Peace machinery that leaps into motion on the threat of war and stays in motion until peace is again obtained is the ideal that Ricardo J. Alfaro, former president of Panama, declared is needed to settle Pan-American relations. He gave the speech yesterday evening in Emerson Hall.
Speaking under the auspices of the Oscar S. Strauss Memorial Association, of New York, Alfaro said that there is a peace machinery in the Americas which is composed of 10 different agreements. However, he felt that if once there were a war, confusion would result because of the lack of coordination between these features.
There are definite needs, Alfaro said, which if carried out would make for organization of the instruments of peace. First of all it is necessary to dovetail the existing treaties and amendments. Enlargement of the scope of arbitration and the founding of an American Court of international justice. The special needs of the Americas he said necessitated a court outside of the World Court.
