The Minister in Bolivia (Feely) to the Secretary of State
[Received 9:30 p.m.]
71. The Bolivian Government today31 accepted in principle the ABCP proposal of August 25 on the assumption, however, that the Brazilian suggestion of September 2 and the Bolivian reply thereto of September 6 having to do with a limited zone of arbitration would be incorporated in the proposal. The Brazilian suggestion of September 2d proposed a maximum zone bounded by parallel 20 meridian 62 and the two rivers. The Bolivian reply of September 6th proposed meridian 61 and a line 50 kilometers south of parallel 20 as the maximum.
There is little hope in official circles here of a successful result.
