GUERRERO MAY URGE
DIPLOMATIC CHANGES
Salvadorean Delegates Report to League
May Be Reflected in Conference
at Havana.

does Guerrero think Latin America
would achieve that 100 per cent equal
ity in Uncle Sans ewes that Latin
Americans demand as their right and
which President Coolidge eloquently ac-
claimed at Havana. The converse OF
the Guerrero doctrine, as far as the
Western Hemisphere il concerned. Is
that Washington would not only have
an all-ambassador Latin American dip
lomatic corps. but would send TO Latin
American capitals nothing but fully
panoplied sl7.500 a year ambassadors.
Report Reviews View.
A graphic idea OF Senior Guerreros
mental processes. as they are likely 70
be revealed at Havana, Is supplied b.
the following extracts from his Re
vision of Diplomatic Status" report &c
the League of Nations:
THE credentials by which amoassa-
doris and ministers plenipotentiary are
accredited are absolutely identical. as
are their rights and duties. the priv
ileges and immunities granted them
and the methods of communication
with their own governments and those
to which they are accredited. There
fore there is no longer any reason TO
place ambassadors in a higeher cate
CORY t1dn ministers.
1T may even be concluded that adop-
ton of the classification of Vienna and
Aix-la-C hapelle Is unconstitutional in
states in which the constitution recog-
nizes no other sovereignty than that OF
the nation. II the false conception OF
the representative character which es-
tablished a difference between anibas-
sailors and ministers led TO much criti-
ciSm in the course of the last century.
no fiction can possible justify today
the maintenance of different terms TO
designate persons who hold the same
public Office.
Since the League Of Nations has
inaugurated a system in which the
equality Of states is fact. and since
International Law IS developing a new
spirit. it would. indeed. be more than
strange II we continued TO observe an
obsolete tradition which has only sur
yiyed through the negligence or COM
placency Of so-called second-class
States.
Would Call Conference.
! Having shown the desirability Of re-
vising the classification of diplomatic
representatives. We think that the best
/ solution would be 10 invite al the
states, members or non-memoers Of the
League. 10 an international conference
which would examine the questions with
view TO reaching a general agreement
on some classification Of diplomatic
agents more suitable TO the present gen.
eral form Of governments and the spirit
