The ex.HouSe members will not
need much coaching. but will find a
new freedom Of individual action
under the parliamentary procedure of
the Senate. In the House they had
to ask for 5, 10 or Is minutes to let
the country know what they thought
Of this or that bill. In the Senate
they will ind themselves free to talk
to their hearts content on the pend
ing bill, or the state Of the Union
except when the membership as q
whole restricts itself by unanimous
consent. Ordinarily, this voluntary
limitation on debate Is not proposed
until the members Of the Senate have

had full opportunity to argue the
merits Of the pending question. While
the Senate has a means of ending
debate by invoking cloture when
unanimous consent cannot be OBJ
tanned, this rarely becomes necessary,
since the theory Of Senate procedure
is to permit thorough discussion u all
major problems as a check on the
hasty enactment of new laws. So

Traditions and Precedents.
The newcomers also will discover
that precedent and unwritten custom
play a large part ir the everyday
routine Of Senate procedure. One Of
the traditional commandments Of the
Senate in the past has been that
new member should be seen, but not
heard during his first year of service,
but in recent years this unwritten rule
has been passing gradually into the
discard.

And thus, while Notifications may be
discussed casually at the conference,
the President will instruct his dele
gates to obtain from the participating
powers q guaranty for the permanent
naturalization of the Philippines.
Diplomatic experts believe that there

such q guaranty from the Japanese
government, and that Great Britain Is
prepared to sign on the dotted line.
But the effect Of the settlement Of
the Pacific problems-so at least the

MODEL PACT is SIGNED
BY BOLIVIA AND PERU
Provisions Of Non.Agggressive Treaty In
volve Great P Possibilities for Advance
ment of International Law.

TO make such commitments practical
is through the building up Of q COM
pick machinery Of bilateral pacts be-
tween neighbor states. until all of them
have become actually and definitely
bound to preclude aggression.
It goes without saying that the only
realistic and practical way of ap-
preaching the problem Of the Or
ganization Of peace is this one of sup
plementing and perfecting the general
anti-war treaties and conventions with
specific and enforceable pacts of nom
aggression between neighbors, and it is
in this spirit that the new Bolivian
Peruvian pact has been signed.
However. the significance of this
latest addition to the network Of
American international compacts does
not stop there. The pact has the adj
ditional merit Of pioneering in several
aspects Of international law. for some
of its provisions for peace 60 further
than most, other instruments for the
prevention of war now in existence In
the New World. .--.-
To mention only the more outstand-
ing ones; In article III of the pact
Bolivia and Peru, after pledging them
selves never to use war or force in
their relations with each other and
always to intrust their differences to
juridical or diplomatic ways, agree on
the most unconditional Endorsement
of arbitration and Cancellation. pro-
viding that no single question may be
excluded from this compromise. None
of the minimum but dangerous
reservations common to most arbi-
tration agreements are present here.
Neutrality Is Pledged.
In the matter of neutrality, the two
parties bind themselves not merely to
observe It IN aiI present and future
conflicts In which one of them may
be Notwithstanding obligations I'M
posed by the League covenant-but
they give each other unlimited assur-
ances Of free transit through their
respective territories, and they ex-
tend their neutrality pledge to include
non-interference In the domestic AZ
fairs of one another. Furthermore,

