The Minister in Bolivia (Feely) to the Secretary of State
[Received 12:50 p.m.]
55. The Chilean Minister was yesterday instructed by his Government to request the personal opinion of his ABC colleagues here as to whether the declarations contained in the first paragraph of my telegram No. 54 of May 29, 11 p.m. could be interpreted to mean that Bolivia would consent to allow the four neighboring countries to determine the arbitral zone.
The three Ministers were of the opinion that Bolivia would not accept such a solution and the Chilean Government was so informed.
The Bolivian Government is informed that the League of Nations will press Paraguay to declare her territorial pretentions and that the League is desirous of continuing the negotiations without American intervention.
