CNILE'S MOVE AGAIN;
PERU COMES AROUND
tBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July Z. = It was
Ch,le's move again on the diplomatic
checkerboard of the Chilean-Peruvian
conference.
Peru after two weeks of elaboration
had replied to the American compro-
mise proposal in an informal COM
munication which although still short
of a complete acceptance, contained
counter proposals of such character
as to establish further basis for
discussion.
The Chilean representatives were
not disposed to consent to any modi-
fcation of the American plan as al
ready accepted by them but they ap-
peared uncertain today whether the
change urged by Peru was of sufficient
importance TO stand in the way OF an
agreement.
Neither would the Chilean spokes-
men predict when their governments
reply would be ready. The delegation
here has been given broad authority
but it was understood that it might
desire the advice of officials in San
tiago before taking definite action.
