The Ambassador in Argentina (Weddell) to the Secretary of State
[Received 8:55 p.m.]
124. At the request of the Minister for Foreign Affairs I again met with him and the Brazilian Ambassador at the Brazilian Embassy today. The Paraguayan Minister was present. The latter said that his personal reactions to the Argentine formula for Chaco peace were favorable but that of course he would like to consult his Government and would later enter into contact with us.
At our specific request the Minister of Foreign Affairs later informed the Brazilian Ambassador and myself privately that he had the certainty of Paraguay’s acceptance of his formula.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs showed me a letter just received from the Bolivian Minister saying he was instructed by his Government to seek an immediate interview with Doctor Saavedra Lamas and the Brazilian and American Ambassadors at which he might set forth the exact views of his Government concerning the peace formula in order to avoid any misunderstanding. He is being invited to meet us at the Brazilian Embassy tomorrow afternoon.
