WASHINGTON, July 21 by The
Associated Observation-Disclosures bv
President Harding of the Chilean
Peruvian dispute over the provinces
Of Tacna and africa is expected to
begin in the fall. it was said TODAY
after the delegates of the two coun-
tries had signed formal agreement
10 submit their controversy to the
President. Secretary OF State Hughes
hailed the agreement as the greatest
achievement of this generation in the
direction Of peace and good under
standing in the new world.
The arbitration protocol and its sun
elementary act, the fruition of ten
weeks negotiations conducted in
Washington on the invitation of
President Harding, were signed by the
plenipotentiaries of the two govern
ments in the Hall of the Americas in
The Pan-American Union. They were
announced to the world in a series of
addresses hailing the settlement as an
epochal achievement in Pan American
cancellation.
Problem Forty Years Old
In turn, the spokesman of Chile,
Peru and the United States expressed
their qualification at final placement
Of the problem which for forty years
had been thorn in the side of inter
national relationships in the Western
Hemisphere.
When the final session of the con-
ference was ended the Chilean and Pc
ruyian delegates called at the White
House to thank Mr.. Harding for bring
ing them together and to receive his
assurance that he would accept his
designation as final arbitrator.
The next step will be ratification of
the two instruments, but the plenipo-
tentiaries are leaving Washington con-
hdent that their work will find ready
approval at home.
Carlos Aldunate Solar head of the
Chilean delegation; DR.. Melton Porras,
chief Peruvian plenipotentary, and
Seniors Matthew and Pezet, respectively
Chilean and Peruvian Ambassadors in
Washington, characterized the agree
ment as the dawn of q new day in PAN
America.
Ambassador Matthew declared the
one dominating thought of the occasion
was chat pan-Americanism is no
vain and empty word"
Monroe Doctrine Made Practical
"The concept of pan-Americanism,
announced by Bolivar and formulated
by Monroe" added the ambassador, as
to-day being given practical realiza-
ton by President Harding" =
Mr.. Hughes, who exercised his
friendly Offices toward the rapproche-
ment after the delegations had reached
"a deadlock early in their negotiations,
declared new day had begun in Latin
america, and that the conclusion
reached by the two delegations had
recorded another sweeping victory for
the conference plan" of international
DISCUSSION.
The machinery for arbitration prob
ably will not actually be set in motion
before November or December, al
though meantime the United States
government will take measures to in
form itself as fully as possible through
Informal methods regarding all the
considerations involved. 1t is hoped
among the officials of the Washington
government, as we'll as among the
Chilean and Peruvian representatives
here, that the hearing can be concluded,
decision rendered and the last trace
OF the ancient dispute removed from
Latln-American politics before the
nth pan-American conference meets
In Santiago, Chile, next March.
