by diplomatic agency, may be referred to arbitration, and
be peaceably adjusted by such means.
On May 9th, 1890, Don Arturo de Marcoartu
moved in the Spanish Senate that the Spanish
Government should enter into relations with
other European powers to bring about a
permanent tribunal of arbitration in Europe. In
the first place, the mover proposed that the
states should come to an agreement upon a
general truce for five years. In that interval
a congress of emissaries from all the European
Governments and Parliaments should be called
together. The business of the congress should
be to work out a code of international law.
The proposition was urged, especially with
regard to the necessity of finding a reasonable
solution of the great social question, since all
effort in that direction appears to be hopeless
so long as the savings of the nations are
swallowed up by military expenditure. The
Minister of Foreign Affairs requested the
Senate to take the proposition into serious
consideration, and on June 14th the Senate
resolved to authorize the Government to enter
into negotiations with foreign powers for the
object indicated.
