MELBY Peru/Ecuador Desk Off cer Wash ngton, DC (1941-194,- John F. Melby was born in Portland, Oregon, July 1, 1913. He did his graduate work at the University o Chicago in International Relations. He took the Foreign Service Exam in 1937. He was a member o the first class o the Foreign Service. He served overseas in Mexico City, Caracas, Moscow, and China. In 1953, he was dismissed from the Foreign Service because o an a air he had with Lillian Hellman, an alleged communist. He taught at the University o Pennsylvania and then at the University o ,uelph. He retired in 197.. He died in Ontario on December 1., 1990. He was interviewed by Charles Stuart Kennedy in 19.9. MEL,E: And after that 2 was married by this time my wife came back to El Paso -- she was an El Paso girl -- for the birth of our second child. So 2 followed a little later. When 2 got to Washington 2 wanted an assignment in the Department and 2 conned my way into being assigned to the American Republics Division. 2 was put on the Peru-Ecuador desk. And 2 was there on that desk for two years. D: 2hat was our interest in Peru and Ecuador3 This was when3 MEL,E: This was July 1941. And 2 was there two years. The interest was not planned believe me but 2 still remember -- my wife had not joined me in Washington at this point 2 still had an apartment there before she came -- 2Gd been out to dinner with some friends on the evening of July Fourth. And when 2 got back to my apartment 2 turned on the radio. There was an announcement that Peruvian forces had invaded the Ecuadoran province of El Oro and just wiped it off the map pretty much. 8ot that there was anything there because there wasnGt not much. ,ut it was all the people there had. 2 figured the neCt morning 2Gd better get to the office early which 2 did. And when 2 walked into my office the phone was ringing and Sumner Welles was on the phone. And he said HJohn youGve heard the newsIH HEes sir.H HWell stop that warJH and he slammed the phone down. KLaughterL And thatGs what 2 did for two years was stop that war. D: 5ou6re a relatively junior o icer in the United States Department o State, and there6s a war between Ecuador and Peru. And you6re ordered to stop the war. May I ask the 9uestion: how does one go about this3 MEL,E: Well it would take all night to tell you that. 2tGs a question of getting the Peruvians to stop it. And buying off the Ecuadorans. Arranging for concessions to them. 2t was a very complicated problem actually. D: But you took this seriously -- MEL,E: Darn right. Welles wasnGt kidding. :e meant do whatever had to be done to stop the hostilities. D: And you were able to contact our embassies and try to work out -- I mean, we were playing the good neighbor in trying to stop two o our other neighbors from ripping the hell out o each other. MEL,E: And 2 worked with the Ecuadoran and Peruvian embassies in Washington. D: And you were involved in that rather famous boundary commission that came along and drew a line that kept -- MEL,E: 2 set it up. D: Because I6ve interviewed other ambassadors who always had trouble with that thing. MEL,E: Of course it turned out it went on forever. D: 5es. 2e6re talking about up into the 660s, anyway. MEL,E: When 2 was on it 2 was involved in the first one and we had the first aerial survey done of that boundary. ,ecause nobody knew where the boundary was. And 2 had to arrange with the Pentagon to get the American Air Force to go down there. The men who were involved actually ended up in the long run being good friends of mine. Paul Cullen was in command of them. And they photographed the whole boundary. The argument on the thing went on for years after that. D: I wanted to concentrate on another aspect o your career, but this is really a solid example o a time when the United States got involved in something and at least stopped the fighting. Maybe there6s no final solution to something like this, but at least you found a way to stop the fighting. MEL,E: And thereGs never been any fighting since. That one attack in 1941 was the last actual hostilities that have ever taken place. M8ote: :ostilities have broken out twice in the 1991Gs after this interview took placeN D: Every once in a while, I think Ecuadorans come up and throw stones at our embassy because o that. Other than that, I think that6s the ma7or hostility. MEL,E: See part of the settlement had to be that Peru wanted half of EcuadorGs territory the Amazonian part of it. This is what Welles had to deal with at the Rio conference in 1942 was to con the President of Ecuador into agreeing to this of giving up half of his territory. ,ecause Peru had the support of ,razil Argentina and Chile. And the blackmail that Manuel Prado Ky 5gartecheL the president of Peru was pulling on us was that if we didnGt somehow force the president of Ecuador to agree to those terms that Prado would keep Peru out of joining us in the war effort. And he would keep ,razil and Argentina out as well. So Welles just had to take the president of Ecuador aside at Rio and say HLook this is the terms. EouGve got to do it. This is your contribution to prosecution of the war against 3ermany.H And the president said HMr. Welles you know youGre asking me to commit political suicide.H Mr. Welles said H2 know. And 2Gm still asking.H The president agreed HAll right 2Gll do it.H And thatGs the way Peru got the additional part of the Ecuadoran Amazon. And they thought there was oil there which actually there was as it turned out. ,ut even Ecuador has some oil now too.

  • JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The
    JOHN FOSTER DULLES PAPERS PERSONNEL SERIES The Personnel Series, consisting of approximately 17,900 pages, is comprised of three subseries, an alphabetically arranged Chiefs of Mission Subseries, an alphabetically arranged Special Liaison Staff Subseries and a Chronological Subseries. The entire series focuses on appointments and evaluations of ambassadors and other foreign service personnel and consideration of political appointees for various posts. The series is an important source of information on the staffing of foreign service posts with African- Americans, Jews, women, and individuals representing various political constituencies. Frank assessments of the performances of many chiefs of mission are found here, especially in the Chiefs of Mission Subseries and much of the series reflects input sought and obtained by Secretary Dulles from his staff concerning the political suitability of ambassadors currently serving as well as numerous potential appointees. While the emphasis is on personalities and politics, information on U.S. relations with various foreign countries can be found in this series. The Chiefs of Mission Subseries totals approximately 1,800 pages and contains candid assessments of U.S. ambassadors to certain countries, lists of chiefs of missions and indications of which ones were to be changed, biographical data, materials re controversial individuals such as John Paton Davies, Julius Holmes, Wolf Ladejinsky, Jesse Locker, William D. Pawley, and others, memoranda regarding Leonard Hall and political patronage, procedures for selecting career and political candidates for positions, discussions of “most urgent problems” for ambassadorships in certain countries, consideration of African-American appointees, comments on certain individuals’ connections to Truman Administration, and lists of personnel in Secretary of State’s office.

  • The Atlantic Council--The Early Years
    The Atlantic Council--The Early Years by Melvin Small, Professor History Department Wayne State University Detroit, MI 48202 Prepared for NATO as a report related to a Research Fellowship 1 June 1998 On 8 April 1976, the New York Times and the Washington Post reported that James F. Sattler, a part-time consultant at the Atlantic Council, had been exposed as a secret agent of the state security apparatus of the East German government. His espionage work had been so highly regarded that the German communists had made him the youngest full colonel in their intelligence services. Yet the object of his espionage, the Atlantic Council, which since its founding in 1961 had promoted NATO and European- American cooperation through publication of books and pamphlets and the sponsorship of conferences, was a private organization whose activities never involved classified materials. Moreover, although the Washington Post noted that the Atlantic Council's board "reads like a who's who of the so-called 'Eastern foreign policy establishment,'" the Sattler expose represented the first time the Council had made headlines.1 Why would the East Germans send an agent to work at the Atlantic Council? And how could it be that although its directors included--and still include--virtually all former secretaries of state and scores of prominent diplomats and 3 industrial leaders, few Americans have ever heard of the organization? While scholars, journalists, and pamphleteers have written widely about the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Trilateral Commission and their alleged pernicious influence on American foreign policy, no one has ever studied the Atlantic Council (ACUS), despite the fact that many extremely influential Americans have belonged to all three organizations.

KAPLANPROOFS2_10.24.19 10/28/2019 1:48 PM ORIGINS OF NATO: 1948-1949 Lawrence S. Kaplan* OVERVIEW The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) originated in the trauma of World War II. The human cost of that war at last motivated Europe to remove the barriers to economic integration that had promoted warfare among the nation-states since the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648.1 The devastation of western Europe also inspired the United States as the major victor in that war to abandon its traditional isolation from European political and military affairs.2 Accelerating these fundamental changes was the awareness on both sides of the Atlantic of the threat Soviet-led Communism posed to the future of Western democracy.3 However, recognizing the necessity did not equate with effective immediate action to cope with these two challenges in the post-war world. Too many obstacles had to be overcome.
