PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL
BY SPECIAL MESSENGER
October 2, 1945
Brigadier General Harry Hawkins Vaughan
Military Aide to the President
The White House
Washington, D. C.
Dear General Vaughan:
As of possible interest to the President and you I am
pleased to transmit a copy of a document which appears to contain
secret diplomatic instructions which the Foreign Office of the
Ecuadoran Government at Quito has prepared for the new Ecuadoran
Ambassador to Argentina, Dr. Francisco Illescas Barreiro.
The general tenor of the document is quite flattering
to the Argentine Government and this trend is consistent with
the apparent attitude of former Ecuadoran Foreign Minister Camilo
Ponce Enriquez. This document also contains several statements
derogatory to the United States.
Paragraph Three concludes that the Ecuadoran Minister
should "lead to a promising Ecuadoran-Argentine collaboration.
Paragraph Twelve is of interest since a statement is
contained that Peru has violated a pledge to Argentina "in order to
assume a position of absolute submission to the United States in
return for the boundary treaty with Ecuador.
Included in the twenty-seventh paragraph is the statement
"throughout the history of Pan-American relations, Argentina has
presumably constituted the Latin American bulwark against the
imperialism of the United States of America."
With expressions of my highest esteem,
Sincerely yours,
