The Minister in Bolivia ( Des Fortes ) to the Acting Secretary of State
[Received 8:35 p.m.]
6. Bolivian Minister for Foreign Affairs desires that a confidential report be made by me that Bolivia would welcome participation by Brazil (probably in order to counterbalance Argentina) in the negotiations at Buenos Aires.
The above suggestion is claimed to have originated [with?] the Bolivian Sub Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, but it was, however, previously discussed by him with the Brazilian Minister.
The Foreign Minister again emphasized the point that arbitration should be League Commission’s main preoccupation; all other questions secondary.
Repeated to Secretary of State, Buenos Aires, Asunción.
