Achievement at Buenos Aires
CNew York World -Telegram)

(New York World-Teegram)
 The Buenos Aires conference is already success. If the delegates do nothing more than return to their respective homes with the Inter American Peace Pact already initiaed they will have to their credit of the most important accomplishments in the history of the Western Hemisphere.
 To whom is the credit due? In the general re- joicing that followed the peace agreement Latin American orators lavshy extolled President Roose- welt for his part in initiating the conference. One newspaper correspondent observed-It can be safely said that MT. Roosevelt will not again get so much praise until the next meeting of the Democratic Ma tional Convention"
 But only a casual comparison of the finished treaty with the draft proposed by the U S delegation is enough to show that the final understanding is the handiwork of MT Roosevelt of MT. Hull and the other delegates from Washington. It is a more simple and in opinion, more practicable and effective plan than the original Hull proposal.
 Dispatches indicate that the Mexican delegation took the lead in efecting this smplification But the very simplicity and informality of the plan, and its wholehearted acceptance, indicate that it not the product of any any one delegation, but meeting of the minds of all
 The terms are brief. The treaty provides merely that if the peace of the Americas is threatened either from within without all twenty repub- lies will immediately consult to determine what steps to take to maintain peace in this hemisphere. Yet, without the mention of it. these simple pro- mark the end of the historic Monroe Doctrine as it has been perverted and applied by previous U administrations down through the years Hereafter the tranquility and security of the peoples of the two continents will be mutual responsibility of all Ameri can republics
 Under terms of the pact the United States relin- quishes the big stick" has been the of much resentment among the peoples who live south Of the Rio Grande Henceforth the United States will sit equal with the twenty other republics in deciding policies of common concern in the Americas.
 Our Latin brothers count that as great gain. But the gain is also Theeway is paved for some
 
 The most pressing threat to the peace of the Americas is not from within. It is the threat that hangs the rest of the world, the danger of an early outbreak in Europe and Asia, both, and the risk that such cannot be kept from shores. The consultative pact makes it possible that the risk can be met by solid American resistance.

 The general conflict over the WPA is ap parently duplicated by conflict which MT Hopkins daily faces between his incnations on the one hand and the means at his dis posal on the other. In his recently published book on Federal relief he declares flatly that relief has never been adequate" Whatever else the curtailments now under way may do they will probably not help satisfy MT.

War Debts And Trade
(Cincinnati Enuulrer)


 The belief is being foStered Seduously in some quarters that the various European states seeking final war-debt settlements doing so merely in order to put themselves in position to borrow during he next imminent war. This may may not be rue But in any event, it is hardly why this country should decline overtures for debt settlement After a the United States has been trying earnestly for most of two decades to collect these debts with considerable success up to 1930
 In the Johnson Act Congress even went so far IS to deny access to the American money market to governments which were in default This dras- ic method of compelling payment or at any rate, forcing some settlement. The least do after these efforts to collect the debts is to welcome any serious proposition looking to final settlement
 Whatever the motive of the debtor states, it is to the interest of them and the United States alike to clear those debts off the books. There is little doubt but that the United States has lost in export trade than the total of the debt collections justifes If the debts remain in default America undoubtedly will continue to find it's commercial relations ham, pered in greater extent than the value of outstanding debts.
 In short, would do well to settle the debts re- gardless of how little is paid in the cash settlement This is matter of national sef-interest The motives of the debtor states have bearing the desrabily of reaching full debt settlement,
