New York, June 3.-As the result Of
unexpectedly strong cables from Liver
pool and further general rains through :.
out the belt, the cotton market opened
firm at net advance of 80 to 3S points.
Early gains were partly lost when the
market reacted % points from the ini-
tial level
The failure of the bullish news fea a-
ture to inspire aggressive buying prob =
ably increased the disposition of old
longs to make sure of existing profits
and some local selling for reaction,
Prices eased off in consequence of this
pressure, with active months breaking
several points below last nights close.
There was moderate trade demand
and covering which absorbed offerings
on scale down, however, and the ac-
ton of the market reflected no nervous
ness of consequence on the long side,
while some of the sold out bulls were
said to be replacing their lines on a
scale down.
Western belt forecast for clear and
warmer weather was a factor on the
reaction while the Wall street selling
may have been caused by the reaction
ary tone of the stock market and higher
call money rates.
The receipts at the ports for the day
are estimated at $4,000 bales, against
20, ,437 bales week ago and ,327
bales year ago.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND.
The Hague Convention.


The Second Hague Conference in
1907 agreed upon a convention for
the pacific settlement of international
disputes. 1t established a Perma-
nent Court of Arbitration to sit at
The Hague, and it provided that
Gin questions of legal nature and
especially in the Interpretation or
application of international con-
ventions, arbitration is recognized
by the contracting parties as the
most effective and at the same time
the most equitable means of sett-
ling disputes which diplomacy has
failed to settle. Consequently, it
would be desirable that in disputes
about the above mentioned ques-
tons the contracting parties should
if the case arose, have recourse to
arbitration insofar as circum-
stances permit"
The United States senate, in rati
flying this treaty on April I'd, 1908
did so with the following proviso
namely:
Nothing contained in this con-
vention shall be so construed as
to require the United States of
America to depart from its tradi-
tional policy of not intruding up
on, interfering with, or entangl-
ing itself in the political questions
of policy or internal administration
of any foreign state; nor shall
anything contained in the said con-
vention be construed to imply
REIMBURSEMENT by the United
States of its traditional attitude
toward purely American ques-
tons"
And further:
"That the United States ap-
proves this convention with the
understanding that recourse to the
permanent court for the settle
ment of differences can be had on
ly by agreement thereto though
general or special treaties of arbi-
tration heretofore or hereafter con-
cluded between the parties in dis
pute,"
1t further declared that the Unit
ed States exercised the option can
tanned in Article LII Of the conven-

ToDAY's LETTER TAKES UP

ton, which excluded from the Per-
manent Court the power to frame the
submission for arbitration required
by general or special treaties con-
cluded, or thereafter to be conclud
ed, by the United States, and that the
submission required by any treaty of
arbitration to which the United States
should be party must be settled by
a special agreement between the par
ties, unless the treaty should other
wise expressly provide.
Root Treaties.
Following the Hague Convention,
Secretary Root negotiated series of
separate treaties with different coun-
tries, whereby it was agreed-all in
substantially the same form-that
differences which might arise between
the parties of legal nature, or re-
lating TO the Interpretation of treat
les which might not Rave been posi-
bic to settle by diplomacy, should be
referred to the Permanent Court of
Arbitration established by the Hague
Convention, provided they did not
affect the vital interests, the indie
pendence, or the honor of the two
contracting states, and did not con-
Germ the interests of third parties.
Three treaties further provided that
IN each individual case the contract
ing parties should conclude a specia;
agreement defining the matter in di
pute which was to be submitted to ar
bitration, which agreements should ue
made by the President, by and with
the advice and consent of the Senate.
Most of these treaties were limited to
a period Of five years; number of
them have since been extended, and,
are now in force. The countries with:
which they were made include among
others Great Britain, France, Italy,
Japan, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland
and Norway.
Knox Treaties.
During the Taft Administration,
Secretary Knox negotiated similar
treaties with Brazil, Ecuador and
Uruguay. He also negotiated treaties
with Great Britain and France, which
were ratified Starch 5th, 1912, where
by it was agreed that all differences
relating to international matters in
which the high contracting parties are
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1919-07-22
neither of them became effective.
Bryan Treaties.


Under the Wilson Administratio,
Secretary Bryan negotiated a series
of treaties, in 1894, with twertv-
one different countries, which were
ratified by the Senate. without arv
reservation whatever, whereby the
high contracting parties agreed
"all the disputes between them of
every nature whatsoever which
diplomacy shall fail TO adjust
shall be submitted for investiga-
ton and report to an international
commission to be constituted in
the manner prescribed"
The amendment OF the treaties by
in a designated article of the greatly.
They further agreed not to dec lare
war or begin hostilities over any such
question during such inve stIgation

Mr.. Howell was recommended for

American Distinguished Service cross.
"But I'm glad to get even this"
said he, "for not more than one
tenth of the recommendations ever
go through"
