23. My 21, January 20, 2 p.m. Léger informs me that after long negotiations here yesterday the two Governments are in agreement except for the one question of immigration—repatriation (see second paragraph my telegram under reference). Léger hopes that Trujillo will agree to his proposal in this respect and that the draft arrangement can be forwarded to Washington by tomorrow’s air mail and be submitted to the Permanent Commission early in the week. Repeated to Santo Domingo.
