-" "os intervene Between chile
and Argentina.
New York, Dec, 80.-The Journo,
Mys that President Roosevelt will not
'ei'uer the good offices Of this govern
men! 10 settle the dispute between Ar.
gentina and Chile.
The only condition on which the
uh'ted states would step in would be
we JOINT request Of Argentina and
Inc above statements are from au.
thorltative state department sources
ana represent the exact attitude of this
government toward the Argentina.
Chile affair.
II can be stated, however, that the
United States does not wholly approve
OF the settlement OF South American
aHa1rs by European nations even as
arpltra tors. Spain has recently become
an arbitrator for Venezuela, and now
comes Great Britain as an arbitrator
DIS between Chile and Argentina.
The underlying purpose of the con-
gress at the City of Mexico was to get
some agreement whereby all Ameri-
cans could settle their differences with
out foreign aid in any shape or form.
1t has been said. too. that President
roosevelt stands for this principle and
that he would therefore hail with de-
light any circumstance which would
substitute the United States instead of
Great Britain as the arbiter of the i'm
pending struggle between the South
American republics.
1t is a question seriously discussed
here whether President Roosevelt
would permit either of the disputing
republics to acquire territory from the
other. This Is modern construction
OF the Monroe doctrine, but one which,
it is said, President Roosevelt is ready
to apply in the Argentina Chile case
even If the British arbitration tribunal
should award territory to either ma.
ton.
The state department officials do not
regard the reported uprisings at Bue-
nos Ayres as serious enough to inter-
fere with the orderly progress of the
negotiations for arbitration.
