The Ambassador in Argentina (Weddell) to the Secretary of State
[Received May 9—11:57 a.m.]
106. From Braden. Finot has been appointed Bolivian first assistant replacing Alvestegui temporarily until another appointment is made. He assured me last night of complete cooperation along the lines Conference is now pursuing.
Saturday afternoon mediators demanded that the Paraguayan delegation now submit last word on Saturday.
I am endeavoring to get invitations issued to ex-belligerent Foreign Ministers within the next few days so that their arrival may coincide with that of Chilean Minister for Foreign Affairs on May 19. Brazilian delegate tells me Brazilian Minister for Foreign Affairs also will come here if his presence is deemed desirable. [Braden.]
