CHILE AND PERU
SIGN AGREEMENT /: ! L. 1 !
Action4Hailed by Hughes as
Sweeping victorysto
World Arbitration.

WASHINGTON, July 21.--s The
agreement of Chile and Peru to ar
bitrate their Tacna-Arica contro-
versy was signed by the plenipo-
tentiaries OF the two governments
today at a final session of the Chill
ean-Peruvian conference here.
Signatures Of the arbitration pro-
tocot and it's complimentary act was
begun at 11:43 a. m.
The conference adjourned sine:
die at 1919 p. m.
The agreement of Chile and Peru
to settle their ancient dispute over
Tacna-Arica by arbitration was
hailed by Secretary Hughes in a
speech at the closing session of the
Chileon-Peruvian conference he1 e
today as sweeping victory for the
conference plan" of international
negotiation.
'Is war is to be prevented when
international controversies arise, it
can only be accomplished through
the willingness of nations to pro-
vide for the contracts of honorable
.and reasonable men who honestly
desire to erase difficulties rather
than. to keep. them alive" said the
Secretary OF State.

of new day in Latin-America,' =
Mr.. Hughes continued. This long
standing controversy has been a
sort spot, and this amicable adjust
ment is the healing which gives
promise of the development Of bet
ter relations throughout Latin
America and OF the promotion of
the growth of sound opinion. 1t is
a vindication of the processes of
peace.
May i say that in showing that
it was possible to provide plan
for the amicable settlement of the
Tacna-Arica controversy you have
clearly indicated that no difference
in Latin-lAmerica is incapable of So
luton This is the greatest for
ward step in the interest of peace
