If Dispute Cannot Be
Settled by ENJOYS, Ar

Washington, Jan. 18.-(By The As.
soeitaed Press. 1.-The American gov
eminent has interviewed in the contro-
versy between Chile and Peru, involv-
ing the execution of the treaty OF
Ancon, under which the Tacna-Arica
dispute arose, inviting the two South
American governments to send pleni-
potetiaries to Washington for con-
ference. Chile has accepted the invi-
tation, q message from Santiago an
nounces.
The invitations, it was said at the
state department., were forwarded to
the foreign ministers of Chile and
Peru several days ago in the name Of
President Harding. The text of the
invitation indicated that it was the
view of the American government
that, should the representatives OF the
two governments be unable at their
conference at Washington to settle the
points in controversy, they would ar
range for arbitration of the dispute.
Text of Presidents Offer
The text of the invitation follows:
"The government of the United
States, through the courtesy of the
minister of Peru in Washington, has
been kept informed of the progress Of
the recent negotiations carried on di-
rectly by kilograms between the gov
ernments of Chile and Peru, looking
toward settlement of the long
standing controversy with respect to
the unfulfilled provisions of the treaty
of Ancon. 1t has noted with utmost
feeling of greatest pleasure and salts
faction, the spirit of Cancellation which
has animated the two governments and
that, as a result of the direct ex-
changes of views, the idea of arbitra-
ton of the pending difficulties is ac-
ceptable in principle to both. 1t also
has taken note of the suggestion that
representatives of the two govern
ments be named to meet in Washing
ton with a view to finding the means
of settling the difficulties which have
divided the two countries.
