Buenos Aires Formula for Peace
In Americas Defended as Adequate

menH enumerated IN Article r and,
then. the subsequent six articles de-
scribe in detail the steps to be taken
for that purpose, up to the time
when. all other means having been
exhausted. p common and SOLITARY
attitude OF neutrality" with possible
embargoes, may be adopted against
the reluctant parties.
Provided they proceed in good
faith, therefore, the governments of
the American republics now have, not
merely the obligation to consult one
another in order to preserve peace
but also the machinery to render
that consultation effective. OF
course, in the absence Of good faith
no machinery, short of military force,
could avail, but that is another mat
ter. In order to pass upon the neces-
sarily slow progress Of international
law, one must, at least. give the con-
tracing governments the benefit Of
the doubt. Otherwise, all discussion
would be superfluous.
Loopholes Plugged.
But the gains involved in the Buenos
Aires convention do not stop there
Several important loopholes which the
experience Of the past few years had
revealed are now remedied, as may
be seen by the following instances: !:
The provision specifying that any
state, by its single action, may put
into motion the machinery for con-
sultation; the one establishing that all
parties to q controversy which has
gone beyond the stage Of direct diplo-
matte action must keep the other sig
natory states informed of the prog
ress OF negotiations; the binding
agreement that during cognizance OF
the dispute by the high contracting
parties the states in controversy will
not resort to hostilities or take mill
tary action preliminary to hostilities;
the innovating rule that for the pur-
pose Of applying the neutrality policy,
with all its consequences, 1t will not
be necessary to wait, for an ofncial
declaration Of war from one of the
parties to = conflict, but each indi-
vidual state reserves the right to take
notice OF the situation and declare
that = state OF war exists between
any two or more Of them, not exclud-
ing-and this Is quite important
states which have failed to ratify the
convention.
Other Gains Made.
Each one OF these gains is an evi-
dent improvement over the state of
things prior to the Buenos Aires
Conference Added to the main ac-
complishment Of = pledge Of joint
consultation within definite and
co-ordinated machinery for peace,
they should suflice to lay at rest all
charges Of futility.
Yet, there were other concrete
achievements At Buenos Aires, be-
sides those embodied in the two ma
Jor peace conventions, as may be
seen by = simple enumeration of the
other instruments just sent to the
Senate for ratification: Protocol on
on-intervention, treaty on the pre-
vention Of controversies, inter-Ameri-
can treaty of good offices and media
ton, convention on the Pan-Ameri-
can Highway, convention for the pro-
motion of intcr-American cultural
relations, and convention concern
ing artistic exhibitions.
AS for the merits of these, no ar
gument is required. for they stand
for some Of the things which have
been for years among the most ur-
gent needs Of Pan-Americanism.

~ ARIS.-After amassing q total
- deficit estimated for the year
1887 at just short OF $2,000,-
4 100000, the French treasury
faces the virtual certainty that the
deficit for 1888 will exceed that figure
by at least rs per cent.
Taking into consideration the fact
that Frances population is only one
third that OF the United States, these
deficits would be equivalent to \
Washington Treasury deficit OF be-
tween six billion and seven and q
half billion dollars annually.
The most alarming feature OF the
situation is that the annual deficit
curve is rising, and there apparently
is no promise OF it's abating. On the
contrary. there are reasons to fear
that the reality may prove to be
even worse than the most pessimistic
predictions.
Even the so-called ordinary" budg-
ct covering normal government ex-
penditures, will show q large deficit.

ventions signed at the Buenos
Aires Conference for the Maintenance
OF Peace, 1t might be appropriate to
correct, once more. the misunder-
standing responsible for the charge
Of futility which skeptical critics in
sist on hurting at the Buenos Aires
Instruments
Most of the criticism of futility Is
directed against the pledge of consul
.tatiOn in the event Of war or threat
Of war, which WAS the basis of the
major instruments signed at Buenos
Aires. 1t is argued that consultat ton
Is nothing new; that always govern
ments were ready to consult and in
many cases had actually consulted one
another for the sake of international
peace. 1t Is further charged that
consultation Is a vague and empirical
term, and that the Buenos Aires
conventions fail to set down the lines
and the scope Of such consultation.
Both allegations are mistaken. The
pledge OF joint consultation for the
maintenance of peace in the Americas
did not exist before. Governments
might have consulted one another in
order to restore peace between their
neighbors, and then again they might
not, and, in many instances they did
not, for fear Of alternating the good
will Of one of the parties or provoking
charges Of interference. Now for the
first time, there is written obliga-
ton to consult jointly whenever the
peace of the continent is endangered
and at the request of any one of the
signatory parties, whether involved or
not in the controversy
Aims and Rules Specified.
Even more serious. and more un-
fair. IS the other reproach. The COM
promise of consultation is neither
vague nor simply theoretical. Those
who make the imputation must refer
only to the first convention, which
IS short and drafted in more or less
general terms, but not to the main
one, which in eight long articles pro-
vides the aims, the means and the
rules Of such consultation, intended,
precisely, to Coordinate and make
effective the various instruments
which have failed to preserve peace
in the past.
The language of Article I of this
latter convention provides specifically
that the joint consultation should be
for the definite purpose Of assisting
"in the fulfillment by the American
republics Of existing obligations OF
pacific settlement" and it takes great
pains in describing one by one what
such obligations are, from the agree
ment to submit all controversies to
commission Of inquiry, as specied
in the Gondra convention Of 1923,
to the pledge to apply diplomatic and
noncompliance with those obligations,

In other words, consultation Is not
agreed upon in vague and abstract
way, but, on the contrary, is given a
definite and for the flrst time co-ordi-
