The Ambassador in Peru (Moore) to the Secretary of State
[Received 5:41 a.m.]
79. Your 46, April 23, 6 p.m. Peru and Chile were unable to agree on a port at Yaradas, and they came to an impasse. President Leguia then stated that he would be willing to accept a compromise (as outlined in my 75, April 16, 7 p.m., paragraph 3 of my quotation from President Leguia) if that compromise was suggested by President Hoover.
In answer to second paragraph of your 46, April 23, 6 p.m., number (1), it is President Leguia’s idea that the President of the United States shall make the suggestion to both countries in detail, giving them the exact wording of the agreement reached between them.
I am sorry that my telegrams were confusing. I will see President Leguia immediately after Ambassador Figueroa has had his conference, and I will keep you informed.
