The Secretary of State to the Minister in Bolivia (Kaufman)
34. The International Conference of American States on Conciliation and Arbitration will hold a plenary session tomorrow morning at 11 o’clock to receive the report of the Special Committee appointed by the Conference to consider the situation which has developed between Bolivia and Paraguay. I understand that this report will recommend [Page 691] to the Conference that the Conference tender its good offices to the Governments of Bolivia and Paraguay for the purpose of aiding them in providing such conciliatory measures as may be found appropriate to the end that conflict may be avoided and peace maintained. Please go at once to the President of the Republic and give him the above information and tell him that I earnestly urge that nothing shall be done to make abortive the tender of good offices by the Conference which I hope will be found welcome.
