BOLIVIA CAUSES
DISTURBANCE IN
LATIN AMERICA
Determined to Seek Window
On Pacific at Expense of
Peru or ChiIe-Appeals
To League Of Nations.
By HENRY WALES.

Paris, March 4.-(New York
Times Chicago Tribune Cable.
Copyright. lo20)-Bolivia's deter
mination to seek window on the
Pacific at the expense of either Peru
or Chile by appealing to the league
of nations has caused disturbance
in Latin-American circles in Paris.
According to dispatches received in
Paris from Lima, the Bolivian gov
eminent at La Paz has directed its
minister to Paris to demand that the
league of nations award the prov
inces of Tacna and africa, now held
by Chile, to Bolivia. The Peruvian
minister made an energetic protest
against any such action, even deny
ing the right of the league of ma
tions to interfere in the affair i'll any
manner.
Senior Abanez, Chilean minister to
Paris, states the Santiago govern
ment would never accept any de-
cision or ALLEGATION of disputed
provinces by the leagut of nations.
Chile Seizes Provinces.
Following the Peru-Chile war,
Chile seized the provinces of Tacna
and africa as guarantee that Peru
would pay indemnity for the war.
According to the peace treaty, Chile
agreed to hand back these provinces
to Peru when the peace conditions
were carried out at the expiration of
IS years. The limit long since has
expired, but Chile has refused to re-
store the provinces to Peru, because
meanwhile immensely valuable nj
trate and potash deposits have been
discovered there, making the con-
tested provinces the richest in Chile.
In 1916 Peru felt in strong
enough position to attack Chile and
to retake the provinces by force.
But Peru lacked munitions and war
material and could not buy them
from the United States, as all the
American factories were under con-
tract to supply the allies. Peru
sought to place orders in Japan, and.
lacking cash, offered to cede the
Easter Islands in the Pacific to Jap
an in exchange for FIVE submarines,
20 batteries Of artillery and a big
consignment of shells, machine guns
and other war materials.
The United States State depart
ment got wind of the deal and in
timated America would not coun-
tenance transfer of the Easter is
lands to Japan because this arch
ipelago might form powerful
strategic base against the Panama
canal. The United States declared
war against Germany, and through
exerting strong pressure at Lima
and Santiago, STAYED off the pos
sibility of war between Peru and
Chile for the time being.
Peru, however, regards the Tac-
nae and africa provinces exactly as
France regards Alsace-Lorraine and
complained continually and bitterly
against Chile continuing to hold the
provinces.
Now Bolivia is hoping to profit
through the dispute over the claims
to the contested provinces by get
ting an outlet to the sea. Bolivia
wishes to tell the league of nations
that Tacnac and africa are just as
necessary to her as Danzig is to
Poland or Fiume is to the Jugo-
Slavs, giving her an outlet on the
Pacific.

Albany. n. Y, March 4,-Morris
Hillquit, summing up in a fve-hour
speech in defense of the suspended
socialist assemblymen who have
been under investigation for the pas.
seven weeks, told the assembly judi
ciary committee it had no right 70
impose upon these five men qualifca-
tions for Office not demanded by the
constitution.
Declaring that the whole proceed
ing against his clients was/"a part
of the national hysteria against radl-
calism,' Mr.. Hillquit demanded that
the judiciary committee frame re-
port recommending the seating OF
the five socialists and completed his
summing up with a warning that ii
the, assemblymen are unseated that
stain upon democracy will never be
washed off, never be removed"
That precedent once created"
he asserted, will work towards the
undoing of the entire constitutional,
representative system SO laboriously
built up and upheld in this coun-
try"
Mr.. Hillquit, replying to charges
made against socialists, said.
That the socialist party was rev.
olut,onary and tnat socialists are
revolutionists III the sense that they
favor a program that will take the
industrial system out of the hands
of private individuals and turn it
over to the people to organize it
properly.
That socialism has come to build
and not to destroy and that the mass
action the socialist party has in view
is the legal organized action of
large masses in the community,
Protest Was Duty. Z
That the socialist party did its
sacred duty to protest against the
war, inasmuch the socialist party
did not believe that democracy
would be assured as the result of
the war.
That the socialist party has
right to tell candidates elected on
the socialist platform to get out
of the party should they prove un-
true to platform pledges and
promises.
That the socialist party is not an
anti-national party and that if So
cialism is international, so is capi-
talism, art and modern life.
That the socialist party does not
approve of the soviet government of
Russia and does not seek to intro
duce a soviet form of government
in the United States, although SYM
pathizing with the Russian social
lists in the maintenance of their
4 soviet government.
