File No. 422.11G93/978
The Minister in Ecuador ( Hartman) to the Secretary of State
[Telegram]
Quito,
September 20, 1918, 11 a.m.
I am informed that Minister of Finance will not present proposal to Congress for new issue railway bonds, but that Senators and Deputies may consider subject on their own motion.
I do not believe anything will be done by Congress on that subject and prevalent opinion no legislation affecting the railway will pass.
Hartman
