The Ambassador in Peru (Moore) to the Secretary of State

[Paraphrase]

85. My telegram 84, April 27, noon. Below is a translation of President Leguia’s draft of that part of the proposed agreement which refers to President Hoover:26

“Memorandum which the Governments of Peru and Chile agree to submit to the President of the United States:

His Excellency, Mr. Herbert C. Hoover, The President of the United States, impressed by the cordial progress which the negotiations between the two Governments of Chile and Peru have followed in relation to the direct agreements which they have reached on almost all points in order to end the Tacna-Arica problem, and in the knowledge also of the resolution of both to submit to him the single difficulty which has arisen on account of differing opinions regarding the proposed port at Las Yaradas, summarizing at the same time all that has been accomplished, proposes the following stipulations as the definitive bases of solution.”

The remaining clauses are the same as you received from Santiago27 except that clause 8 has now been eliminated by President Leguia.
