PACIFIC SETTLEMENT PLEDGED
* —_ DISPUTE BETWEEN BOLIVIA -AND PARAGUAY (Received December 25, 10.50 p.m.) BUENOS AIRES, December 23. The Pan-American conference for the maintenance of peace ended its three-weeks’ session with the Foreign Ministers of Paraguay and Bolivia pledging their countries to settle the Gran Chaco dispute by pacific means. An assistant read a speech by Mr Corcleli Hull (United States Secretary of State), who is suffering from a cold, in which he praised the treaties in which 21 American republics agreed to consult together for common defence in the event of a threat of war within or without America, and the attempt to find a common neutrality course, even in a war anywhere in the world. “We must destroy war or war will destroy us,” he said. He challenged the rest of the world to follow their example in charting a course to peace. _____________
