18w THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, BOLIVIA CONSIDERS SEA OUTLET VITAL Protests Settlement of Tac- na-Arica Dispute—Kellogg’s Efforts Win Praise. Denial by Paraguay that she is a militaristic nation, claims and counter claims on the boundary dispute between her and Bolivia, a protest by the Bo- livian legation against the Tacna-Arica settlement in that it gives Bolivia no outlet to the sea, and high praise for former Secretary of State Kellogg by Secretary Stimson for bringing the so- lution of the Tacna-Arica controversy, featured yesterday's developments here. In discussing the settlement of the Tacna-Arica problem at his press con- ference yesterdsy, Secretary Stimson sald: “This is the solution of a 45-year-old problem which has been the only seri- ous source of discontent in South America. Mr. Kellogg's administration is entitled to very great credit for bring- ing it about. Through many vicissi- tudes he brought the matter along by the kindly exercise of good offices to & point where both countries have di- rectly settled the problem. It was through Mr. Kellogg's good work that these countries, which for many years had had no diplomatic relations, were induced to appoint, respectively, am- bassadors to the other country, and since that was done they have been able to get together in normal and easy com- munication, and this settlement has fol- lowed. Kellogg Deserves Greatest Credit. “I was in a position to observe Mr. Kellogg’s work and I know how hard and earnestly he worked to bring that about. He deserves the greatest credit. “President Hoover himself also sh: in the responsibility and the credit for bringing about the settlement by hav- ing taken stops on his visit to Peru and Chile, last December, to smooth out and settle certain difficulties which had arisen at that time.” The following statement was made by Secretary de 1a Barra of the Bolivian legation: 2 “The Tacna-Arica dispute has come to an end, according to an announce- ment made by President Hoover this afternoon. “However, the historic question of the Pacific, which includes Bolivia, Chile and Pery, is far from settled and it will not be unless the land-locked con- dition in which Bolivia has endured Old Discarded Items Are Worth Cash $5.00 Allowed for Your Old DAY BE 19.75 SIMMONS DOUBLE DAY BED 8! d " Pad with valance .. - $16.85 AUT ATIC .50 ENGLANI 'OM DE ), witl . ol S B i si3e bed .. .

Bolivia, who has lost an extensive and rica sea coast, should have hers. and not be deprived of her inalienable right of free com- munication with the ocean. trust that a spirit of justice and constructive pal mericanism will lead Bolivia's neighbors to realize that to keep Bolivia without an access to the sea will not only hinder her develop- ment and the commercial relations be- tween them, but jeopardize their inter- national friendship.” Stimson Denles Blocking Bolivia. Secretary Stimson believes there is no possible ground for criticism of the United States Government for the part it played in the settlement. The aspira- tions of Bolivia for an outlet to the coast were taken into full considera- tlon, as is indicated by the department’s note transmitting the terms of settle- ment to Chile and Peru. This note, the Secretary pointed out, purposely left the way open for any future setilement between Bolivia and Chile or Peru of the question of a seaport. He quoted from the note as follows: “The proposal is therefore not to be interpreted as indicating that either the President or the Government of the United States of America expresses any opinion or view or makes any sugges- tion in any way whatever regarding any future disposition by either party of that portion of the territory in dispute which will be in its possession should the proposal inclosed herewith be ac- cepted by the governments of Peru and Chile.” This portion of the note, the Secre- tary explained, was for the express pur- pose of making it clear that Bolivia had not the slightest right to say this Government had suggested an arrange- ment which virtually locked her out from the sea in perpetuity. Matter Is Left Open. So far as is known, there was no commitment between Chile and Peru as to some future arrangement with Bolivia. The matter was simply left open. It was indicated, however, that no reply will be made by this Govern- ment to the Bolivian note of two weeks ago, which assumed that there was something in the agreement which pre- vented any future arrangement with Bolivia. Secretary Stimson takes the attitude that this contention already has been adequately answered. Secretary Stimson believes there is no connection between the recent resignation of the Peruvian cabinet and the Tacna-Arica agreement, al- though the resignation took place on the day the Ambassadors of Chile and Peru presented their proposals for set- tlement, On the contrary, reports have indicated, he said, that there was a purely routine reason for the resigna- tion, and all official reports since re- celved have reflected wholehearted sup- port of the settlement. Instead of creating discontent in South America, the settlement con- stitutes a happy solution of a vexing 45-year-old problem, which has been the only serious source of misunder- standing in that region, Secretary Stimson believes. SPECIAL SERVICES BY D. C. CATHOLICS May Processions Planned by| Churches in Honor of Virgin.

DEBT EXPERTS FRAME REPLIES TO SCHACHT German Delegation Will Learn Allies’ Counter Proposal at Meeting Monday. By the Associated Press. PARIS, May 18—The reparations conference approached the end of its labors tonight after 14 weeks spent in debate and study over the problem of German reparations. Although the experts in general felt that the end was at hand, none of them could be sure what would be the con- clusion of so much work. The experts of the creditor nations today virtually finished their examina- tion and discussion of the conditions to which the Germans subordinate their acceptance of the settlement proposed by Owen D. Young. Monday morning the allied and the American experts will meet again to consider certain counter conditions which the creditor countries wish to present to Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, chief of the German delegation. Meanwhile, each delegation will send to the chief German delegate tonight or tomorrow observations concerning the German conditions. These are ex- pected to enlighten him as to their point of view and to give him in ad- vance an idea what would be the allied counter conditions or reservations. Meteor's Fast Trip.
