The Bolivian Minister has informed the Department of the receipt of a telegram from his Government which states that his Government has information which indicates that “perhaps” the present disturbance in Paraguay is connected with the Chaco matter, for instance to prevent Paraguay’s proceeding with the territorial discussions.

Please report your views by telegram.
