CHILE IS REPORTED
LINING UP POWERS
Would Press U. S. to Quit
Arbitration of Tacna-
africa Dispute.

While official confirmation was lack
ing last night of reports from Lima
that Peruvians hear Chile is forming
combination of the old A. B. e.
powers. with Colombia and Mexico
added, to press the United States to
abandon arbitration of the Tacna-
africa dispute, such development
would be entirely in line with recent
developments and would occasion lit
tie surprise here.
In the past Argentina and Brazil
have not pulled together at all
closely in connection with the Tacna-
africa dispute between Chile and
Peru. On account of geogra phical
situation Chile has been inclined to
seek 10 line up Argentina on her side
while Peru has played with Brazil.
On this account some doubt is ex-
pressed here as to the practicabiiity
OF working out such a lineup as has
been reported from the Peruvian
capital. Some observers likewise are
puzzled over the choice Of Colombia
and Mexico in this connection. but
assume as TO the former that her own
BOUNDARY dispute with Peru may ac-
count for il.
