The Chargé in Costa Rica ( Johnson) to the Secretary of State
[Received 6 p.m.]
Yesterday de facto President summoned ex-Presidents, President Constitutional Assembly, and Cabinet to confer on the question of break with Germany. Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of War, and the President Constitutional Assembly were in favor of immediate break without waiting for recognition, but it was finally decided that dignity of the country was inconsistent with such action. As indicated in previous telegram, it is plainly intimated that break would be made in case of recognition from us.
