The Commission to Negotiate Peace to the Acting Secretary of State

2190. For Polk.

Your 1911, May 19th [9th], 2 p.m., submitted to the President who after consideration of its contents states that his instinct is the same as yours and that it would be best not to make any active suggestion as to submission outside [of?] Tacna-Arica dispute by Chile and Peru to League until League of Nations is adopted along with treaty. He also feels that it would be advisable to await the initiative of Chile in the matter. Lansing.
