The Bolivian Minister for Foreign Affairs (Gutiérrez) to the Chairman of the Commission of Neutrals (White)
[Received September 18, 1932—1:05 p.m.]
166. I have the honor to reply to the cabled note of yesterday from the representatives of the neutral countries. My Government, consistently with its previous declarations and particularly with the terms of its note of the 16th, accepted the immediate cessation of hostilities, conformity with it having first been obtained from the adversary. As to the guarantees of non-aggression, my Government believes that, the agreement to the cessation of hostilities having first been made, such agreement will be loyally carried out. It believes that a civil commission of neutrals would function with greater advantages of all kinds in guaranteeing non-aggression and in establishing, if the case should arise, the violation of the agreement. With respect to non-mobilization in the Chaco, it considers it should be agreed upon on the basis of equality of conditions on the terrain for both parties.
