The Acting Secretary of State to the Secretary of State36
102. Personal. The representatives of the Government of Ecuador have just been to see me to inquire whether it would not be possible for you, before you leave, to make one more effort to persuade the Peruvian Foreign Minister to reach some satisfactory understanding with the Foreign Minister of Ecuador for the adjustment of the boundary controversy along the lines which have been discussed with Dr. Concha37 by Dr. Mello Franco.38 I shall appreciate it, if it is possible for you to do so before you sail, if you will telegraph me what the situation may be with regard to the boundary controversy conversations so that I may be in a position to inform the representatives of Ecuador in Washington.
