File No. 422.11G93/949
The Minister in Ecuador ( Hartman) to the Secretary of State
[Telegram]
Quito,
March 21, 1918, 11 a.m.
Department’s March 19, 6 p.m. Fully answered in my March 14, 4 p.m., except as to the effect of publication upon public feeling which has been exceedingly prejudicial. Newspaper comment bitter.
I am astonished that the Minister for Foreign Affairs expressed regrets through Ecuadoran Minister and not through this Legation.
Hartman
