The Ambassador in Argentina ( Weddell ) to the Secretary of State
[Received 6:48 p.m.]
109. Supplementing my No. 107, July 28, 6 p.m. The Minister for Foreign Affairs told me today that he had just given messages for the President of Paraguay to the Paraguayan Minister in Brazil who is leaving here tomorrow for Asunción.
He is obviously anxious to accomplish something definite before the League Council meeting in September next. He remarked that it would be difficult for Argentina to disassociate itself from League [Page 163] peace activities once the Council had met. I gather that he is now inclined to think an endeavor should be made to get Paraguay and Bolivia to agree on an arbitral compromise (if conciliation should prove ineffective) within a 1–month period rather than the 3 months specified in paragraph 7 of his conciliation formula.
