The American Delegate (Braden) to the Secretary of State
[Received January 5, 1937.]
Sir: I have the honor to refer to the Department’s instruction of December 19, 1936, inquiring regarding the renewal of diplomatic relations between Bolivia and Paraguay.
Diplomatic relations were renewed on August 21, 1936, but as reported in my telegram No. 169, August 20, 12 midnight, paragraph III, it was understood that diplomatic representatives would not be accredited for two or three months. With the differences between Paraguay and the Peace Conference regarding control and vigilance of the zone of separation between the ex-belligerent armies, the appointments making the renewal of relations effective have been delayed. Up to the present no consuls or diplomatic representatives have been appointed, though the Peace Conference is endeavoring to bring about these appointments as soon as possible.
Respectfully yours,
