822.01/146d: Circular telegram
The Acting Secretary of State to the Diplomatic Representatives in the American Republics Except Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, and Ecuador
Department understands that certain countries, including Brazil and Colombia, are desirous of recognizing the new government of Ecuador at the earliest possible moment. This Government likewise wishes to extend recognition as promptly as possible after it is ascertained that all countries are in agreement (as seems most probable) that pro-Axis inspiration is not a factor.
Please endeavor to obtain immediately the opinion of the government to which you are accredited and inform the Department thereof by urgent telegram today, if possible. Otherwise, telephone, if facilities permit, to the Department on June 5.
