The Secretary of State to the Minister in Panama ( Price )1
Repeat to Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Honduras.
For your own information and in order to place you in a position to answer any inquiries which may be made of you by the Government to which you are accredited in regard to its representation at the Peace Conference, but not for formal communication to Foreign Office, the Department sends you the following:
The Government of the United States, according to the information which it has at hand, understands that the date for the Peace Conference has not yet been definitely set, and it does not believe that the preliminary conferences which are to take place in France in the near future, will require the presence of representatives from all the interested governments.
Should it be found necessary to require the presence of representatives from all the belligerent governments, the United States Government will take great pleasure in transmitting such information to its representatives in those countries which have declared war against Germany.
- The same telegram, except for the first paragraph, was sent on the same date to the Minister in Cuba with instructions to repeat to the Legation in Haiti.↩
