Minister Combs to the Secretary of State.
Lima, December 29, 1910.
Argentine and Brazilian colleagues and I presented the proposal of mediators, which minister for foreign affairs of Peru will submit to President of Peru and council of state. President of Peru and minister for foreign affairs of Peru personally assure me submission to The Hague entirely acceptable. Minister for foreign affairs of Peru declares that statement quoted by Mr. Fox in December 27, to effect minister for foreign affairs of Ecuador stated that Peruvian minister at Quito had desired direct arrangement was through a misunderstanding, as Peruvian foreign office had never entertained that view.
Repeated Quito.
