Arbitration between Peru and Chili; The memorial of Peru and the ruling and observations of the arbitrator: n.a., 39p, Washington, n.p., 1924. (The text are in mixed English and 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. As is evidenced by the Peruvian memorial protesting the conclusions of the award, the arbitration process was not successful in bringing the parties to agreement. Finally, 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.)
