PEACE GROUP
Bolivia to Cont
In Pan-American
Conference

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-tR-
The Bolivian minister advised Sec
rotary Kellogg today that his coun-
try would continue to participate in
the Pan-American conference or ar
bitration and Cancellation 0 in
session here.
Those hopeful Of averting an arm
ed clash between Paraguay and Be-
livia took heart at the news above.
However, the Bolivian minister,
Diaz de Medina. said he had not
received instructions that the dele
cation was to return. The Bolivian
minister to Peru had been quoted in
a Lima dispatch as saying that the
Bolivian foreign minister had IN
formed him that the delegation was
to again attend conference sessions
and that Minister Medina had beer
notified.
Bolivia's representatives withdrew
from the conference early yesterday
it being one of a number Of events
that we're considered as ominous
for peace. Previously Bolivia in a
note to the state department had
said she did not consider that ne
gotiations toward Cancellation should
begin until moral reparation had
been made for what he considered an
insult.
The spark in the present quarrel
between the two countries was a
clash on the frontier between Para
guayan and Bolivian troops last week
but the powder mine already laid was
a long standing dispute over a tract
