Reports that his country is purchas- ing large shipments of war munitions in Europe were denied yesterday by Minister Diez de Medina of Bolivia. | | Armaments arriving in his country from abroad are part of contracts let in 192§ for routine replacements of army sup- plies, he said, The Minister issued his statement fol- lowing reports circulated in diplomatic circles here that armament contracts amounting to several million dollars had been signed by Bolivia. S8uch action, it was feared, might lead to a reopening of ':he recent Bolivian-Paraguayan dis- pute. After stating that Bolivia's contracts made in 1926 for the replacement of war materials necessary for her army were public knowledge, Minister de Medina pointed out that Chile and Ar- gentina maintain permanent military | | commissions in Europe for the purchase of arms without arousing eriti- cism or alarm. He also decl‘-rn’ad that Bolivia's contracts for arms antedate il | the recent Bolivian-Paraguayan ite. dispute. Paraguay, the Minister continued, re- peatedly purchases arms in Europe. “Must Bolivia then be the only country in the world to abstain from such pur- chases?” the Minister asked. “How '.';nd\li"‘snl:;m thg;l' it necessary, exercise er and sacred of defense, which all hunam unn'nmilnv her, to | | repel -urullon’:nd defend her ter- ritorial integrity? “Bolivia is not and never will be an aggressor natlon,” the Minister added. “Its tradition of honesty and laborious~ ness as a nation is strengthened by its whole existence and its invariably pacifist policy. But Dl{ demands one condition: The respect of its integrity | || and sovereignty.” BRIDE’S BODY FOUND. i | Husband Sought—Married Less Than Week When Slain, yesterday as .
