The Chargé in Ecuador (Dawson) to the Acting Secretary of State

Quito, August 24, 1931—5 p.m.
[Received August 25—1:48 a.m.]

38. At personal request of Mrs. Ayora President and family are my guests in this Legation. Granting of temporary sanctuary is in my opinion fully justified until danger to personal safety of President has passed.
