LIMA, Peru, May 5.-In an inter-
view regarding the existing troubles
between Brazil and Peru Foreign Min
lister Pardo has stated that his gov
eminent is preparing to resist the "un-

1t was, Senior Pardo asserted, a po-
litical whim of Baron Rio BrancO. Bra
zil's foreign minister, to annex the ter
ritories of A%lto-Jurua and Alto-Purtis,
|inventing as Il basis for such action
stories of Peruvian invasions, and
Brazil, Minister Pardo said, had now
sent troops to occupy the coveted re-
gions.
The truth, said Senior Pardo, is that
Peru has never moved from points
she has occupied for many years. and
i'll proof of this lie asserted that when
Brazil opposed the formation of the
Acre syndicate her foreign Office urged
MS the principal argument against the
concession the rights of Peru to the
very same territory.
yet Il few months later" concluded
Minister Pardo, Baron Rio Branco
forgot Brazil's words and decided to
this territory, which had pre-
viously been declared to be Peruvian,
but it is very rich in caoutchouc."
