The Ambassador in Argentina (Bliss) to the Secretary of State
[Received 9 p.m.]
89. From what Minister for Foreign Affairs told me this afternoon he intends stating to the Senate on Monday that Argentina will abide by its traditional policy of nonintervention. This declaration will undoubtedly be well received in Bolivia.
Minister for Foreign Affairs intends to initiate Congressional action for Argentina entry in [League] of Nations probably next Wednesday in Chamber of Deputies. He tells me both houses favor this and that he expects favorable action before adjournment end of September.
There is apparently no likelihood at present of declaration of neutrality or boycott by neighboring countries, the conversations carried on recently in Santiago having failed, it is intimated to me, because of Brazilian objections.
