The Minister in Switzerland (Wilson) to the Secretary of State

94. Drummond tells me that his latest information is to the effect that Peru has rejected the Brazilian proposals; that Brazilian mediation has come to an end and that an armed clash seems likely between Peruvian and Colombian forces on the latter’s territory. He adds that situation may momentarily become serious and cooperation of great importance. He would much appreciate any information you have tending to confirm or refute these reports.
