multilateral treaties. the most advanced
and complete ever adopted by the
nations of the world. This demon
strates that the nations of the Pan
American Union are determined to
establish tribunals and machinery for
the prevention of war by the pacific
settlement of all disputes between
Them
DR.. Adrian Recinos of Guatemala
delivered the final speech on behalf
of the other delegates to the conference,
in which he thanked the United States
for its hospitality during the conference
and praised the cooperation received
during the parley.
The final ceremony yesterday took
place in the large hall of the Americas
in the Pan American Union Building.
Secretary Kellogg lost no time upon
convening the plenary session in having
the texts of the treaties circulated
round the horseshoe table at which the
delegates were seated.
Only the United States, Haiti, Cuba,
Nicaragua, Panama, Brazil and Peru
signed the arbitration treaty. with no
reservations other than the two which
are included in the text of the treaty
itself These waive the obligation to
resort to arbitration in cases where the
disputes involve the domestic juris-
diction" of states or affect third parties.
Only One Reservation.
The Cancellation treaty was signed
with only one reservation. This was
introduced by Chile, and exempts from
this method of procedure disputes aris-
ing from causes existing before the con-
clusion of the treaty itself.
The reservations which ware made by
single governments to the arbitration
treaty fall mostly into two categories.
those excepting disputes arising from
factors antedating the convention itself
and those involving matters which, in
accordance with national legislation, ma
tional courts should be competent to
solve.
Other reservations excluded from COM
pulsory arbitration boundary questions
unless special protocol were negoti-
ated in advance. A few more went on
record to the effect that the new treaty
in no way affected or invalidated ex-
listing pacts and agreements.
After adjournment, delegates declared
the conference to have been the most
successful pan-American gathering ever
held.
