The Ambassador in Argentina (Weddell) to the Secretary of State
[Received 11:25 a.m.]
230. From Braden. My 228, October 19, 11 p.m. Stefanich reply poorly drafted but acceptable. Finot reply satisfactory. Yesterday Conference again stressed to Paraguayan delegation urgency for their prompt appointments to reglementation commission, which they state will be made this week unless there is some unlooked for obstacle raised in Asunción.
I request authority to appoint Major Weeks to this commission. This will probably entail extension of his stay in Chaco beyond November 15 when his tour as military observer ends. [Braden.]
