LEAGUE CLAMI NEDATION CREDT Spokesmen Say It Played Major Part in Averting Bolivian War. By FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. | While Secretary Kellogg. as chairman of the recent pan-American Conference in Washington, claims that it was! through its “efforts” that a Bolivian- Paraguayan war was prevented, the League of Nations interposes a demu rer to that contention. Information de rived by this writer from an authorita- tive quarter indicates that the Geneva organization is not disposed to let the session. Thereupon, in telegrams sent to Bolivia and Paraguay, M. Briand added that “the Council, whose every effort had almed at preventing an ag- gravation of the dispute, and at pro- moting a pacific settlement by whatever means, could but congratulate itself on the stoppage of a conflict between twe members of the League. It could but wish that, thanks to the procedure adopted by the two parties, a settlement of their dispute might restore between them as promptly as possible a good tulndgrscnnding and peaceful co-opera- | jon. In bringing the Pan-American Con- ference to a close on January 5, Secre- | tary Kellogg used these words: _“May I also refer to the fortunate circumstances that this conference was | in session when the differences arose between two of our sister. republics. These difficulties made dramatically | evident the fact that the peace of the Americas is a matter that lies close to| the heart of all the nations of this hemisphere, and is something for which all the governments, members of the Pan-American Union, fegl a real re- sponsibility.

JAMES, G. 1418 “H” Se. N. W. T Pan-American Union monopolize the South American peace laurels. They belong largely, if not entirely, accord- ing to League spokesmen, to the “So- ciety of Nations” on the Quai Woodrow Wilson. Both Bolivia and Paraguay are members of the League. The League Council, under the energetic di- rection of its acting president, M. Briand of France, cleared for action as soon as war threatened. The Coun- cil urgently advised pacific settlement. Its admonitions were accepted. Peace was not broken. Hence—as Geneva sees it—the League emerges from its first test as a South American peace- keeper with flying colors. $ It will probably come as a surprise to most Americans to learn that there were “behind-the-scenes negotiations with the United States Government and others,” which, Geneva informa- tion alleges, “really” constituted the | most important feature of the whole ! Bolivian-Paraguayan incident.” Secre- tary Kellogg was interested in prevent- ing war for two reasons. He is not only this country’s Secretary of State, but was acting as chairman of the pan- American arbitration and conciliation conference in Washington. This would explain the League's assertion that “far | from discouraging any action on_the part of Geneva, the United States Gov- ernment expressed its satisfaction at the attempts the League was making to preserve peace.” Held Far-Reaching Result. | | There appears to be no disposition on | the part of the international organiza- | tion in Switzerland to minimize the role | of the pan-American Conference, but it is flat-footedly declared at Geneva ihat the Bolivian-Paraguayan dispute was settled “largely through the interven- tion of the League Council.” It is fur-| ther insisted that “the League has cer- | tainly done something to estabiish its| position on the American continent and to pave the way for collaboration with the United States on political questions.” League authorities consider “this an extremely important result which may have considerable consequence in the | {future.” ‘Washington is just in receipt of copies of the official memorandum issued by the League secretariat on the Bolivian-Paraguayan conflict, It reads, | in part, as follows: “On December 11 the secretary gen- eral of the League reminded both Bo- livia and Paraguay that by signing the ouvenant they had solemnly plecged themseives to seek by pacific means the solution of the dispute arising between them. Paraguay telegraphed that she did not refuse any conciliation proced- ure, ‘still less the procedure laid down in conyentions to which she has given her solemn acceptance.’ Bolivia tele- graphed that the Council’s communica- tion had been submitted to the Presi- dent of the republic. On December 14 the President and foreign minister of Boljyia telegraphed that the Council of the League and its president ‘might rest essured that Bolivia would not depart. from the priciples and obligations con- tained in the covenant of the League.'” Various Steps Detailed. After detailing the various steps then taken by the League Council, which was about to close its ordinary session at Lugano, the Geneva official statement points out that President Briand and Secretary- General Drumond proceeded at Paris “to a certain number of con- « versations with a view to examining the possibility of facilitating settlement of Bolit -] nflict.” It /THE JULIUS LANSBURGH FURNITURE COMP AN Y Z ll7LENTRANCE—909 F STREET N.W.

In his conversations with the Argentine and United States charges d’affaires, the president of the Council explained that unless the Bo- livian and Paraguayan governments ac- .cepted during the next few days in one form or another mediation enabling a ‘ settlement of the dispute by pacific ‘means to be contemplated, it would be i difficult for the Council not to take a «decision to hold an extraordinary ses- sion to examine what measures should he taken. That would be the case either because war would have broken out. or | because it would be on the point of | fbreaking out between two members of the League of Nations, “The president of the Council added [¥ that he would consider as essential the = | ! establishment of complete co-ordination = | A between all those who were working to 3 ieecure the settlement of the dispute by | ,pacific_ means. On the 18th press dispatches reported that Bolivia accept- ed the mediation of the Pan-American Conference, of which Paraguay had al- ready declared its acceptance in the ebove-mentioned telegram to the presi- dent of the Council.
