consider such confidential communication as iustifyinga

that Government could not refuse to recognize tun

effort was expected be, not much protest against

unofficial communications with the Chilian authorizes
with whom you we're daily assoctted, To induce them
10 support the policy of giving to Peru without tire mpo
sltion OF harsh and absolute conditions precedent the
opportunity to show that the nights and interests O
Chill could be satisfied without such annexation.
There is enough in your meInorandnm, II carefully
considered. to indicate this purpose and only regret
that you did not state IT with distinctness and nee
cssary with a repetition which would have lnade I'M
possible anything but the most wiliu mlsconcepuon

be supposed by an excited pube opinion on rther fde

a Minister be sent by tnat Government 20 Peru. This
would have been clearly without inc sphere oi your
r"ner Iicial action al any time but az there then cI
fsted q serious difference between Chill and the Argon
tine Confederation, you might naturally nave anLc
pated that recommendation would be cOnsidercd
by Chill as an effort effect political combination
against her. The United states was not in search ALI
ances support "a hostile demonstration against Chill
and such xiety might well be deemed Inconsistent
with the professions Of an Impartial hedlation.
