The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Brazil (Gibson)
164. Your 310, November 7, 3 p.m. The Argentine Ambassador called this morning to inform the Department, by instruction of Saavedra Lamas, that the latter had instructed the Argentine Ministers in La Paz and Asunción a few days ago to sound out the Bolivian and Paraguayan Governments in order to ascertain whether they would be favorable to renewed peace proposals. In each case, the reply was stated to have been favorable. Saavedra Lamas stated that what he had in mind was a renewal of the mediation negotiations along the lines previously agreed upon in the event that the League efforts proved unsuccessful.
