Brazil and Bolivia are attempting to work out a treaty dealing with business concessions in the Acre Territory. Magalhaes, representing Brazil, is concerned that business interests will be given too much sovereignty and police powers. He argues that a section of the treaty that allows the commercial syndicate given the lease of the land under consideration will be able to set up their own defense force with boats to police the river. He wonders who this force would be accountable to. This group would, in effect, have more control than the Bolivian government.
