Bolivia intends to set up a. claim for
the provinces of Tacna ant africa, under
the doctrine of President Wilson that
nations are entitled to an outlet to the
sea, was indicated today by General
Monies, Bolivian minister to France.
In statement to the Associated Press

The claims of Chile and Peru to
these provinces are based purely on
political argurAHnts, while those of Bo-
hvla are based on the vital right of
access TO the ocean through the nat
ural channel of these provinces. With
out access to the sea, OF which we
were deprived when we lost Antofa-
gasta as a consequence of the Pacific
