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

42. The Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs speaking for the Minister today requested that I inform my Government that the Bolivian [Page 318] Government would look with favor on a conference to be held in a South American capital to continue the negotiations for a peaceful settlement and that it would prefer Rio de Janeiro as the seat of the conference. A similar request was made to the Brazilian Minister here.

I am of the opinion that Bolivia would be glad to participate in such a conference if invited to do so.

Feely
