The Secretary of State to the Minister in Bolivia (Cottrell)

10. Your May 24th, noon.

You will inform the Government of Bolivia that the question of Bolivia’s participation in the discussions which are now being carried on between Chile and Peru, and which relate to questions arising out of a treaty of which these two countries were the only signatories, is a matter for the exclusive consideration of the two countries [Page 469] concerned, and the Government of the United States regrets that it feels unable to take any initiative in this matter.
