The Minister in Colombia (Whitehouse) to the Secretary of State
[Received 8:55 p.m.]
26. Minister of Foreign Affairs told British Minister this morning that Peruvian Government now realizes that the treaty or frontier revision should not be mixed up with the present settlement and is making no effort to do so. However, he added that the Colombian Government harbored misgivings that wires were being pulled at Geneva to influence the League to confuse the issue of proposed settlement with the lapse of the League mandate in Leticia. British Minister is telegraphing his Government to urge that it do what it can to prevent this.
