SOUTH AMERICAN ACCORD
SETS EXAMPLE TO WORLD
Bolivia and Paraguay Bury War Hatchet
and Make Historic Contribution to
Peace Through Diplomacy.

tory that two nations which had
fought tragically during three years
for the possession Of vast area Of
land formally recognized that their
claims must be submitted to tribunal
Of law and final sovereignty decided,
not by the force of arms. but by the
wisdom Of organized international
justice.
Admit Futility Of War.
It was the first time that two
parties to an armed conflict implicitly
admitted, at the conclusion of the
same, the futility of their efforts and
sacrifices at war and the necessity
of letting law prevail upon mere viol-
ence
OF course, In previous occasions,
there have been wars which ended
without victors and vanquished. 1t
is almost automatic In our days to
say that in a modern and prolonged
war all. in the long run, are losers.
But this was the first time that,
even as the firing ceased at the front
lines. the two contending parties re-
nounced the 'spoils of war"
Besides discarding any settlement
of the territorial question by force.
the peace protocol of last June estab-
lished the machinery necessary for
its fulf1llment. 1t provided, first, for
military commission to arrange the
definite terms of the truce, the lines
at which both armies should remain
and, later, to supervise demobiliza-
ton and maintenance of the military
status-quo, the two countries having
bound themselves to prevent any new
aggression.
The protocol provided, then, for a
permanent peace conference at
Buenos Aires, with the participation
of several neutral American republics,
under whose auspices delegates of Bo-
livia and Paraguay would proceed to
draw the terms for submission of
the territorial question to arbitration,
if direct negotiations failed. The
Court of International Justice at The
Hague was named the arbiter in
case OF arbitration, and the peace
conference was directed not to ad-
journ until the arbitration accord had
been reached.
Promote Good Will.
The same peace conference was
entrusted with the task of promoting
arrangements of an economic and
commercial character between the two
parties and between them and their
neighbors, in order to cement their
friendship on bases more stable and
more practical than heretofore.
Finally, the protocol called for the
creation of a special commission of
jurists to investigate the origins of
the war and determine the aggressor.
In this, as well as in the previous
clauses, the student Of international
law could easily recognize the first
formal attempt of novel method of
outlawing war by making illegal its
gains and by stressing sense of re-
sponsibility to the community of ma
tions at large in the preservation of
international peace.
The success of this first attempt was
involved in the carrying out of the
Chaco peace protocol, beside the spe-
cif1c interests and rights Of the two
disputant parties. Hence the relief
and satisfaction with which the
statesmen of the New World have
learned of the agreement at Buenos
Aires which has finally broken the
impasse. in the fulhllment of the
Bolivian-Paraguay protocol Of last
June.
tcopyrisht. 1894

~ skies OF Europe, Africa and
w asia. representatives ..... Of i
Bolivia and Paraguay. with
the aid of diplomats from other Amer
lean nations have Just taken a sig
nificant step forward in the main
tenance of peace and the advance
ment of international law in the
American continent. BY means Of an
agreement signed last week at Buenos
Aires, they have removed the main
obstacles in the way of final and
permanent settlement OF their recent
armed struggle over the Gran Chaco.
The agreement provides. first, for
the return of all prisoners of war; sec
ond, the reaffirmation of the terms of
last June's protocol ending the Chaco
warfare, and, third, an early resump-
ton of diplomatic relations between
the two countries. Differences OF in
depreciation over some Of the condi-
tions under which they suspended hos
tilities and, particularly, the delay in
releasing war prisoners, had obstruct-
ed for seven long months the progress
of diplomatic negotiations at Buenos
Aires for a definitive treaty Of peace
between Bolivia and Paraguay. More
over, these difficulties were creating
an atmosphere of disappointment and
resentment which, as time went on,
threatened further and more serious
complications.
The importance of the latest agree
ment lies, precisely, in that 1t has dis
PEELED that dangerous atmosphere, and
paved the way for fair and success
full carrying out of the provisions of
last years protocol which were not
confined to a mere suspension of
armed hostilities, but set forth, be-
sides, the way and means for a juri-
dicial adjustment of the territorial
differences originating the conflict,
established guarantees of mutual Sc
curity and called for an investigation
to determine responsibility for the
war.
Outstanding Provisions Cited.
Because it did so and because, in
doing it, it set a precedent in the
field of international law, it seems
timely to recall the outstanding pro-
visions of that peace protocol which
the new agreement now confirms and
actually makes possible.
In the first place, the two contend
ing parties reiterated their adherence
to the so-called declaration of August
3, 1882" barring the forcible acquisi-
ton of land as the result of war. That
declaration was signed by the diplo-
matte representatives of nearly all the
American republics at Washington and
was an amplification of what has been
termed the doctrine of "non-recogni-
ton of territorial gains by force" first
stated by Secretary of State Stimson
in reference to the Far East and later
upheld in the Leticia incident between
Colombia and Peru.
Bolivia and Paraguay, in other
words, specifically and solemnly
pledged themselves not to recognize
any territorial acquisition arising out
of the war which they had Just
stopped. AS the war had started,
indeed, on the ground of ascertaining
rights to territory claimed by both
parties, the admission by the two gov
ernments that all territorial differences
must be settled only through juridical
means, irrespective Of the final posi-
tions Of their armies, had . momentu-
Gus significance.

New York Stocks

NEW YORK, Feb. 25. UP)-
Traders administered a severe test
to the market early in the fourth
hour today and found it could alb
sorb tremendous amounts of selling.
After the turn of the fifth hour
selling got under way in earnest.
Before that the market had plodded'
along at the lightest trading since
January 81 with prices irregularly
lower. That last hour selling caused
tickcrs to fall eight minutes behind
by 2:16 p. m.
The selling subsided as quickly
as 1t began. At 2:25 the tickers had
caught up and thereafter to the
close the market resumed its plod-
ding. Prices rallied from the lows,
although there was no new buying
as traders continued to regard the
list in a vulnerable position.

THE BLACK LEGION

Tho expose of the secret order, The
BLACK Legion, with headquarters IN the
West. again brings home to us that many
Americans are never satisfied unless
they are placed in position to judge their
fellow-men. In the case OF the BLACK
Legion, according to reports, that order
did not hesitate to deal death to those
who, in their judgment, strayed from the
marrow path.
The cleaning up of this vicious, un-
patriotic organization, is not a job for
any one State. 1t is job for the De-
partment of Justice, ond judging from
past records the Omen will not fail to
mop up"
When any group of men take the law
into their own hands, they may be sure
of one thing: A terrific setback. And
in this case, the principals may sit. back
in an electric chair.
The alleged head of the Black Legion
claims membership of six millions in
the United States.
Personally we don't believe there are
that many fools in America!
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1936-06-05
AMERICA is CONFIDENT

Continued building activity in Hagers-
town and Washington county is addi-
tional proof that the depression is be-
hind us. If there is one thing which in
dicates better times, it is the expenditure
of money on construction of new build
ings and repairs to old.
No one spends money when times are
hard. Anyone who has money in de-
preston years holds on to it because he
is uncertain as to what the future holds
for him. Therefore, the tremendous
amount of new construction being done
in the country is a favorable indication
that the people of America are confident
that the Ship of Prosperity is again in
smooth waters.
