Ambassador Dillon called upon me today at 3:00 Pell.
to pay his farewell respects. After an expression of
regret on my part that Ambassador Dillon was leaving,
there followed a brief conversation including a discussion
of the disastrous Bouadoran earthquake of August 5, 1949
and of that country's progress toward reconstruotion of
the devastated areas.
At the conclusion of the visit I expressed the hope
that the Government of Ecuador would shortly ratify the
Rio Treaty. Ambassador Dillon replied that he expected
that the Treaty would be presented to the Ecuadoran
Congress at its next session beginning August 10 and
that he hoped that it would be ratified. He remarked
that Equador is among the five Amorioan states that have
not yet ratified the Treaty.
Dean G. Acheson
