8. At the same time President Leguia informed me that he could not agree to any solution unless the suggestion was made by President Hoover to the Governments of Peru and Chile. (I transmitted this information to Secretary Kellogg in telegram No. 27, March 5, 8 p.m. and although Secretary Kellogg said he thought he could get President Hoover to agree to it,20 no direct answer has been received. I have referred to it several times since as being an absolute essential to any settlement of the problem. Would it be possible to obtain a definite answer?)
