The Secretary of State to the Minister in Guatemala (McMillin)
54. You will informally communicate the following to the members of the Provisional Government:
“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. The United States confidently expects, therefore, that all of the Central American Governments will scrupulously comply with the principles laid down in the Treaties of 1907.”
