The Secretary of State to the Minister in Paraguay (Wheeler)
Washington, December 3, 1932—11 a.m.
54. Department’s 53, December 2, 6 p.m. Of course the agreement will provide that it in no wise affects the juridical status of either party. The division of the territory into zones for police purposes is therefore merely a device to aid and promote peace and will in no wise affect the claims of either party to the territory which will be unimpaired by this agreement and which will be settled of course by the arbitration.
