The Minister in Paraguay (Kreeck) to the Secretary of State

Asunción, December 30, 1928—7 p.m.
[Received December 31—2:34 a.m.]

45. Your telegram No. 218 received December 30, 6 p.m. Paraguayan Minister for Foreign Affairs telegraphed its representative December 29, 3 p.m. to sign protocol. Delay arises from consideration of the meager provisions for the investigation they being limited to incidents other than the real cause of conflict thus permitting aggressions and molestations to continue as formerly thereby causing no real benefit to Paraguay by such investigation.

I am convinced this view is well established and that permanent peace will not be found until the cause has been removed which can only be done by the Conference.

Kreeck
