The Chargé in Chile (Scotten) to the Secretary of State
[Received December 5—3:27 p.m.
112. In conversation with the Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs the latter informed me of the receipt of a cable from the Chilean Ambassador in Washington reporting the decision of the Department regarding the manner in which the United States will cooperate with the special Commissions of the League of Nations looking towards a settlement of the Chaco conflict. The Undersecretary indicated that the Chilean Government is highly pleased with the way in which this matter is developing and especially with the policy of the United States and Brazil. It is, of course, obvious that Chile feels that the inclusion of the United States and Brazil will prevent any final settlement from being dominated by Argentina.
