Tacna-Arica Dispute Calls
Attention to Resources of
Chilean District.
Washington, D.C.—“What are Tacna
and Arlca—besides a controversyT"
The question arises because a de
rision Is pending on whether or not a
plebiscite Is to be held In Tacna—e
question that has hung Ore since the
“nitrate war" of 1883.
The National Geographic society
says:
“TacnR, at present, Is the northern
most province of elongated OhUe and
has an area about equal to that of
Massachusetts. Tacna also Is a city,
the capital of the province of Tucna,
whose 14.000 people comprise half the
population of the province.
"Arlen, the port of Tacna, once was
a thriving city of some 30,000 people.
Then it shipped out Important prod
ucts—ores, alpaca, wool, barks, and
chinchilla skins. Today It has fewer
than 5,000 residents and Is Important
principally as the salt water terminus
of the railroad that cuts across the
lower Andes from La Paz, Bolivia. An
other railway runs to Valparaiso, 987
miles to the south, not a long trip In a
country of magnificent longitudinal
distances.
“The term, Arlca, as a regional des
ignation has disappeared from the
map; the province which bore that
name has been merged with Tacna.
"Volumes have been written about
the Tacna-Arica controversy—a con
troversy that had Its historic origin
exactly 100 years ago when the Repub
lic of Bolivia was born.
“A glance at a map will show the
geography of the dispute. Tacna Is
Bolivia's closed corridor to the sea and
It Is the Alsace-Lorraine of Chile and
Peru.
Rlee in Lonely Grandeur.
Tacna Is mountainous, but that easy
description gives a false picture. The
Andes do not project a series of ranges
Into the province, but extend a pla
teaullke cordillera, with aolltary peaks
rising here and there In majestic
grandenr. Once their crests were vol
canic caldrons, now In their old age
they wear their graceful caps of snow.
‘These older mountains contribute
wisdom, as well as dignity, to the
scattered children of the valleys. In
the Irrigated districts of Tacna sunset
Is the time fixed for transferring the
water from one section to another. But
In a valley, below the sharp rise of
the Inclosing hills, the Instant of sun
set may occur earlier at the western
end of the valley,
“After the sun has set In the low
lands It continues for some time to
light up the snow-clad mountain
peaks. Therefore the ancient agricul
turists agreed that sunset occurred
when the sun ceased to Illuminate the
snow-crowned mountains. And, to this
day, the farmer folk of Tacna look to
their monuntalns for the benign good
night signal.
"The Sama river Is the northern
boundary of Tacna and the Sama val
ley yields grapes which have made the
name of Moquega, the bordering Peru
vian province, famous among connois
seurs ; and helped swell the world's
raisin output to the point where the
distributors began to Inquire whether
you had your iron today.
"And now that science has traced
goitre to the absence of the tiny regu
latory quantities of iodine your system
needs, certain American cities call
upon the Chilean littoral for Iodine,
dump It in their municipal reservoirs,
and perform another modem miracle
of preventive medicine.
“Nitrate of soda Is virtually a Chile
monopoly and many of the tiny plants
occur In Tarapaca, along Tacna’s
southern border. Whether the world
uses swords or plowshares. Chile’s
nitrates have a ready market—they
enrich the aoll and they help make ex
plosives.
“Iodine Is a by-product of extracting
nitrates from the caliche rock. The
nitrate establishments limit their pro
duction to every sixth year so the
market may not be overstocked.
Provides Druq Store Supplies.
“Tacna yields sulphur and borax.
There, also. Is grown the coca plant,
source of cocaine, which thousands
who have had the toothache call
blessed. This plant has peculiar leaves.
The upper surface, deep green, smooth
and velvety. Is unlike the under side,
which la light green with a band of
paler color on each side of the mid
rib.
“Tacna and Its northsm and south
ern neighbors not only comprise one
of nature’s greatest wholesale drug
warehouses, but It was from Machu
Plcchu, the ancient city of the Incas to
the north, In Peru, that the world's
greatest grocery staple, the potato,
originated. This seat of a marvelous
agricultural system was explored by
a National Geographic society expe
dition led by Hiram Bingham, now
United States senator from Connectl
