LATIN AMERICA.

UNITED STATES AND SALVADOR. By Telegraph—Press Association—Oopyrlithtf (Eec. August 8, 11.30 p.m.) Washington, August B. ■' Tho United States has agreed to^Oon- 1 ! vontion with tho republic of on similar lines to Mr. Bryan's abortivaj peace treaties with Britain and Franco. I Under the tonus of tho treaty, a Commis-] sion will be appointed to examine into any dispute and declaro tho facts before! tho world, leaving tho world to judgo which nation ds right and whioh wrong. ~ ■ Congress is likely to pass tho treaty, i President Wilson's policy with regard to tho application of tho Monroo Do«trino in th,o Latin American republics, sets forth that; "Ono of tho chief objects of my Administration will bo to cultivate! tho friendship and deserve tho confidonco' of oar sister republics of Central" audi South America, and to promote in every,! propor and honournblo way tho interests; which are common to tho peoples of the two Continents Co-operation is pos-| siblo only when supported at overy turn by tho orderly processes of just govern-, mont based upon law, not upon arbitrary, 1 or irregular forco. Wo hold, as I aju'i sure all thoughtful leaders of republican.; go\ernment everywhere hold, that just) government rests always upon tho consent \ of tlm governed, and that tlie.ro can b<n ■ no freedom without order based, upon law and upon tho public conscience and approval. . . . Wo 6hall lend our influonoo, of every kind to tho realisation of tliesoj principles in fact and practice, , that disorder, personal intrigue, and de-( lianoa of constitutional rights weaken andi • discredit government and injure none; as much as tho people who aro unfortunate 1 enough to havo their common life'and thoir common effairs so tainted aud disturbed. Wo can have no sympathy with; those who seek to seize tho power ofj government" to ndvauco ..their own per* sonal interests or ambition. . . As friends, therefore, wo shall prefer those who act in tho interest of pence and honour,, who protect private rights and resjiect; the restraints of constitutional provision. "Tho United States has nothing-to peek , in Central South America except tho lnslIng interests of tho peoples of. tho two continents, tiro security of governments intondod for tho people and for no special group or interest, and tho development) of personal and trodo relationships between Cho two continents which shall -redound to tho profit and advantage of ljnl.li, and interfere wilh the nghts.nnd libcrlmi of neither. From these principles )na>" bo read so much'of tho ■ future policy of this Government as it is necessary now « to forecast."
