Arbitration between Peru and Chili; The counter case of Peru in the matter of the controversy arising out of the question of the Pacific; Before the President of the United States of America, arbitrator, under the protocol and supplementary act between the Republic of Peru and the Republic of Chili, signed July 20, 1922, at Washington, D.C.; Ratified January 15, 1923: n.a., 216p, plus Appendix, 468p, Washington, n.p., 1924. (A TOC for the case and a list of exhibits contained in the appendix follows the respective title pages of each. The entire text of both the counter case and the exhibits is in English. This was a territorial dispute. After the War of the Pacific between Chile against Peru and Bolivia, 1879-83, under the Treaty of Ancón a victorious Chile acquired temporary control of the Peruvian provinces of Tacna and Arica. By terms of the treaty, after ten years the fate of the provinces was scheduled to be determined by plebiscite. The plebiscite was not held on schedule. Meanwhile Peru claimed Chili was attempting to change the facts on the ground by driving out the legitimate Peruvian inhabitants and introducing Chilean settlers. This led to a break in diplomatic relations in 1911, and a decade of diplomatic wrangling. Finally, in 1922 the two counties agreed to arbitrate the dispute, with the U.S. serving as arbitrator. President Coolidge appointed General John J. Pershing as his delegate in 1925. Pershing was succeeded in 1926 by General William Lassiter. The arbitration process was not successful in bringing the parties to agreement. Finally, in 1928 Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg induced the parties to negotiate directly. The negotiations led to the Treaty of Lima, 1929. By terms of that treaty, Chile acquired permanent sovereignty over Arica, while Peru reacquired Tacna.)
