Tacna-Arica Case
Holds Attention
League Assembly

Geneva, Dec. IL. (By The Associated
Press. 1.-The Tacna- africa case, which
in the last forty eight hours developed
q serious crisis in the League Of Ma
tons Assembly was the subject Of
long discussion at a special meeting
of the Bureau of the assembly today.
The council Of the League also dis
cussed the recent developments caus-
ed by renewal Of the Bolivian demand
for hearing Of the Tacna AFRICA ques-
ton BY the present assembly. Lead
ers Of both the assembly and the
League has agreed that the case must.
If possible. be determined to come
before the present session. Bolivia is
being urged to accept a compromise
by referring the case to special COM
mission which would report at the
next meeting Of the assembly.
The representatives of Bolivia and
Chilesare silent, but it has been learn
ed that Chile probably will accept the
proposal.
After the meeting Of the council Paul
Hymaas told the Associated Press
that everything was being done to In
duce both countries to postpone the
case. He said 1t was hoped they
would agree with the view of the great
majority OF the delegates that the
case can not be heard at this session.
He did not believe either country would
withdraw from the assembly and de-
clared reports to this effect to be pre-
mature.
Indications of the feeling over the
case are to be found in the fact that
the representatives Of Peru and Bolivia
failed to attend a formal dinner given
by the Chilean delegation last night in
honor of the South and Central Ameri-
can states. Bolivia reiterates her
contention that Tacna- africa is her only
outlet to the sea. The case is compli-
Gated, according to the delegates, by
the discovery Of valuable deposits Of
nitrates in the disputed territory.
The assembly is deeply concerned
over the, situation. the seriousness Of
which there is no effort to conceal.
