Arbitration between Peru and Chili; The 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., 254p, plus Appendix, 819p, plus two maps, Washington, n.p., 1923. (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 the Peruvian case is in English.
Some of the exhibits in the appendix are in Spanish. 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.)
