[Received November 24—6:35 p.m.]
354. Avenol has handed me a communication dated today addressed to you and signed by himself as Secretary General of which the following is the text:
“Sir: I have the honor to inform you that on November 24th, 1934, the Assembly of the League of Nations adopted a report concerning the dispute between Bolivia and Paraguay as provided for under article 15, paragraph 4, of the Covenant of the League of Nations.
I beg to enclose a copy of this report.
Paragraph 12 of part 4 of the report provides for the setting up of a Neutral Supervisory Commission. The Argentine, Chile, Peru and Uruguay shall each appoint one member of the Commission. The United States of America and the United States of Brazil shall also be invited to appoint one member each. The duties and powers of the Neutral Supervisory Commission are laid down in paragraph 12 of part 4.
In accordance with the instructions of the Assembly, I have the honor to convey to you this invitation.
I need not say that the Assembly attaches great importance to the cooperation of your Government in the Neutral Supervisory Commission and earnestly hopes that it will be able to accept this invitation.
I have the honor to be, Sir, your obedient servant.”
