 The Argentine foreign office is given credit in South America for averting by mediation a conflict oVAE disputes arising from the retention by Chile of the provinces of Tacna and Africa, taken from Peru in 1878, and the insistence of Bolivia. upon an out let to the Pacific However, the inci- dent Is not regarded here as having been of sufficient importance to war rant an assumption of an alliance be- tween Chile and Argentiia, tradition ally separated and allied respectively with Brazil and Peru.
