The Minister in Bolivia (Feely) to the Secretary of State
[Received July 25—11 a.m.]
62. Referring to my telegram No. 61, July 15, 11 a.m. [p.m.?], the Bolivian Government yesterday instructed its delegation to request that the League give a mandate to the ABCP countries to organize a commission of investigation and to make proposals for an arbitral compromis to the belligerents. The Bolivian Government is informed that the Paraguayan delegation has received identic instructions, and is hopeful that in view of the impasse in Geneva the [Page 347] League will accede to the request. The preliminary negotiations resulting in this action took place in Rio de Janeiro under the auspices of the Brazilian Government.
