BORDERS AND BOMBS
The "new order" of adjusting border disputes is being amply demonstrated in Europe. There is another demonstration going on, however, of how to adjust borders without either bombs or bombast.
It is in the Western Hemisphere. Peru has at last accepted, with some qualifications, true, but with evidence of sincerity, the offer of the United States, Argentina, and Brazil, to help settle her 110-year dispute with Ecuador over certain rich lands in the Amazon waters. This acrid dispute has kept both countries on the edge of war many times, and if it can be thus amicably imbrained instead of bombed, a good example will have been set.
It may be recalled that the U.S. Canadian border, once a dispute that led to the edge of war, has at last been settled. There are even today being determined the allegiance of small islands.
