After reciting constant alleged acts of hostility toward Ulster, the manifesto says: “Are we to stand With folded arms and make no attemp to defend our in- terests? The south is determined to ruin your trade. Show it you can also play that game, Refuse to buy southern goods, as the south refuses to buy yours.” OBSTACLES AT OHILEAN- PERUVIAN CONFERENCE ‘Washington, May 1 The - Cailean-Peruvian ~ conference which begun its course here only 4 hours ago amid universal declarations of opti- mism, encountered signs of unpleasant salling today soon after the two delega- tions came together for their first exec- utive meeting. Most prominent among thase, devalop: ments was a decision understood to have been reached by the Chileans to bring the bitterly .debated question of the valldity of the treaty of Ancon, to a sharp issue at the very outset of the negotiations. Another disturbing element was a re- iterated pléa by Bolivia that her ri; and interests as well as ose of and Peru must be considered in any sef- tlement designed to remove causes for unrest in South America. % A third much discussed reature of the situation generally interpreted interpre: ted in diplomatic circles as an evidence of the unusual caution with which Peru and Chile are proceeding was an -agree- ment between the two delegations that Whenever a decision is reached a1 any single Issue It is to be embodied hnme- diately jn a formal ‘protocol” duly cer- tified and signed by both sides. The Chilean plan, it is understood by The Assoclated Press is to present. eith- er tomorrow or on Thursday, a propoeal | that the question of fulfilling the Tacna- Arfca. article of the Ancon treaty be de- bated at once. Bolivia's interest is In a comprehen- sive readjustment of the settlement fol- lowing the war of the Pacific, to which she ‘was a party. The Bolivian govern- ‘ment sought unsuccessfully to be admit- ted as a member of the Washington con ference on the ground that suc was di rectly affectde. Today's first executive sesslon of the Chilean and Peruvian® delegations lasted but & half hour and ended withoat efther side having mentloned any of the, major | issues before the conference. In addl- tion to deiding on th “protocol” plan of reording decisions, the delegates decided to alternate the chairmanship of the con- ference between Carlos Aldunate of th Chilean _delegation and Meliton Porras' of the Peruvian delegation and agreed that an official joint communique be ls- sued after each day's session. —(By the A.
