Geneva, Nov. 18.
The machinery of the League of Nations is moving at top speed to settle the Gran Chaco dispute, which has now become more complicated and which threatens to embroil other South American States in a war which has been carried on for more than two years already. There are alarming reports that the Argentine is moving troops to the frontier to meet Bolivian forces which have turned towards the border following a Paraguayan victory.
The Special Committee Reporting to the Assembly on the Gran Chaco dispute suggests that a neutral supervisory committee of six be appointed to enforce the cessation of hostilities and create a neutral zone, behind which neither side is to construct fortifications and to which no further supplies of war material shall be brought.
The Committee recommends that within one month of these mènsures being carried out.
peace treaty | negotiations shall be opened at a conference between the belliger- ents. A two-month me limit shall be allowed this conference to reach a decision.
The Committee's report, which approving the action of certain member nations of the League in respect to an arms embargo against the belligerent states, suggests that if one party to the dispute accepts the Assembly's recommendations and the other. does not, then the embargo on arma may be raised in respect to the country which accepted the League's recommendations.
