The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Nicaragua ( Goold )
43. You will inform the Government of Nicaragua that the following has been communicated to the Governments of Honduras and Salvador:
“The United States would view with the greatest concern any attempt by one Central American country to interfere in the internal affairs of another, either by invasion or by assisting any one political party. Any Government which made such an attempt would incur the heaviest responsibility for embroiling Central America in a war which would discredit Central America in the eyes of the civilized world. This Government feels that no lasting federal union could be imposed by force. It confidently expects, therefore, that the Government of Honduras, (Salvador), in its relations with its neighbors, during the present emergency, will [scrupulously] comply with the principles laid down by the Treaties of 1907.”50
