With reference to the experiments made for the solution of this question I cannot do better than to quote in extensa from Dr. Reed's paper read at the Pan-American Medical Congress in Havana.

July 4, 1906, the third Pan-American conference was opened at Rio Janeiro. Among the leading questions discussed were: the right of creditor nations to enforce by war on the debtor nations contractual obligations, or the right to use gun-boats as collection agents; and those relating to commercial intercourse.

While the problems concerning China and the colonial possessions of the United States were reaching a settlement, on September 6, 1901, President McKinley attended the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, where he was shot by a young fanatic. He died eight days later and Vice-President Roosevelt succeeded him.
During his first term of office he invited the republics to send representatives to Washington to discuss arbitration, but his successor in office feared that such a meeting of "a partial group of our friends" might offend Europe, which indeed was not improbably part of Blaine's intention.
