Dr. Pinilla lays out the Bolivian point of view on a potential treaty with Brazil pertaining to the Acre territory. There is concern over some provisions of a new commercial and territorial treaty that Brazil supports. Brazilian interests in the Acre Territory threaten Bolivia in some ways. There is the possibility of a private police force that has Brazilians worried, but Pinilla tried to make the Brazilians comfortable that any force would be under the control of the Bolivian government. He promises the protection of any Brazilian citizens already living in the area under question. Pinilla points out that Bolivia has never attempted to take a foot of foreign territory and that there has already been a joint survey as to the border between Javary and Madeira.
