The Minister in the Dominican Republic (Schoenfeld) to the Secretary of State

Santo Domingo, February 7, 1933—8 p.m.
[Received 10:33 p.m.]

4. Department’s telegram No. 3, February 7, 6 p.m.12 Minister of Foreign Affairs states he has made no further representations to Peru since his telegram of January 30 but that he will telegraph to Lima tomorrow specifically referring to Peru’s obligations under the Kellogg Pact. The Minister says Dominican Government so far as he recalls without referring to his files never received request from Colombian Government to make representations to Peruvian Government based on Kellogg Pact. He surmises this may have been [Page 466] due to confusion at Bogotá when Colombian Government made request to other signatories of that treaty. Dominican Government’s representations to Peru thus far have been made at the instance of Brazilian Government as previously reported.

  1. It read: “Your telegram No. 3, February 4, noon. Have further representations been made based specifically on Kellogg Pact? This is important.” (721.23/1005½)↩
