lem of the Pacific" as a source of the

70 discuss their problem here. Secre-
tary Hughes was accorded the task
OF calling the conference 10 order and
sounding its keynote in an address
expressing the anxious. but impartial
interest of the United States in an
agreement.
Luis Izquierdo was delegated 10 re-
spond for Chile and Melton Porras
for Peru. In preparing addresses each
declared the willingness Of his govern
ment to accept a fair and just settle
ment and the hope OF his delegation
that the negotiations would be a sue

erings Washington has seen in many
years made up the list of invited
guests.
Today's session was the first oc-
casion in twelve years when fully ac-
credited plenipotentiaries of Chile ard
Peru had been placed side by side at
a council table. 1t marked a resump-
ton of diplomatic relations formally
broken off in 1910. although there have
been number of diplomatic express
sions have furnished any forecast Of
So far as the preliminary discus
sions have furnished nay forecast OF
the trend of the negotiations, they
! have indicated that one Of the biggest
problems of the conference might de-
velop very quickly when the pleni-
potentiaries attempt to agree on the
scope of the agreement to be con-
sidered here. In all her previous ex-
pressions Peru has maintained that
not only the little tract of Tacna-
africa was in dispute. but that she de-
sired broad adjustment Of all the
other issues growing out OF the war
OF the Pacific. Chile has insisted that
the only issue is sovereignty over
