argentine's
vote in favor of Gen Porter's proposal
for the reason that it establishes
obligatory arbitration in matters re-
lating to contractual debts, declared
Argentine maintained her original re-.
serve on the subject
only 10 countries, including Brazil.
Mexico and Argentine were repre-.
sented on the committee Of examina-
tion and Gen. Porter's proposition. as
1t has been modified, must be submit
ted for approval TO a plenary sitting of
the committee of arbitration, upon
whitehall tie nations are represented.
There probably will be plenary sit
ting OF the entire conference next
Saturday.
