Giant Strides Toward Universal Peace
In 1923 Were Inaugurated by America

South" held sway at Washington and
no hint of move to saddle the re-
united Nation with an obligation to
make good the foreign indebtedness of
the vanished Southern Confederacy de-
veloped.
This was the underlying situation
that made possible in 1927 Secretary
Kellogg's move. beginning with France,
to modernize and strengthen the. Root
arbitration treaties one by one as the
time for reaffirming each arrived.
In the new form the vague reserva-
tions as to national interest and honor
disappeared. Only those issues affect
ing domestic Jurisdiction, the interests
of a third party, the Monroe Doctrine,
and obligations under the covenant of
the League of Nations, are excluded
from arbitration in the new form.
In addition, set out in the preamble
of each new bilateral arbitration pact,
is the declaration that the two powers
renounce as between themselves resort
TO war for purposes of national policy.
That declaration lacks treaty force in
its bilateral assertion. however great
may be the moral obligation imposed.
But it is the foundation stone on which
the multilateral anti-war pact, restating
it as definite treaty commitment hav-
ing the full force and effect of interna-
tional law and open to universal ad-
herance, was footed.
It was not until this revision OF the
arbitration treaties was begun in 1927
