The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Honduras ( Spencer )

53. Your October 1, 4 p.m.

Department favors conference between the President of Honduras and the President of Nicaragua in the belief that such conference might prove useful in bringing about an agreement between the two Governments upon measures to prevent further revolutionary invasions. The Department, however, believes that the use of an American war vessel for transportation of President Chamorro is unwise. Cable Department whether conference could not be arranged at some point upon the boundary near the Pacific coast.
