The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Argentina (Weddell)
153. For Gibson. The Bolivian Minister informed me this morning that the reply of Bolivia had been transmitted to the Conference at Buenos Aires and that Dr. Elío had been instructed to give you orally the views of the Bolivian Government with regard to its reply.
The Minister of Paraguay was informed by cable from his government 2 days ago that the Paraguayan reply, while in the form of a rejection of the proposal offered, nevertheless left the way open for a continuation of the negotiations on the basis of the proposal made by the conference.
Please cable summaries of the texts of the two replies as soon as they are made available to you.
