		Once Chile had secured the signature of Bolivia in the Peace and Friendship Treaty of 1904, it directed its efforts to the conclusion of the problem of Tacna and Arica, which was the only matter pending in the peace treaty signed with Peru in Ancon in 1883.
		During this period, American diplomatic acceptance of Chile's higher status shows that for the United States, the semiperipheral role of Chile was clearly undisputed, while Bolivia's lower position in the periphery did not warrant further attention.

		In a statement yesterday, the undersecretary of the interior, Jorge Correa, called the verdict “a triumph the government would prefer not to have.” He said that the trials had contributed to pacifying Chile’s southern provinces, troubled for years by land conflicts between Mapuche communities and forestry companies and private landowners.

	Chile
		Over the last two decades, Chile has been facing a serious dilemma: whether to wait until the rural population has completely drifted away from the land, which in the long term would force landowners to raise their technical levels, or whether to bring about planned reform of the agrarian structure.
		This is especially true in the province of Cautín in Southern Chile, where the estimated 173,604 Mapuche Indians living on 1,978 reducciones represent 84 per cent of the rural population.
		Politically, Cautín is one of Chile’s more traditional provinces, where in the 1970 elections Allende finished a poor third with about 23 per cent of the vote, while his conservative rival, ex-President Jorge Alessandri, led with 43 per cent, his largest plurality among all of Chile’s provinces.

	Where do you want to go birding in Chile today?
		Trip Report: Chile - November 7 to December 5.
		Chile was a destination which Sara and I had fancied for many years — the combination of good birding with lots of Chilean and Patagonian endemics, and a modern infrastructure combined with superb scenery added up to a total experience which seemed hard to beat.
		With a focus on the natural history of a slice of the Andes from Arica through the 4 altiplano wilderness areas of northern Chile, Birding Alto Andino is located in Chile near the Peruvian border, in the Aymaran pueblo of Putre about 135 km east of Arica by road.
