41. Department’s telegram No. 34, September 4, 3 p.m.8 The Paraguayan reply stated that the form of solution proposed is unusual and that it would not be suitable to include the points suggested in the proposal in a routine note acknowledging the appointment of a Chilean Chargé d’Affaires in Asunción. The telegram to the Paraguayan Legation in Buenos Aires then concludes with the following observations:
- (1)
- The Paraguayan Government is disposed to adjust its relations with Chile;
- (2)
- Normal relations should be reestablished by the designation of a Chilean diplomatic representative;
- (3)
- The question of Chilean neutrality will be discussed through diplomatic channels;
- (4)
- The Government of Paraguay considers that the question of press attacks has been answered and that no repetition of its statements is necessary;
- (5)
- Because of its traditional friendship with Chile the Paraguayan Government will not object to the efforts of Chile toward peace in the Chaco. The Paraguayan Government does not think it decorous for either country under the present circumstances if Paraguay makes statements of greater significance. The Paraguayan Government is confident that time and good will will terminate an incident which neither country wants continued.
No information has been received subsequent to the telegram outlined above.
