citation and perpetual confederation"
In less than two years such treaties
were signed; by Colombia with Peru
July 6. 1922: with Buenos Aires March
8, 1928, and with Mexico October 3,
1923. and, later on. similar one was
concluded with the United Provinces
Of Central America.
All these compacts, except the one
with Buenos Aires, had two provisions
in common; in one of them, the parties
bound themselves to use their good
offices with the governments of the
other states of what was formerly
Spanish America, ito induce them to
enter into a pact of perpetual union,
league and confederation" In the
other one. 1t was stipulated that. as
soon as this had been attained, there
should be "a general assembly of all
the American states, composed Of their
plenipotentiaries, for the purpose of
cementing and establishing more firmly
the intimate relations which should
exist among them"
Congress Of Panama Called.
This assembly of plenipotentiaries
was to serve as "a council In serious
disputes, as a point of contact in COM
mon danger, as an authentic inter-
prefer of their public treaties when
difficulties arise, and as judge-arbi-
traitor and conciliator in their mis-.
understandings and differences"
Upon the basis of these separate
treaties, Bolivar called the Congress
of Panama, with the idea of establish
ing the continental league of his
dreams. His instructions to the Peru.
Wan delegates to the congress-Boliva
being then the head Of the Peruvian
government-are astounding in their
vision and thorough understanding of
all the problems which lay before.
They make provision for every contin-
gency, one of the outstanding points
being the suggestion to convert the al
ready famous declaration Of President
Monroe into a formal, contractual
agreement Of continental self
defense" This, by the way, caused
an uproar in the Congress of the
United States, and arrested the CO.
operation Of the great northern re-
public in the undertaking.
The deliberations and the outcome
of the Panama Assembly are q matter
of historical record. A treaty was con-
cluded by the plenipotentiaries Of Co
lombia, Central America, Peru and
Mexico-the only nations attending
the meeting-which carried out all the
principles suggested by Bolivar.
Permanent Union Provided.
Paramount among these were: The
establishment of permanent and
indissoluble union" among the partici-
pating governments; defensive and, If
necessary, offensive support Of the
sovereignty and independence Of each
of the confederated states against all
foreign domination; creation Of q
permanent Assembly Of Plenipoten-
tiaries, intrusted with treaty-making
powers, the maintenance Of peace and
the general conduct Of their relations
with outside powers; prescription Of
war among themselves; compulsory
arbitration; mutual guarantees Of their
respective territorial integrity, etc.
These Bolivarian ideals are peren-
NAL monument to the vision and
statesmanship of the man who was 50

Economists Foresee Boom,
Certain administration economists
now figure that we are heading into
boom which will certainly take
place during the next two years. The
Federal Reserve Board seems to be
certain Of it. Its power to restrict
credit by increasing reserve require
ments has already been exerted once
and arrangements are now being made
to hike the requirements again. The
board, in fact, seems to be thoroughly
disturbed by the prospects of a boom,
with all the credit facilities now
lying around loose, and is determined
to offset it.
But there is some question whether
its machinery is sufdcient. In some
respects 1t seems to be holding the
bag, q big balloon bag, you might say.
The administrations financial policies
are pumping air into this credit bag,
as well as are the gold imports, to
which so much attention has been
called. The Federal Reserve Board
is trying to hold the outlet at the
top Of the bag and regulate the OUT
now Of air, letting a little out ut q
time. But the bag is larger all the
time and harder for the Federal Re-
serve Board to handle.
It Is not necessary to carry on that

than 1t goes out, and every one knows
the simplest remedy. You must stop
