favorS a system under which COM

NJ PoIitis, who has devoted much
time recently to the study of inter-
national arbitration, examined the
subject from the standpoint of an
international jurist. In an endeavor
to prove that compulsory arbitration
was impracticable without suitable
mutual guarantees or penalties, he
cited the creation of a court of JUS
tice by the five republics of Central
America at the suggestion of the
United States. all the signatories
agreeing to accept arbitration OF any
disputes whatsoever.
Eventually, he added, a conflict
arose through the contention of one
of the Signatories that a treaty ne
gotiated by two of the republics in
juriously affected its interests and
the signatory states later refused to
accept the findings of the arbitral
court. The system. he said. had COL
lapsed and was being replaced by a
new tribunal more directly con-
trolled by the states concerned.
The countries of LatinAmerica took
d prominent part in the morning ses-
sion of the assembly. After an ad-
dress by the Venezuelan delegate the
rostrum was taken by Narciso Garay
of Panama. who explained fully
Panama's treaty with the United
States for the construction of the
canal which he described as a political
treaty of guarantee by which the
United States undertook to guarantee
and maintain the independence and
sovereignty of Panama Thus. de-
clared Senior Garay, Panama at the
very beginning of her international
existence had solved the fundamental
problem of her security.
Wants to Aid Others.
But Panama. Senior Garay declared,
wanted to cooperate with her sister
nations of the world in the attain
ment of peace and would exert every
means in her power to bring about
the new day of international trust
and confidence, which would make the
days of imperialism and war things
of the past.
After the adjournment Prime Min
lister Macdonald called conference
of the entire British delegation and
Premier Herriot convoked the entire
French group. 1t was announced that
some concrete resolution placing the
entire problem of arbitration, dis
armament and security before the as
sembly, probably would be introduced
at the afternoon session when it was
likely that Mr.. Macdonald and Nj.
Herriot would both speak.
