Memorandum of the Acting Secretary of State

Chilean Ambassador brought in Minister Edwards, Chilean Minister to London:

Discussed the Chilean-Peruvian matter. I impressed on them the necessity of having the matter disposed of. Told them I feared if they did not do it, it would be done at the Peace Conference. It was very evident Edwards wants to force a settlement, but would prefer to have England one of the arbitrators.
