This peace does not prevail the hemisphere has no international prob- lems of its own.

In a speech délivered on Pan-Amer- san Day, the American Secretary of State called attention to the settlement serious relations in the past few (1) Colombia and Peru settled a delicate question that threatened friendly relations between them, (2) Ecuador and Peru have negotiating for many years in an effort to anding territorial dispute be- because amicably been settle an outs’ tween them. (3) The Chaco war betw aguay, which ended in 19: gates of five friendly nations have trying to find a permanent pacific solution the entire dispute for.some,time.

AT} ’ (5) Only a few months the | Dominican Republic and Haiti concluded | an agreement regarding a serious situation | that threatened peaceful relations that | existed between them. { We call attention to these examples | because one is apt, in viewing the modern world, to overlook the instances where | peaceful relations have been maintained. | There is no doubt but that, under the pi | tices of some nations, causes of war existed | in each of the disputes referred to above. However, because of a sincere belief in the peaceful settlement of international dis- | putes and the cooperation of friendly na- | tions, the disputants have managed to avoid anything like a continental war. The continuation of peace on_ this continent depends upon rigid adherence to certain fymdamettal principles. That the United States, as the largest and most powerful nation on the continent, must set the example and exhibit rare forbearance, is apparent. This nation is earnestly seek- ing to promote and deyelop good feeling in this hemisphere and it is worth noting that Secretary Hull, in his address, outlined the principles upon which peace must be built. He listed the right of each nation to conduct its own affairs, free from outside interference; the principles of sovereignty and equality of nations, irrespective for law | and the pledged word, scrupulous observ- ance of treaty obligations; friendly and | cooperative effort in promoting peace; mutually beneficial economic intercourse, i based upon the rule of equal treatment. There can be little doubt that if the nations of Europe were following the prin- i ciples briefly enunciate above by the Anierican Sec retary gt State, the; continent of Europe would not now he facing a ter- | rible war.
