Chile Hits Meet Here
Bolivia and Chile in
Growing Friction

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 3d.
The so-called Conference for Con-
ciliation and Arbitration of the Pan
American Union," which might much
better be called the Sub Committee
of the U. s. State Department for
assisting Wall Street in Latin
America, proceeds more or less
calmly in the business of making
peace" openly and making war
secretly.
The over-trustful Paraguayans,
who demobilized upon the naive be-
lief that the United States of 1928
is the same United States it was in
1853, when the Paraguayan's coined
phrase about U. S. "iustice," now
find themselves at disadvantage
before Bolivian soldiers which are
advancing thru the Chaco region.
Kellogg Pulls Wires.
/ The Paraguayan charge d'affairs.
Juan V. Ramiriz, complained Of
Bolivia's action to the U. s. State
Department, without alleging of
course, that Kellogg was the one
really responsible for Bolivian
aggression. He made his COMPLAINT
public. But the Bolivian minister
who called on Kellogg later, observed
secrecy on what he and Kellogg
talked about; and so did Kellogg.
Bolivia's continued armed advance
in violation of its ''peace pledge,
only illustrates anew the absurdity
of. pacifist illusions that "peace
pacts" and treaties will stop i'm
perialists from making war for even
one moment.
Chile Practically Withdraws.
An important incident the signifi-
canoe of which has been concealed
by the Kellogg controlled conference
was the arrival Saturday of official
notification from the Chilea a I
government that Chile would have
nothing to do and take no part II
any Cancellation commission" set uF
by the Washington conference.
This practically constitutes the
withdrawal of Chile from the con
ference, and is indicative of
sharpening alignment of forces be
tween American and British i'm.
perialism in Latin-America.
