Pan-American Agreements For Peace

APPEAL TO NATIONS “Build a Structure Ensuring Peace” By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Received February 26, 10 p.m.) Washington. February 26. Mr. Cordell Hull, the United .States Secretary of State, in an address to the Council of Foreign Relations, pleaded with the governments of the world to follow the example of the pan-Ame-rican nations, which, at the Inter-Ame-rican Peace Conference at Buenos Aires in December, concluded treaties for the maintenance of peace, for the co-ordi-nation and amplification of existing treaties, and for observance of nonintervention in international disputes, by agreement among the representatives of nations of North and South America.

“1 cannot believe it is beyond the power of statesmen to check the reverse drift of international anarchy to which some parts of the world find themselves moving,” he said. “The work, of the recent conference proves no part of the world needs to reconcile itself fatalistically to the inevitability of war. The entire world can build upon the same basic principles that were implemented at Bueqos Aires, and 1 hope with all my heart that they will build a structure ensuring peace.”
