The Ambassador in Argentina (Weddell) to the Secretary of State

214. From Dawson.

1. My 197, September 5, 3 p.m. Zubizarreta has informally advised members of mediatory group that his Government prefers not to make any suggestions as to a boundary line although he would be [Page 144] glad to consider any proposal the neutrals might make. In other words Paraguay is apparently not prepared to modify on its own initiative the position taken earlier in the Conference that it must have the entire Chaco.

Repeated to Rio de Janeiro. [Dawson.]
