CHILE TELLS i. S.
SHE'LL AVOID WAR

Chile has answered the United
States informally. in the chile-Peru
situation, that she will do all she
can to prevent hostilities.
The United States Government
stands ready" to tender alone, OF
with other American countries, "all
possible assistance" in settling the
Chile-Peru difficulties.
This was the offer made in the State
Department note to the two govern
ments. The offer was interpreted by
Peru as being an offer of good Of
fices.
1t pointed out that this country
would view gravely any conflict be-
tween Peru and Chile at this time
when the world peace session is about
to convene.
The note follows:
THE President of the United States
desires to inform your excellencies
that the various incidents leading UP
to the severance OF consular rela-
lions btween the republics OF Chile
and Peru have been viewed by the
Government OF the United States with
the greatest apprehension. Any agi-
tation tending to lessen the prospects
world, particularly on the eve of the
convoking of the peace conference in
Paris, in which II is confidently ex.
pected that steps will be taken to
provide for an era OF lasting peace
among all peoples, would be disas-
trous, and those persons who had
caused this condition would be
charged with grave responsibilities
before the world for their actions.
THE President OF the United States
feels 1t his duty to draw to the at
tention of the governments of Chile
and Peru the gravity of the present
situation, and to point out to these
governments the duty which they owe
to the rest OF he world and to man
kind in general to take immediate
steps to restrain popular agitation
and to re-establish their peaceful re-
lations.
That a satisfactory and peaceful
solution Of the matter in dispute be-
tween the two countries may be ar.
rived at, there can be no doubt, and
the Government OF the United States
stands ready to tender alone, or in
conjunction with, the other countries
of this hemisphere, all possible as
sistance to bring about an equitable
solution of the matter"
