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

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.
