His Tacna-Arica Award
Final, Word of Coolidge
Sends Communication to Peru
Wan Govt. Over His Find
ings in Dispute Between
That Nation and Chile-De-
clares Action Agrees With
General Principles of Inter-
national Law - Makes Ger
tain Additional Observations
(The Associated press)


Washington, April 9.-President
Coolidge informed the Peruvian gov
eminent today that he was con-
strained to regard his award as arbi-
TRAITOR in the Tacna-Arica dispute
between Peru and Chile as final
and without appeal" The commune
cation pointed out that this action
agreed with the terms of submission
as signed by the two governments
and also with the general principles
of international law.
This reply well might end here"
the president continued, but he add
ed, that, in Difference to the nations
involved and for a complete under
standing of the award he deemed it
advisable to make certain addi-
tional observations"
The complete correspondence be-
tween Mr.. Coolidge and Scion Polo,
president of the Peruvian defense
commission. was made public with
In few hours after the reply of the
arbitrator had been delivered to the
Peruvian embassy. The Peruvian
memorial devoted several pages to
an argument contending that the ar
bitrators action in ordering decla-
nation of sovereignty in Tacna and
africa through plebiScite was the
consequence of an error of trans
lation which runs through the en-
tire opinion and award" The refer
ence is to the English translation of
clause three of the treaty of Ancon
under which the two countries
aC
should he held either at or after"
the expiration of ten years.
Answering the Peruvian conten-
ton that the translation lat" should
have governed the award, the presi-
dent says:
The translation complained of is
the translation submitted by Peru in
her case, and in the opinion of the
arbitrator, fairly interprets the
meaning of the passage in question.
THE problem before the arbitra-
tor was one of substance-of con-
struction rather than translation, a
problem which had been debated by
the parties long before this arbitra-
ton gave rise to any questions of
English translation.
1T may also be said that the
award of the arbitrator is in entire
harmony with the practical con-
struction placed upon the treaty by
the parties in their dealings with
another after the expiration of the
ten year period from 1894 to 1912:
the parties repeatedly negotiated for
a plebiscite and in 1898 agreed on
the terms of a protocol providing
for a plebiscite to which was not
ratified by the Chilean congress"
The Peruvian memorial said that
it submitted it's presentations as to
the essence of the award and also
certain definite requests tending to
the best and most faithful execution
of the plebiscite,'

detailing allegations of terrorism

CHAMPION BILL
 AGAIN ID FORE
Opponents Voice Strenuous Ob'
 ectiOns Today

Washington, Jan. T.--The senate subcommittee considering the Cram ton bill to concentrate all prohibition work under one bureau in the treas ury department was called today to hear protests of users of industrial alcohol.
 The measure, passed by the house last session, has been under attack by industrial firms and the. hearings today are resumption of those be- gun shortly before the holiday re- cess. Representative Cramton, re- publican. Michigan, the author, has replied to the attacks that the meas ure is necessary for proper admins tration of the prohibition bureau.
 Enforcement of the prohibition law was declared a failure by P. Samuel Rigney of the organic sym thetic chemical association. He pro- tested against giving present prohi- 'bition officers more power, and sug- gestcd enforcement be placed under the department of justice.
 Tt is well known that more graft and corruption exists in the prohibit tion unit" he said, than in all other departments of the government com bined. Placing agents under ciVi service rules will only make 1t hard ,tA
 we want prohibition enforced We want hip flasks eliminated. We don't want to see girls at dances any more with liquor in their vanit! cases. But we don't want legitimat, indus stifled. Give the prohibi ton C aissioner power to block il legal sAic of alcohol"
 In reply to Chairman Sterling, Rig ney said he knew personally of nc cases of graft. He estimated tha about two per cent of withdrawn al cohol is now diverted in illegitimatt channels, and declared the bulk O the liquor supply came from moon sinners and importers.
 Replying to Senator Means, repub lican, Colorado. Rigney said he wa
 not personally in favor of prohibi tion, Senator Means suggested tha "it would be more proper for on beioveing In prohibition to advise u how to enforce it.

ARMY NEEDS MONEY
 FOR AIRsDEFENSE
Weeks Says Sum Allotted Is
 Not Enough

Washington, Jan. 7.--Secretory Weeks told the house committee in- yestigating the aircraft industry to- day that the money allotted to the army air service was insufficient to maintain an adequate mir force.
 Although the approximately $l6,- Uo0, ,00O recommended in the army bin for next year. he said, was the largest sum ever allotted to the serv- ice it fell far short of the amount required. He eomplimented the work of Major General PatAick in charge of the service.
 The impression in this country that other nations are doing more toward developing their air forces vas brought about MT. Weeks said' scause of the development Of com
 ercial aviation abroad.
 Asked if the race in armament had not'developed into race in air arm nment, the secretary said 1t had, but that so far 1t isn't much of a race
 The secretary recommended bulld' ing up commercial aviation even te the point of a subsidy, as the pes' means of developing an adequat' air reserve force.
 Secretary Weeks would not rec cmmend unification of the army ahl navy air services. Uni6cation migh have some advantage in time O. peace, he added. but it would hav' @ ureat disadvantages in war wner' air forces would be responsible to Iafge extent in bringing hostillue to an end. .,,
 Tbe fields of operation of the tw' services, the secretary asSrteu' should be defined, the navy penn restricted to relate to the meet W an' lits operations and the army to cove all other places.
