[Received December 12—3:42 p.m.]
50. Confidential for the President from Hull. The President of Uruguay and a few heads of delegations of other Governments have a program to promote peace in Chaco which includes telegrams from a few heads of Governments including yourself addressed direct to the President of the Seventh International Conference of American States expressing the fervent and devout hope that efforts being made by the Conference, both individually and collectively, and efforts being made by League of Nations, by the President of Uruguay and those cooperating with him and by all other agencies to bring about a cessation of the war between Bolivia and Paraguay may speedily result in overwhelming success.
[Page 373]The plan is to read these telegrams at a plenary session of Committee No. 1 tomorrow Wednesday afternoon. I hope, therefore, that you can send suitable telegram or authorize me to deliver such to the President of the Conference.
