The Secretary of State to the Minister in Guatemala (McMillin)

52. Your 50, December 9, 4 p.m.

Renewed uneasiness has been expressed as to the safety of certain members of the former cabinet, now held as prisoners. You will make clear informally to the Provisional Government the heavy responsibility which rests upon it for the safety and humane treatment of these prisoners.
