Visit to President

WASHINGTON, Nov 13.-It is the
understanding among prominent South
American members Of the diplomatic
corps that the visit of President Campos-
sailes of Brazil to the president Of
Argentina has been productive of an
agreeable understanding by which these
two powerful republics of the south are
likely to exert their united influences
toward the pacific adjustment of some
of the perplexing- questions which have
disturbed their neighboring republics.
While there is said to have been no
formal treaty of alliance the indications
are that the two nations will now carry
forward the same general policy for a
pacific adjustment of pending difficulties.
One Of these concerns the coast line Of
Bolivia, At one time Bolivia was pos
seSsed of e, considerable ocean front with
some good harbors. But as a result of
warfare Chile took possession of all Bo-
livia's coast liue, leaving that country in
much the same condition as Switzerland,
without access to the sea, and hemmcA
In on all sides by opposing forces. Bo-
liviaS has taken this very much to heart
and her pleas have appealed TO the sense
of justice of quite a number of the South
American states 1t is believed that Boz
livia's plight has been taken into con-
sideration in conversations between the
presidents OF Brazil and Argentina and
that without any recourse to arbitrary
means they will try to induce Chile to
grant RoliVia a restoration Of at least
some part of her coast line, thus restor-
ing her to her former dignity and i'm
portance as q maritime nation. Owing
to the strong bonds between these two
nations and Chile it is felt that Chile VII
be disposed to grant every just desire fer
the rehabilitation of Bolivia. Beyond
this, however, there is said to be no like,
lihood OF any pressure beirg brought to
bear on Chile as it is only through pacific
means and the usual exercise of good Of
fees that the change IS hoped TO be
brought about
TO MAKE AN END OF STRIFE
The Argentine minister, Dr. Edouard
Wilde is asked today as to the report OF
political significance attaching to Presi-
cent Campos- Salles visit to Argentina
The minister answered that he had re-
ccived no official adviceS on the subject
but he eelt warranted in expressing his
personal conviction that the visit would
have a very good result in uniting more
firmly the close political relations. The
visit was largely social and compli-
mentary, being a return of the trip made
by the president of Argentina to Brazil
last year. Doubtless this had been an op-
portunity during the exchange of feIiei-
tationS to take over those subjects on
which Brazil and Argentina are mutual
ly inter 2Sted. DIR. Wilde says both of tho
countries desire an end to the petty COM
plications which have arisen from time
to time in neighboring countries. so that
there may be uninterrupted peace for the
development of splendid natural re-
sources. AS to Bolivia, DR.. Wilde said he
is not advised, but thought it quite like
ly that Brazil and Argentina would make
known their desire for a pacific adjust
ment of this long pending source of con-
fiict. The report which has gained circu-
lation that the southern countries might
form commercial alliance which would
prove antagonistie to the United States
is dismissed by DR.. Wilde as entirely
without foundation. He says there is IL
official circles throughout South America
the very highest regard of the great re-
public of the north and that ccmmerce
with this country is baing constantly fos,
tered There is no disposition anywhere
to interrupt this favorable condition, bu1
a constant desire to increase the trade
relations ard the strong political bonds
Of friendship existing between North and
South America.
