The Consul at Geneva (Gilbert) to the Secretary of State

393. 1. Secretary-General has received a telegram from the Paraguayan Government under date of December 18 submitting in detail objections to the essential provisions of the recommendations of the Assembly for the settlement of the Chaco conflict. This reply is considered as tantamount to a rejection.

2. A reply from Brazil to the invitation to participate in the bodies envisaged in the Assembly’s recommendations is substantially the same as that of the United States except that the Brazilian member of the Neutral Supervisory Commission will be provided with full powers.

I shall not telegraph texts unless instructed.

Gilbert
