CONFERENCE "vIcToRY"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A brighter sky for American
relationships was seen by diplomatic
and official Washington today as a re-
suit of the final accord of Chile and
Peru for arbitration of their forty
year dispute over Tacna-Arica.
The arbitration protocol, signed
yesterday, just before adjournment OF
the Chilean Peruvian conference con-
vened here ten weeks ago at the in
vitation of President Harding, was
commented upon by diplomatists and
by those in high authority in the
Washington government as not only
marking another victory for the CON
ference plan" of negotiation. but as
removing an international irritation
which might have had serious conse-
quences throughout the Americas.
StiIl to BE Ratified.
The protocol and it's Complementary
act still are to be ratified by the
Chilean and Peruvian congresses, and
although no serious opposition is eX-
pectcd here it appears likely that res
toration of diplomatic relations be-
tween Santiago and Lima, broken in
1910, will await parliamentary ap-
proval. The ratif1cations are to be
exchanged within a period of three
months under the terms of the set
tlement, and it is expected that Presi-
bitrator will begin formal considera-
tion of the question Immediately
afterward.

Some of the conference personnel
already had left Washington today
