The Commission of Neutrals to the Bolivian Minister for Foreign Affairs (Gutiérrez)

[Translation]

The Government of Paraguay advises us that it will not oppose a truce once it has obtained actual security not subject to contingencies of diplomatic negotiations but considers the massing of troops and the occupation of positions in dangerous places should not be carried out under the truce. The Commission of Neutrals also believes that all movements of troops should cease and mobilization should be suspended during the truce. Your Excellency’s agreement in this respect would facilitate the progress of negotiations and would be received with pleasure.
