The Minister in Bolivia ( Feely ) to the Secretary of State

5. The Chilean proposal consisting of the points quoted in the Department’s telegram January 10, 7 [1] p.m., was received last night by the Bolivian Minister for Foreign Affairs and will be discussed at a Cabinet meeting today and at a meeting of the advisers tomorrow so that no reply may be expected before Thursday.

I gather from informal conversations with the President and the Minister for Foreign Affairs today that acceptance is not likely.

Argentina continues telegraphic conversations as to the proposal referred to in my telegram January 9, 5 [p.m.?] first paragraph.
