The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Brazil (Morgan)
25. Brazilian Government apparently does not realize urgency of situation. If it is going to take action in this matter it should not delay. [Page 470] Following telegram from Bogotá shows difficulty of situation there. (Here quote No. 29, February 9, 9 p.m. from Bogotá).
The suggestion referred to in Caffery’s No. 25 of February 4, 3 p.m. is as follows: “Peru would turn over Leticia at once to Brazil; conference would start at once Rio de Janeiro and no matter what result of conference Brazil would deliver Leticia to Colombia at expiration of 60 days.”
