The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Chile (Culbertson)10

[Paraphrase]
Washington, March 14, 1929—2 p.m.

28. Your 33, March 13, 4 p.m., paragraph (5). It appears to me that some time next week the Governments of Chile and Peru could make a brief memorandum setting forth that a settlement had been effected and outlining the principal points, even though certain details had to be worked out. President Hoover and I would then telegraph them, congratulating them on the settlement and expressing our gratification. I go out of office on March 26. I hope that you will work toward that end as I think such statements would have a good deal of influence with public opinion in South America.

  1. The same, mutatis mutandis, on the same date to the Ambassador in Peru as telegram No. 24.↩
