necessity which all ma
tions feel with greater
intensity day by day as
a means to solve their
international conflicts.
However, arbitration in
its full sense, without
limitations or reStric-
tions, cannot be adopted
at one stroke; it must be
accepted slowly and by
degrees as the different
necessities and the in
dividual rights of each
state may warrant.
The principle of arbi-
tration with certain re-
strictions, such as those
affecting the sovereignty,
dignity, constitutional
precepts and the in
herent rights of nations,
if accomplished by the
pres sent conference,
would indeed be a most
practical and beneficial
achievement.

BY CAYETANO OCHOA,

The republic of Ell Salvador has confidence and
the greatest hopes in the results of the Conner
ence on Arbitration and Cancellation, Whch Is
studying the means of realizing one OF the most
outstanding ideals of our continent.
With respect to conciliation, l do not belleVe
there will be any difficulty in reaching an agree

plete accord far the adoption of concillatory
means modern policy to solve international
conflicts are concerned Cancellation is in fact
a moral compromise that in itself is accepted by
the American republics as well as by the rest of
the world
However, in the consideration of the principle
of arbitration there undoubtedly will arise certain
tendencies not very feasible to conciliate. Ample
arbitration, without restrictions, will receive the
support of many but it will not be convincing
to all. AS political IDEAL it is unquqestionably
deserving of the adherence of each and every one
of the countries of this continent but as a poll

than elsewhere, the new pacitist ideas which are
so transforming the world will bear fruit
In so far as having recourse to arbitration Tor
the settlement of disputes, I am decidedly an
adherent of it, although realize that in practce
it must be accepted only with certain reserVa-

the sovereign rights, independence and national
dignity By only observing these exceptions,
