87. Your telegram No. 50, April 29th.
- 1.
- President Leguia and Ambassador Figueroa had a conference this morning. It is necessary to change the wording but not the substance of the agreement. They have both agreed on the wording and tomorrow, after a further conference between the President and the Chilean Ambassador, President Leguia will give me the full text of the agreement. He does not want to do it until it is absolutely settled.
- 2.
- President Leguia told me that Ambassador Figueroa had informed him that Ambassador Davila had telegraphed to his—the Chilean—Government that President Hoover had no objection to the retention of paragraph 8 or (h). President Leguia told the Chilean Ambassador that his information was different and that therefore he would insist upon the elimination of this paragraph.
- 3.
- As to paragraph two of your telegram number 50, President Leguia told me that this would be changed to read “a third as referee,—his decision to be final.” This was agreed to.
