CHACO DISPUTE NOT ENDED

Bolivia On Paraguay's League Withdrawal

Geneva, To-day.

The Bolivian Government has sent the League Secretary-General a Note indicating that the Bolivo- Paraguayan dispute concerning the Gran Chaco is not ended although the period of two years notice for withdrawal of Paraguay from the League soon expires.

The Bolivian Government hopes that considering the changes in the circumstances that led to Para- guay's notice of withdrawal, "Par- aguay will take this opportunity of giving renewed proof of the firm will to peace so eloquently express- ed by her Foreign Minister by re- maining a member of the League.”
