Next Tuesday,
w

NTASiIINGToN Dec. g. Grave
w controversies between nations
of South America and tho bellgerent
countries Of Europe led today to the
calling Of a conference for next Tues
day Of the governing board Of the
Pan-Amerlcsn union.
Before this board, which consists Of
the diplomatic representatives. here OF
twenty American republics, with the
secretary OF state of the United States
as chairman, eX-officio, will come the
various suggestions which have been
made by Argentine, Chuo, Peru,
Uruguay and Ecuador for a stronger
assertion OF the rights Of neutral and
the exclusion Of belligerent warships
from the waters Of tho Americas.
Evidences of the serious situation
IN south America, due 10 the presence
OF bclligereut warships on both the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts. was con
talned in a dispatch received tonight
by Eduardo Suarez- Mujlca. the
chilean ambassador, from the minis
ter Of foreign affairs at Santiago.
Others May Violate.
The fear is expressed by the Chilean
officials that Germanys alleged vio-
lation Of the neutrality Of chile may
influence the other bclligerents to
disregard the territorial jurisdiction Of
chile and perhaps cause them to send
Their warshtps within the three-mile
limit to stop German operations
. Al
whatever steps are taken should have
the earnest and united support Of all
the American republics
originally Great Britain and France
asked the United States to exercise its
good offices with Ecuador and Co
lombia to secure a strict observance
by these nations OF neutrality obliga-
tions.
Although this controversy, accord
ing to latest reports is being adjusted
the menacing situation in Chile has
emphasized the dangers to South
American republics Of the continued
presence Of foreign warships off their
coast
Since the outbreak OF the war these
South American countries have made
a series OF suggestions TO the United
States, asking for cooperation in a
movement that would tend to restore
trade conditions. Peru suggested that
a neutral zone be created with mer-
idians as boundaries on both the At
lantic and Pacific sides Of the two
continents. Another country pro-
posed the extension Of the territorial
jurisdiction Of all countries from the
three-mile limit TO a sufficient dis
tance which would permit coastwsc
trade to move unmOleSted. Ecuador
