The Minister in the Dominican Republic (Schoenfeld) to the Secretary of State
[Received 6:12 p.m.]
3. Department’s telegram No. 2, February 3, 5 p.m.89 Minister for Foreign Affairs informs me that the Dominican Government did not expressly allude to Kellogg Pact in its telegram to the Peruvian Government but that in supporting the Brazilian proposal it urged settlement of Leticia controversy only by pacific means. Minister for Foreign Affairs states he has received reply from Peruvian Minister for Foreign Affairs indicating acceptance of Brazilian proposal but apparently with modifications. Dominican Minister for Foreign [Page 452] Affairs states that express reference to Kellogg Pact will be made in eventual further communication to Peruvian Government but such reference seems to have been overlooked in the telegram of January 30 sent to the Peruvian Government at the instance of Brazilian Government.
- It read: “Your 2, February 2, noon. Has Government made representations to Peru on basis of Kellogg Pact as requested by Colombia? I consider this important.” (721.23/958)↩
