Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President Transmitted to Congress December 6, 1910

The Secretary of State to Minister Sherrill.

[Telegram.]

Department of State,
Washington, June 1, 1910.

For immediate communication to the Government to which you are accredited and for repetition to Petropolis for corresponding action.

I shall to-day hand the following aide-mémoire to the representatives of Ecuador and Peru, and shall instruct our representatives at Quito and Lima to make strong representations in the same sense to the two Governments, since the time is too short for consultation and since, in any case, I feel sure that this faithfully represents the views held also by the Governments of the Argentine Republic and of Brazil, which have doubtless taken similar steps.³

Knox.
