the American capitalist interests in
z BOLIVIA. But Kellogg and the inner
clique at the conference thot it bet
ter to recognize the conflict and
make use of the conference. A reso-
luton was unanimously adopted
expressing the desire of the inter
American conference on Cancellation
and arbitration that the republics of
Bolivia and Paraguay arrange their
difference practically and in spirit
OF justice"
The resolution, introduced by DR..
Victor Maurtus of Peru, provided
also for formation of a committee
charged with the duty of advising
the conference with respect to con-
ciliatory action which it might rem
der in cooperating with the instru-
mentaities now employed in the
friendly solution of the problem
The government of Peru is one of
those most completely controlled by
American capital in South America,
and it was in the capital of Peru
that President-elect Hoover, on his
present trip got the biggest manu-
featured greeting, and according to
common report put over a loan of
some millions of dollars.
Secretary kellogg himself ap-
pointed the committee, and saw to
it that it was packed, four to one,
with American hirelings against
those friendly to British Imperialism.
Chairman Kellogg announced that
the committee set up under the terms
of this resolution would consist of
Chairman Victor Maurtua of Peru;
Cuban Ambassador DR.. Orestes Fer
rara; Chilean delegate Manuel Fos-
ter; Brazilian Ambassador, Do
Amaral; and Charles Evans Hughes,
of the United States delegation.
The charge of Paraguay, Juan
Ramirez and Bolivian Minister Diaz
De Medina, Kellogg announced have
been invited to join the committee /

they receive instructions from their |
respective governments. Paraguay
Immediately cabled for DR.. E.Ayala, /

The Argentine Course.
A statement was tonight given in
formally to the press by members of |
the committee on Bolivia and Para
quay to the effect that "the work |
Of the committee is understood to
be seriously complicated and rem
dered extremely delicate, due to the
fact that commissions of the two
governments are now in Buenos
Aires working on settlement"
The nineteen Latin American
countries drawn into American i'm I
perialism's Pan-American Confer
ence for Cancellation and Arbitra-
ton do not include the Argentine
Republic. Argentina is the strong
est and most independent of all
South American countries, and has
a well-developed capitalist system
of its own. 1t leans rather to Eu-
ropean, especially Spanish and Eng
lish leadership than to the United
States, though lately the Big Four
packers of Chicago have been taking
over the bulk of Argentina's chief
frozen meat.
The Argentine government has
invited representatives of Bolivia
and Paraguay to meet in Buenos
Aires to negotiate a peace. thus
making itself in a way a rival of
the conference in Washington, and
creating what the committee just
by Secretary of State
Kellogg calls "a delicate situation"
The Bolivian government, it was
learned tonight, has appealed the
case to the League of Nations.
