The Secretary of State to the Minister in Paraguay (Wheeler)
42. Your 112, September 12, 7 p.m.63 Chilean representative on September 12 read telegram from Chilean Foreign Office regarding selling of arms and sending of pilots to Bolivia. He was distinctly told that this Government has not and will not sell any arms whatsoever to Bolivia or Paraguay and that this Government is not informed of sales which may have been made by private individuals or companies. He was told, however, as was the Argentine Ambassador some time ago, that if Chile held up the transit of war material across its territory which had come from the United States this Government would not make any protest.
