THE heads of the progressive labor

CH|LE'S SIDE GIVEN

Step Insures American Par

Discussion.
BY the Associated Press.

Sy Ihe ASSOCIATED fretk.
The tangled skein of negotiations
enmeshing the Chilean-Peruvian con-
ference finally was handed over to
the American State Department yes
terday for unraveling.
Chile. following a lead taken by
Peru more than a week ago. took the
step necessary to insure American
participation in the discussions when
Chilean Ambassador Matthew visited
the department and laid the Chilean
side OF the case before Secretary
Hughes.
Just what the ambassador told Mr..
Hughes was kept a secret. but there
was an understanding In we'll in
formed conference circles that the
Chilean position had been outlined in
such conciliatory terms as to make
department officials highly confident
Of a Anal settlement.
Arbitration Prospects.
1t would occasion widespread sur
prise here II the Chileans having gone
thus far toward adjustment of the
generation-old quarrel over the Tacna-
formula of arbitration giving to the
arbitrator broad authority to deter

would take into account the plebi-
scite provision Of the Ancon treaty.

scite at this late day would not ac-

treaty.
Two important considerations were
counted as strens nsthening the possi-
bilittes OF success for the mediatory
plan now to be put into operation.
One was q feeling in many quarters
that it Is only question OF phrase
ology, and not one Of principle. which
had brought the direct negotiations
to deadlock.
omces Of Mr.. Hughes.
The other. was a belief among
Chilean and Peruvian officials alike
that, having intrusted Mr.. Hughes
promise. neither side would find 1t
easy to resist his solution, even
though neither had been bound in
advance to accept 1t.
A further evidence Of the general
confidence in the result was given
BY the departure from Washington
late yesterday of Tomas A. LIE Bre-
ton, retiring Argentine amba ssador
here. who twice had postponed his
withdrawal in order to be in a posi-
tion to observe the Chilean Peruvian
conversation. Just before he left he
had long talk with Undersecretary
Phillips of the State Department and
paid visit also to Secretary Hughes
