The Ambassador in Argentina (Bliss) to the Secretary of State
[Received 4:35 p.m.]
35. Informed by Brazilian Chargé d’Affaires that he is about to submit to Argentine Minister for Foreign Affairs a suggestion made by his Government and which he says has met with favorable response in both La Paz and Asunción to the effect that the drawing of the lines to which the two armies contending in the Chaco shall retire be left to a neutral military commission and that a similar civilian body decide the point as to the territory to be submitted to arbitration. A prompt cessation of hostilities is of course included in foregoing suggestion.
