AFRICA ROW MAY Go
BACK TO COOLIDGE
Arbitration by President
Seen as Only Way to Settle
Dispute With Chile.
Bv The Associated Press.


AFRICA. Chile. December 1.-The
possibility that the Tacna-Arica plebis-
citary commissions deadlock will
nave to be referred TO President Cool
idge as the arbitrator was seen today
as a result of the Chileans Austen
zion from the commissions work.
The ChiIeans again stayed away
from Yesterdays meeting, sending a
communication in which they said
they must refuse to participate in
any activities not directly connected
with the piebiscite to determine
whether Chile or Peru shall have
sovereignty over the disputed terri
tory.
Their absence caused lack of a quo
rum, and should they continue to re-
main away. observers believe that
only President Coolidge as the ar
bitrator will be able to solve the dead
lock.

minister in the new BRAND cabinet, as
essential to the restoration of

The levy on capital will be used to
finance a sinking fund and to extin-
guish short-term debts. NJ. Loucheur
will have none of a moratorium or
forced conversion of bonds which ma
ture December s. He will, however.
be forced to borrow some 5000 ,000, 900

during the fierce struggle over fiscal
measures, again are to the fore
A strictly balanced budget and a

May Refuse to Go On.

1t would not be surprising if the
announcement should be made soon
that Chile Is refusing to proceed with
the plebiscite. While Americans in
Chile are not hesitating to Tefute the
absurd charges they are rcfraining
to discuss the merits of the con
troversy, realiZin the futility of at.
tempting to convince South Ameri-
cans that there are two sides TO the
question.
Ii is felt in some quarters that Ed
wards attack will be a boomerang,
and it is believed to be decidedly an
undiplomatic procedure below the dig
nifty of the Chilean people to adopt
such a course. While recognizing the
rights of Chile 10 differ over pro
cedures, Americans hold that ii would
be the dignified course for Edwards
to file his objections, making them a
part of the records of the plebiscite,
and carry on as arbitra tor, thus main
tanning the juridical procedure which
Chile claims Pershing is not pursu-
ing.
May Be Too Idealistic.
Some Americans in Chile feel pos.
sihly. that Pershing holds too idealistic
views of the type of plebiscite that is
possible in South America, especially
in this instance. Feelings which
previously We're at fever heat 1ow are
higher. However, confidence is ex-
