The Chargé in Costa Rica ( Johnson) to the Secretary of State
[Telegram]
San José,
March 15, 1918, 10 a.m.
Joaquin Tinoco has requested me to ask if there is any objection to his going early in April to France via the United States. He says that if there is no objection, he is going to join French Army at the front through the medium of Costa Rican Minister at Paris. Doubt sincerity of his intention to leave, but if he goes, retirement of Tinoco will be easier of accomplishment.
Johnson
