He  felt,  furthermore,  that  where  in  Clause  "C"  of
the  Supplementary  Act  the  two  Governments  agree  to
"  enter  into  a  discussion  of  the  situation  created  by
the  decision  of  the  arbitrator, ' '  it  might  be  assumed
that  the  situation  thus  "created"  is  an  entirely  new
one  and  that  the  declaratory  words  are  intended  to
overcome  such  a  presumption.  He  deemed  it  neces-
sary therefore,  in  order  to  avoid  subsequent  contro-
versies to  include  a  declaratory  statement  that  would
remove  all  doubt  from  the  situation  and  that  his
Government  regarded  such  a  declaratory  statement  as
indispensable.
Dr.  Porras  then  stated  that,  in  his  opinion,  the  in-
troduction of  the  declaratory  words  proposed  by  the
Chilean  Delegation  would  mean  a  transformation  of
the  formula  proposed  by  Secretary  Hughes  into  some-
thing that  was  not  intended  at  the  time  that  it  was
proposed  and  when  it  was  accepted  by  the  Peruvian
Government.  Dr.  Porras  emphasized  the  fact  that
he  regarded  the  declaration  proposed  by  the  Chilean
Delegation  as  unnecessary,  because  such  declarations
are  superfluous  where  there  is  no  change  in  the  person
or  entity  in  occupation  or  possession.  Furthermore,
he  regarded  such  declaration  as  derogatory  to  Peru
and  likely  to  wound  national  sensibilities.
To  this  observation  Sr.  Aldunate  made  a  brief  re-
ply, stating  that  there  was  no  thought  in  proposing
these  additional  words  to  change  the  formula  proposed
by  Secretary  Hughes,  but  simply  to  clarify  the  situ-
ation so  as  to  avoid  subsequent  controversies.
