The Peruvian Ambassador (Freyre) to the Chairman of the Commission of Neutrals (White)

[Translation]
Washington, March 20, 1933.

Mr. President: With reference to the proposal of an armistice, between Bolivia and Paraguay, which I have had the honor to sign [Page 288] together with the representatives of Argentina, Brazil and Chile, I take the liberty of stating, pursuant to instructions from my Government, that the said armistice, in its opinion, should be effected, both parties maintaining their present respective positions, without their forces being obliged to withdraw.

It is, therefore, with this reservation that I have signed the proposal referred to.69

I repeat [etc.]
