SUBJECT: Argentina Hosts Lugo and Morales for Signing of Final Act 
of 1938 Peace Treaty 
 
REF:  BUENOS AIRES 0498 
 
1. (SBU) Summary:  Argentina hosted Paraguayan President Lugo and 
Bolivian President Morales for an April 27 ceremony to deliver the 
Final Record of the border commission in execution of the 1938 Peace 
Treaty between the two countries.  The Ambassador attended as 
representative of one of the six guarantor nations.  He and the 
other five guarantor representatives received copies of the Final 
Record (pouched to L/T) and signed a brief statement (see text in 
para 9) applauding Bolivia and Paraguay for their efforts. 
President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner (CFK) used the warm and 
friendly occasion to lob a few zingers at an American historical 
figure's role in the war but afterward, privately with the 
Ambassador, she praised President Obama's participation at the 
Summit of the Americas (SOA) and said it had set a new tone for 
hemispheric relations.  End summary. 
 
2. (SBU) Argentina hosted Paraguayan President Fernando Lugo and 
Bolivian President Evo Morales for an April 27 ceremony to deliver 
the Final Record of the border commission in execution of the 1938 
Peace Treaty between the two countries.  The Ambassador attended as 
representative of one of the six guarantor nations (Argentina, 
Brazil, Chile, the United States, Peru, and Uruguay).  He and the 
other five guarantor representatives received copies of the Final 
Record (pouched to L/T) and signed a brief statement (see text in 
para 9) applauding Bolivia and Paraguay for their efforts. 
 
Parties and Guarantors Note Historic Occasion 
--------------------------------------------- 
 
3. (SBU) Bolivian FM Choquehuanca thanked the border commission for 
its work, noting that borders can be used for integrating rather 
than keeping people apart.  He made a cryptic remark lamenting that 
the 1932-35 war had been fought "at the behest of foreign 
interests." 
 
4. (SBU) Paraguayan FM Hamed noted that the two countries had 
inherited an unpopulated, undefined border.  He praised the work of 
the commission in defining and delimiting borders in remote, 
difficult terrain. 
 
5. (SBU) Chilean FM Mariano Fernandez, speaking on behalf of the 
guarantors, praised the peace process as evidence of "our capacity 
to resolve disagreements peacefully." 
 
Long memory on Braden, Praise for President Obama 
--------------------------------------------- ---- 
 
6. (SBU) President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner (CFK) used the 
warm and friendly occasion to lob a few zingers at the United 
States.  She said the Chaco War had a "smell of petroleum" ("olor a 
petroleo"), and she claimed that American businessman Spruille 
Braden as an agent of Standard Oil had played a nefarious role in 
provoking the war.  (Note:  Braden has long been a bogeyman for the 
Peronists.  When he served as U.S. Ambassador to Argentina in 1945, 
Peron accused Braden of organizing the opposition and campaigned on 
the slogan of "Braden or Peron.")  CFK went on to criticize the 
"Washington Consensus" for asserting that "the market can solve 
everything" and promoting excessive privatizations.  She praised 
state regulation of the markets and said a strong state presence is 
the best guarantee for more justice and social equity. 
 
7. (SBU) After her remarks, on her way out of the ceremony, CFK 
spoke briefly and privately with the Ambassador (reftel).  She was 
very upbeat on the Summit of the Americas, saying it set a new tone 
for hemispheric relations, and she praised President Obama's 
approach to the region. 
 
Press coverage 
-------------- 
 
8. (SBU) In an Embassy statement released April 27, the day of the 
signing ceremony, the Ambassador said, "The United States is proud 
to have supported the process that led to the signing of a peace 
treaty between Paraguay and Bolivia, and we congratulate Argentina 
on the constructive leadership role it played in resolving a serious 
conflict.  This serves as a vivid reminder that collective 
diplomatic action applied in a timely way can also prevent this type 
of conflict."  The Ambassador reiterated this message to television, 
radio, and print reporters while exiting the ceremony, noting he was 
there with representatives of Brazil, Chile, Peru and Uruguay to 
applaud the efforts of Bolivia and Paraguay to carry out the duties 
established in the 1938 Treaty of Peace, Friendship and Borders.

integration agenda that manifests itself in several areas of 
bilateral and regional cooperation, resulting in mutual benefits for 
the economic and social development of both peoples.

Protocol to the Treaty of Peace, Friendship, and Boundaries that 
will establish a Bilateral Committee for the Demarcation of

established, the Governments of the Pluri-National State of Bolivia 
and the Republic of Paraguay may turn to the Government of the 
Argentine Republic to attend to any enquiry or requirement related 
to duties determined in Article 5 of the Treaty of Peace, 
Friendship, and Boundaries between the Republics of Bolivia and
