The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Guatemala (Thurston)16
Department has received note from Minister of Salvador in Washington stating that Salvador had sent a circular telegram to Central [Page 848] American Governments to the effect that joint and friendly action might take place with a beneficial result to the peace of Costa Rica.
Department informed Minister that note describing this project, which seems to be in harmony with the spirit of the Washington Conventions, had been read with sympathetic interest.
The Government of Nicaragua has informed the Government of Salvador that it suggests the respective Central American states should recall their recognition of the Tinoco Government, which would seem to be a proper course.
Minister of Salvador in Washington has informed Department that he is certain the action of his Government was not taken with a view to strengthening Tinoco but rather in an endeavor to bring about constitutional order in Costa Rica.
