WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-It is the
understanding among prominent South
American members Of the diplomatic
corps that the visit of President Campos-
Sales 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 difiicultizs $.
One of these concerns the coast line OF
Bolivia. At one time Bolivia was pos
SeSSed of e considerable ocean front vii h
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-
liVia7 has taken this very much to heart
and her pleas have appealed 10 the sense
of Justice of quite number Of the South
American states, 1t is believed that Boz
liVia's plight has been taken into con-
sideratiOn in converse tons between the
presidents OF Brazil and Argentina and
that without any recourse to arbitrary
means they will try to induce Chile to
grant BOLIVIA a restoration Of at least
some part of her coast line, thus restor
ing her to her former dignity and i'm
pOrtance as a maritime nation. OWN
to the strong bonds between these two
nations and Chile, it is felt that Chile WI
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 Being 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- Sales 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 OPP
| portunity during the exchange of feici-
| tations to take over those subjects ON
! which Brazil and Argentina are mutual
! ly inter asted. DR.. 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-
! fict. The report which has gained circu-
| lation that the southern countries might
! form commercial alliance which would
! prove antagonistic 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 commerce
| with this country is baing constantly fOs,
| tered There is no disposition anywhere
| to interrupt this favorable conditions, but
! a constant desire to increase the trade
| relations ard the strong political bonds
| of friendship existing between North and
