The Secretary of State to President Wilson
My Dear Mr. President: I enclose a memorandum21 which was handed to me this morning by the Chilean Ambassador in regard to the four articles which were submitted as a basis for a Pan American Treaty. You will observe that the second article of those we proposed is entirely omitted. That article, you will recall, deals with the endeavor to settle as soon as possible all boundary disputes by amicable agreement or by arbitration.
I will be glad to talk with you about this memorandum or, if you prefer, please give me your views in writing as to what comment it would be well to make to the Ambassador.
Faithfully yours,
