The Minister in Ecuador ( Gonzalez ) to the Secretary of State

27. Your telegram No. 19, June 14, 5 p.m. The Ecuadorian Government states that it is prepared to negotiate promptly and favorably. If I can present our list and initiate negotiations before the end of this month I believe I can obtain prompt and favorable termination. After that time the attitude of the Government will reflect developments [Page 495] in the boundary negotiations and the political situation. It would be more advantageous for the negotiations to be held in Quito.

Gonzalez
