The Ambassador in Ecuador (Scotten) to the Secretary of State

Quito, June 1, 1944—noon.
[Received 5:47 p.m.]

544. I will send my recommendations later on today regarding the general question of recognition of the new government. However, prior to any determination I would appreciate the Department’s immediate instructions whether I should establish an informal contact either with the Minister for Foreign Affairs¹¹ or with Velasco Ibarra or whether, in case they desire to see me, I should go.

Scotten
