The Ambassador in Argentina (Bliss) to the Secretary of State
[Received 5:19 p.m.]
11. Minister for Foreign Affairs told me this afternoon that as a result of telephone talk with Chilean Minister for Foreign Affairs the two Ministers are to meet at Mendoza on the 31st and that he hoped and expected they would reach full agreement as to future action regarding Chaco question and new commercial treaty. He told me the telephone conversations had been very cordial.
I have been informed confidentially that Chilean Minister for Foreign Affairs, failing to receive an answer to a telegram sent Argentine Minister for Foreign Affairs on January 10 explaining his submission of a formula to end Chaco dispute, decided to request telephone conversation to avoid possible embarrassing situation.
I am also informed that Carlos Sos [sic], a Paraguayan confidential emissary, is now in Buenos Aires.
