Dice Ell Post que 81 las pro-
mesas valen algo en- este mum
do, Ia Conferencia de Washing
ton ha hecho mas, por la paz, en-
TN mes, que la Conferencia de
La Haya en- cinco meses; "pero
-af1ade-la amistad y la que
rra Sc han seguido tan de cerca
en- Centro America que no es
possible, en- esta materia, TN op-
timiSmo ilimitado. Sin embar-
go, la obra de la Conferencia
tiene ciertas probabilidades de
exito porque no Sc ha intentado
ffs1.ndir, dc golpe, EN- TN solo Es-
tado, a las cinco Republicas.'
Y, como en- TN banquete dado
a los plenipotenciarios, sc ha
tornado una "Fraternidad de
la America Central, compuesta
de Mr.. Root, Secretario de Es-
tado de esta nacion, del Emba-
jador mejicano en- Washington
Y del Ministro de Negocios Ex-
tranjeros de MejicQ, termina di-
ciendo el Post" que Sc puede
yer en- esa Fraternidad una es-
pecie de cuerpo de garantes de
los acuerdos de la Conferencia.
Esto, como expuse anteayer, es
10 importante y 10 que Sc pom
dra en- claro, -ahora Q mas tar
de.-Si Mejico y los Estados
Unidos Sc encargan de hacer
observar Ell Tratado, habra paz
permanente entire las cinco Re-
p1bllcas ntro-americanas; y
supongo que habra, tambien, en-
cada una de elias, paz interior,
