The Honorable
Sir:
Robert McGregor Scotten, American Ambaaeador,
~uito.
December 18, 1944 •
Reference ie made to the Embaesy 1 s despatch no. 2323 of November 7, 1944 transmitting the text of a communication addressed to you by the Ecuadoran Ministry for Foreign Affairs regarding certain difficulties encountered by the Ecuadoran Government in its efforts to extend protection to certain persons in German-held territory who are in poesession of documentation reflecting a right of protection by the Ecuadoran Government.
The Department and the War Refugee Board have noted with some concern that the Ecuadoran and Swiss Governments have eo far been unable to find a satisfactory formula whereby to extend adequate protection to the persons referred to. It il hoped that efforts to this end will continue until a eucoeseful outcome is assured. For your confidential information there ie attached a copy of a secret telegram to the American Legation at Bern in which the War Refugee Board requested its representative at that poet to discuss the problem with the appropriate Swiss offioiale,
It appears that the Ecuadoran Governmen~·hae not taken into account the dan~er to which undoubted Ecuadoran nationals are exposed if the German authorities are given any grounds for believing that the Ecuadoran Government will not resist German &fforte to determine tor German purposes which passports issued in the name of the Ecuadoran and other foreign governments are to be accorded recognition. Of interest in this connection, there is attached for the information of the Embassy a copy of instruction no. 3606 August 30, 1944 to the Embassy at Lima,, the eubstap.ce of which may be conveyed to the Ecuadoran authoritiee. Since the date of this instruction the Department has learned or additional oases· .in which the German Government in its mietaken effort to distinguish between bearers of United States passports has apparently done away with undoubted United States nationals. ·
It is the reeling of the Department and of the War Refugee Board that at a time when the lives ot undoubted Ecuadoran nationals and ot other human beings who may happen to be in possession of Ecuadoran passports are greatly in danger, an unyielding interpretation of the strictest meaning Of legal terms may not be what the Ecuadoran Government after due consideration will wish to establish as its policy. In these ·

circumstances and in this light the Ecuadoran authorities should be urged to consider the possibility of instructing the Protecting Power to renew the validity of all passports issued in the name of Ecuador which are· held in enemy territory by prospective victims of enemy persecution and to accord all such individuale_protection.
Furthermore, when bearers of Ecuadoran passports are released by the Allied forces, 1t is the War Refugee Board's opinion which the Department shares that the individuals concerned should.be carefully examined by an appropriate delegate of the Ecuadoran Government and that the act of invalidation of passports found to be illegally held should be accomplished with the least possible publicity and at the latest date possible in order 'that no such action may Jeopardize the safety of holders of similar documeptation who remain under enemy control. In this connection there is attached for the Embassy's information and for communication of the substance thereof to the appropriate Ecuadoran authorities a copy of telegram no. 10936 from the American Embassy at London of December 9, 1944.
Very truly yours,
For the Secretary of State&

Refer to your A-.205 of April l2 and to Department's circu.Lar airgrams of llarch 31, la0,5 p.m., or April 10, llaOO a.m, and of ,.._,....,._..,....__,,...., __ ,, !he Department hu now been· apprised that Papal Nunoio at Bem Wormed llinister Harriacn that Vatican had attempted to work out relief aeaaurea fOI' Jewa holding Haitian dooumenta and interned by Ger~. Apparently, the.quaation of eventu&l immigration as reeult of poeaible exchange was railed in addition to tha question of recognition of doauments, Haiti is reporhd to have repllllll that it could take no (repeat no) action, praljUJQably because it wa1 not (rapaat")''ot) praparedtopel'llit persons in question ao~ to enter Hdti.
At the time tiiis reply is reportecl to haYe bftn gi'fan to Vatican, the assurance contained in our circular uirgraa of AFll 10 had evidently not (repeat not) yet reached Haitian, goyemment,
Please verify information received frocu Bnrn and reiterate this Government'e a.saurance that, in the event of e:~tohange, Haiti will not (repeat not) be expected to grant physiCal , acllldellion to any of the persona concerned even,on a temporary or tentative balie,
In tho light of these auurano .. , plea .. impress upon the Haitian govorlllltent the extreme urgency of acquiescing in our requeets and of acting upon th11111 without delay. Vlhile appNc1at1ve ot the eympathetic coneideratlon prQideed to you by Foreign lliniater according to your A-20.51 thb QoyernMnt believes that only proJUpt apeoitlo action alona the llne1 tugeated in our circular ab'sraJIIB can aav_. t!te people oonoernsct, You ahould therefore lmproaa upon Huitlan.otr1e1ale that einoe failure to act would almost certainly spell death for the peraona involved, and that llinoe no (repeat no) reaponaibllitiu or obllptions woulcl reault for Haiti from aoq~ieiJoenae ln OUI' raqutata, we would .be aoral)' cliaappointe<l it Haitian -.&thol'it.loa would not (repeat not) whole-heartaclly cooperate with our offorta to ATI those people.
