The Chargé in Peru (Sterling) to the Secretary of State

Lima, December 27, 1921—6 p.m.
[Received December 28—12:10 a.m.]

91. Third Chilean note has been received here offering to appoint a commission to meet with a Peruvian commission in Washington to discuss their differences and adopt bases for arbitration. The Peruvian Government is pleased with its tone but considers it too ague in its terms. The reply will definitely invite Chile to make a joint request to the United States to arrange an arbitration on the entire question.
