Chileans Claim They Accepted
Good Offices of the Unite.l
States Only on Condition
that the Plebiscite Activi-
:. ties, Should Not BE Dis
turbed.

africa, Chile, March 27~R)--
Although Chile and Peru have agreed
for the time being to forego the hold
ing Of "a plebiscite on the question
of a settlement of the historic ques-
tion as to the sovereignty of the
provinces of Tacna and africa pending
an attempt by the United States to
mediate the controversy, complica-
lations have arisen between the
Chileans and American plebiscite Of.
ficials.
This is due to claim by the Chi
leans that they accepted the good
offices Of the United States only on
condition that the plebiscite activi-
ties should not be disturbed during
the negotiations. The Americans are
demanding "A complete suspension of
activities during the interim.
Yesterdays announcement that "a
direct settlement Of the question at
issue between Chile and Peru would
be substituted for the plcbiscitc, at
least for the time being, was received
with hostility by many Chileans, and
fear was expressed in many quarters
that the sudden reversal Of the pro-
ccdure might culminate in serious
rioting and attacks upon Peruvians,
especially in Tacna.
Precautions Taken
The Chileans took precautions
against disturbances and expressed
the intention Of landing men from
war ships in the event Of untoward
scenes.
Registration for the plcbiscitc was
to have begun today.
The Chileans ordered their regis
tration board to report for duty to-
day. The American. and Peruvian
delegations declined to announce
what their policies likely would be.

representatives Of high caiibrc who
are sincere In their desire to voSe as
their constituencies want them.'
The wet organization would pay
the costs Of the polls. which would
include every registered voter in the
district concerned, and the cooperat-
ing member Of congress would have
the right to name the ballot count
crs.
"Thcrc arc many members Of the
house Of representatives" Mr.. Stay
ton said, "who arc personally op-
posed to the Volstead act. They vote
dry on all prohibition questions be-
cause they believe their constituents
want them to vote dry. We believe
many OF them arc misguided in this
matter and are anxious to help them
ascertain the true sentiment of their
voters"
