[Telegram]
Washington,
February 8, 1917, 4 p.m.
Your February 5, 6 p.m. I am pleased with the sympathetic attitude of Honduras and the other Central American governments, but the Government of the United States is not in a position to guarantee protection in case of aggression resulting from the proposed action.
