The Secretary of State to Minister Fox.

[Telegram.]

Very urgent. In view of the perfect understanding between this Government and the Argentine Government you will present the joint note with your Brazilian colleague without the slightest delay. [Page 454] The Argentine Government will undoubtedly subscribe as of the same date by a telegram from their minister for foreign affairs to the minister for foreign affairs of Ecuador or by delegating to some one full powers to sign for the Argentine Government. I am telegraphing to Buenos Aires to suggest this.

Knox.
