Vera Cruz was cut off to-day from

"GOOD OFFICES" MERELY
ADVISORY, NOT BINDING
Efforts of South American ENJOYS Would Not Even
Check War Preparations

parties In conflict as an unfriend!y
act"
That the work OF the three South
American ENJOYS in the present case
will be purely advisory and not be Of
binding character appears to follow
from Article VI OF the Hague conven-
ton, which provides:
Good offices and mediation, either
at the request Of the parties at varl-
ance or on the initiative OF powers
strangers to the dispute have exclu-
sively the character Of advice and
never having binding force"
The Hague convention also provides
that 1.-THE acceptance of mediation can
not, unless there be agreement to the
contrary, have the effect Of interrupt
ing, delaying or hindering mobilization
or other measures Of preparation for
war. If mediation occurs after the
no interruption to the military opera
tons in progress, unless there be an
agreement to the contrary"
Most Of the presidents on good
offices and mediation arc those in
which established governments are con-
cerned. and to what extent the prac-
tice would apply to de facto govern
ment is not clear. But the adoption in
the present case Of the usual course of
rendering good offices. and it's accept
ance by the United States, would prob
ably result in the usual procedure being
employed.
One Of the presidents on good Offices
was during the Cleveland administra-
ton and involved Mexico. At that
time Secretary Bayard rendered to
Mexico the good Offices Of the United
States in settling the conflict between
Mexico and Guatemala.
Another precedent involving Mexico
was when that country and France
were in conflict in 1888. Then the
American Minister to Paris, Mr.. Cass.
was instructed to offer his assistance
to any form which might prove bene-
fetal, and 1t was added that the Presi-
dent would feel no delicacy in tender
ing his good Offices"
President Buchanan also sought to
employ his good offices in the war be.
tween Great Britain and France and
the Chinese Empire, and there were
numerous other precedents under later
administrations,

Washington, April 25. - President
Wilson's acceptance of the good offices
of Brazil. Argentina and Chill to COM
pose the Mexican conflict has centred
the attention Of international authori-
ties on Just what the procedure will be
and what good offices" are under the
practice Of nations.
The tender Of the South American
ENJOYS speaks of good Offices" and
the reply of the United States govern
ment makes reference to ''intermedia-
ton"
John Bassett Moore. former counsel
Tor Of the State Department and an
authority on international law, points
out a distinction between good offices
and mediation, and says: 1.-THE demand
of good offices or their acceptance does
not confer the right Of mediating.'
John Hay, when Secretary Of State
said: "The phrase good Offices being
somewhat elastic, should be confined TO
two contingencies. In Its first sense
it corresponds to the French term
'officioux.' In its second sense 1t is al
lied to arbitral INTERPRETATION as an
impartial adviser of both parties, and
not only implies but requires the as
sent Of both parties, and, oftener.
spontaneous invitation from each"
The Hague convention uses the two
terms good Offices and mediation"
INTERCHANGEABLE. The Hague pro-
visions follow:
Article lin case of serious dis
agreement or conflict, before an appeal
to arms the signatory powers agree to
have recourse, as far as circumstances
allow, to the good offices or mediation
Of one or more friendly powers.
Article III-Ipdependently of this
recourse the signatory powers recon-
mend that one or more powers, strang-
ers to the dispute, should, on their own
initiative and as far as circumstances
may allow, offer their good offices or
mediation to the states at variance.
Powers strangers to the dispute
have the right to offer their good Of
fces or mediation even during the
course of hostilities.
THE exercise OF this right can never
be regarded by one OK the other Of the
