26. Your 69, October 2, 7 p.m. For your personal information. The Department believes that the wisest policy to be pursued for the time being with regard to the mediation negotiations is to await developments in Geneva and to make no further representations either to Bolivia or to Paraguay until this Government can ascertain the course which the League Commission will pursue.
