The Chargé in Ecuador (Gade) to the Secretary of State

Quito, February 2, 1938—noon.
[Received 4:40 p.m.]

14. Department’s telegram No. 7, February 1, 7 p.m. Rivas, the South American Development Company’s local agent, this morning interviewed General Enriquez who declared that he could not grant a formal extension but would give an informal extension until February 5, noon, until which time he promised that no action will be taken by the Government. I am therefore making no representations pending further instructions.
