secrets OF Peru and Bolivia and Chile.
The pamphlet contains statistical figures
such as only a person in his position could
obtain. That is one reason for the atten-
ton the pamphlet has attracted in Latin
American countries.
In the preface to the pamphlet the au-
thor declares hat while in Europe in 1906

Minister to Franco explained to him all
the projects Of Chile.

continue her crusade OF redemption. Chile
must make of South America one single

because she envies Chile's actual position
on the Pacifc. II Is natural that the ILL
feeling Of Argentina should bear fruit.

or any other nation, but upon Chile has been
imposed the mission OF civilizing the indo-