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

TINE pressure from the European
democracies on the American
Government-the plea Of "for
Gods sake do something be-
fore another cataclysm breaks loose"
lis increasing in proportion with the
rush for ornaments throughout the
world
While State Department high off,
Gals are holding whispered CONVERSE
lions with the representatives of Great
Britain and France. unofficial spokes-
men like Lord Lothian are touring
this country in the hope of preparing
American public opinion for a pro-
gram Of cooperation for the main
tenance of peace and democracy.
Many more lecturers from European
countries are expected to reach the
shores of the United States in the
course of the winter.
Europe as q whole expects the
United States. under the leadership
Of President Roosevelt. to embark on
bold and constructive international
policy. The premiers and some of
the dictators see In American Coop
Grafton the only solution for the paci--
fication of the world. The reason
for this is that their emissaries in
Washington report their conversations
with Secretary of State Hull, who
does not tire of expressing the opinion
that when the expenditures on arms
and ornaments begin to decrease and
the money thrown out Of the window
for such q useless purpose Is turned
toward constructive business, there is
bound to be q lessening of tension
among nations"
Even the Germans, who view with
suspicion the trends of Americas
foreign policy, are encouraged when
they hear the American Secretary of
State say, 1.-THE raw materials of the
world are unequally distributed. They
are almost exclusively in the hands
of three nations - Great Britain,
France and the United States. We
must come to some agreement where
by the 'have-nots' can obtain the
necessary supply of raw materials
without being ut the mercy Of those
who have exclusive monopoly. It Is
unfair that the 'have-nots' should be
at. the mercy of the 'hayes.'
Maneuver for Farley.
Countries most concerned with the
pacification Of Europe are maneuver-
ing to get President Roosevelt 10
take the initiative in reviving the
limitation of arms conference. As a
concession to the United States. these
countries are willing to link an arms
conference with economic, negotia-
lions. The outline Of such . plan
was given to the readers of this
column last week. But while the
administration will welcome sug-
gestion to revive the conference which
failed in 1888. It prefers that the In
itiative should come from across the
Atlantic.
The difficulties such conference
might encounter are great. In world
where personal governments play %
important . role the old diplomatic
methods are unlikely to succeed. For
this reason discreet approaches have
been made to the State Department
about the Possibility Of personal
contact" between President Roosevelt
and ut. least some Of the dictators. (

~ THE eve OF the Pan-Amer-
lean Peace Conference at
J Buenos Ares, two South
American republics have
signed a non-as-ressioa pact which
for more than one reason may be
considered q model instrument of its
kind.
The pact Of friendship and nom
aggression which the governments of
Bolivia and Peru have just initiated
Is important net only because of its
timeliness, when the representatives
of the 81 American republics are
about to gather at Buenos Aires to
discuss ways and means for the MAIN
tenance and organization of peace in
the Western Hemisphere, but also be-
cause 1t contains provisions which
involve great possibilities for the adj
vancement of International law.
In the first place, the pact In itself
Is further contribution to the theory
that the organization Of international
peace must proceed along two paral-
lei lines. Some authorities have
claimed, probably moved by the Pc
culiar interests Of their respective
countries that all that was neces-
sary was the conclusion of general
agreements, open to all nations, de-
nouncing war and indorsing arbitra.
ton and other diplomatic means Of
solving quarrels between them.
Although experience has shown that
such agreements-The Hague treaties,
the League Covenant, the Kellogg
treaty, the Washington treaties of ar
bitration and Cancellation, the Saa.
vedra Lamas anti-war pact, etc.-are
not sufficient to prevent armed strife,
those who view In them the one and
only panacea look with disfavor and
unveiled suspicion on the signing Of
bilateral pacts. even though intended
for the same purpose.
In Two Classifications.
The advocates Of this school must
be classified under two headings-they
either are interested, for obvious rea-
sons. In preventing the appearance Of
definite commitments and stopping
the growth Of the peace machinery
with the somewhat vague and nom
enforceable declarations Of the general
treaties or else they are utopian IDEAL
lists and, in their naive optimism, pre-
fer to leave everything to the gradual
and slow process Of, education OF
public opinion in the hope that some
day public opinion win demand and
make imperative the enforcement Of
such lofty principles, The reader will
easily recognize examples of :. both
types In Europe: though Ia America
they belong almost exclusively to the
second.
Opposite this theory Is the Russian-
French tendency. which claims that
the signing Of hilateral pacts Of nom
aggression not only IS not incompatible
with, but Is the logical complement
Of, the general treaties for the pro-
motion Of peace which are already in
existence and Of those that may be
concluded IN the years 10 come. Far
from contrsdicting the general pledges
Of peace and preference for juridicai
formulas contained in the latter, the
non-aggression pacts between two IN
dividual countries constitute further
and specific confirmation Of them,
and q guarantees Of their inviolability
In the future. As long Is 1t = impos-
sible to enact definite commitments
or enforce sanctions In the general
treaties, for the prevailing views OF
national sovereignty have not yet de-
yeloped % that point, the only way
