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

[Translation]

185. In reply to today’s [yesterday’s?] cablegram from the Commission of Neutrals I have the honor to state that my Government is disposed to give order for suspension of fire in the Boquerón sector for tomorrow, September 24, at 12 o’clock, provided Paraguay gives the same order for the same hour and place and that we are [Page 95] notified of her acceptance by 21 o’clock today. My Government is making this last effort for peace as it believes that if this opportunity is lost, it will be impossible for it to check the course of events.

Julio A. Gutiérrez
