11. Guachalla told me last night that in his judgment, in view of recent indeterminate Supreme Court decision, an informal request for arbitration at this time would be received in a very friendly spirit. He suggests exclusion of actual return of the property on the ground that this is desired by neither party and would arouse hostile reactions here. He also suggests that details other than general principle of arbitration be reserved for discussion after his arrival in Washington April 5.
