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

27. Department just advised by British Embassy that British Government has instructed British Minister in Lima to make representations to Peruvian Government on basis of Kellogg Pact. British Government gave as reason for its change in attitude that it has now learned that Peruvian troops, as distinguished from Peruvian individuals, are now at Leticia.

German and Italian Ambassadors state their Ministers have been instructed to act when British and French do so. French Embassy confident its Government will take similar action and that delay is caused by change in French Government.
