ARBITRATION THE THEME OF PROF. BENJAMIN F. TRUEBLOOD OF THIS CITY AT LAKE MOHONK CONFERENCE He Cites the Progress Made in the Last Year in Arbitration.
Lake Mohonk, June 1. The Lake Mohonk conference on international arbitration is bein held and is well attended. The principal address today was by Benjamin F. Trueblood, L.L. D., secretary of the Peace Society of Boston, Mass. Following is a synopsis of the address: The standard by which the progresf of arbitration is now to be measured is the Hague Court, the way in which the governments act toward it and the people think and talk about it. With this standard before us, what has the last twelvemonth to show? "When we were here last year, the Court had dealt with and settled quickly and inexpensively the Pious Fund case, and we were throwing up our hats that the auirust tribunal had got successfully under way through the stimulation of the two foremost republics of this half of the world. Since that time the court has had before it and disposed of the most remarkable lawsuit, if lawsuit is the proper nam for it, which the world has ever seen. The question at issue was whether Great Britain, Germany and Italy, the three powers whicl had sent out their fleets to collect b force from Venezuela some debts claimed to be due sundry of their citizens, should have preferential treatment over the United States, France Mexico, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium and Sweden and Norway, in the payment of their claims from the Uiirty per cent, of the revenues of the two specified ports set apart for that purpose. The three belligerent powers on the one side and the seven pacific ones on the other five of them great powers, five of them smaller appeared on an equality at the bar of the Court, represented each by agents and counsel as eminent as the civilized world could furnish. Just here lies the immense significance of the case. The derision has given great disappoint-.
merit. Under the circumstances nc i other derision seems to have been ! possible. The award is likely to have j considerable influence in inducing the . governments of the world to o!erve j their contracts and promises more scrupulously than they have heretofore done. i The Japanese House Tax contro- j versy. which was referred to the j Court before the Venezuela case, has i not vet been disposed of. The writ-
ten arguments have been presented and the counter cases will be presented in the course of a few months.
But the Hague Court has received i
still more signal support during the year. Great Britain and France. France and Italy, Great Britain and Italy, Holland and Denmark, Great Britain ar.d Spain, Franc0 and Spain and France and Holland have, within the la-t eight months, concluded treaties undo the terms of which they have pledged themselves to submit for five rears certain classes of cases to the Tntvnational Court. The treatv between
Holland and Denmark is without limitations. The others reserve questions of vital interest and national honor, whatever these may be. Besides the cases dealt with by r Hague Court a number of cases have during the year been referred to spr rial arbitrators or arbitral commission'!. The most important of these are : The boundary dispute between Fc ndor and Peru. The claims for indemnity of French citizens on the Treaty Shore of Newfoundland, provided for in he general agreement bctweei France and Great Britain. The question of the boundary line at the entrance of the Christiana ford, between Sweden and Norway. The land question in the New liebrides, between France and England ; also provided for in the Anglo French agreement. The Barotzeland frontier question between Great Britain and Portugal. The controversy between the Turk
ish government and the administra tion of the Ottoman debt. Within the year several eases referred to special arbitrators of commissions have been decided. 'Ihe.se are: The ten cases of clrims against Venezuela, most of which nry completed; these cases were really arbitrations as provision was made, in case of necessity, for umpires. The interpretation of Article "!0 of the Commercial Treaty of 1S74, between Italy and Peru. The Tientsin Railway Siding dispute, between Russia and Great Britain. The Alaska Boundary dispute. This Alaska Boundary settlement j though not strictly an arbitration, is a great triumph of the principle of pacific adjustment. The immediate dissatisfaction in Canada produced by the award seems largely to have passed away. The removal of the matter from the field of controversy will, in the nature of the case, have a decided influence in promoting friendly relations between us and our northern neighbor. Besides the above cases, reveral which have been left over from previous years are still pending. The most important, event that has occurred in this country dining the year in connection with the arbitration movement was the formation in Congress on January 23 of an American group of the Interparliamentary Union. This union which has been in existence for fifteen years, and has grown to be a powerful association of more than a tho isand members, from the parliaments of all the
constitutional governments of Europe, has hitherto had little following in the United States, only two or three members of our Congress having been connected with it. On the 12th of January, the da before the organization of the gr-nq above alluded to, a great conference was held in Washington in the interest of arbitration a-.d especially of an arbitration treaty with (treat Britain. This conference was organized under the lead of Hon. John W. Foster, for the past two years chairman of this Mohonk Conference, the National Arbitratiton Committee appointed by a similar conference in Washington in April, 1S9G. This conference which brought together a most distinguished body of men. adopted resolutions urging our government to negotiate a treaty with Great Britain, and other powers ready to act, providing for the submission to the Hag'ie Court, of ail controversies not capable of solution by ordinary diplomatic agencies. Botk the president and secretary of state have expressed theii cordial approval, but the senate, as a part of the treaty making pov.-.'r, has not yet shown itself ready to move in the matter. V sub committee of the senate committee on foreign affairs is reported to have in contemplation a comprehensive schem-j of arbitration treaties with other nations going beyond anything that has yet been done, but so far as I know the details of the scheme have not , been made public. It is well within bounds to say that never before has the movement for, the general and permanent use of arbitration, through an estitlislied and universally recognized tribunal, been so deep and strong and widespread, and the hope of its early and 70111plete triumph so great, as since tlu conference met here last year.
