The Acting Secretary of State to the Diplomatic Representatives in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Peru
Department learns that Argentina is now discussing with Bolivia and Paraguay a proposal by which Bolivia will evacuate positions occupied since June 1st on the understanding that these positions will be neutralized and will not be reoccupied by Paraguay.
The Neutrals have not been advised by Argentina of this suggestion although it was agreed in the meeting in Washington on August 10th, when the Neutrals invited the representatives of the neighboring countries to discuss the matter with them, that each group would keep the other fully advised of all it is doing and that no independent action would be taken which might make the task of the Neutrals more difficult.48
Department does not know whether this suggestion is one of Argentina alone or whether it represents the joint action of Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Peru. Please report.
