President Harding to the Secretary of State

My Dear Mr. Secretary: I have your letter of this morning relating to the advisability and desirability of this government calling a conference in Washington of Central American powers. Since it is evident that such action on the part of this government will be agreeable to the powers concerned, and since it is very clear that such a conference will be helpful in the establishment of more stable relations among the Central American states I am very glad to approve of the invitation submitted, and hope you will proceed at once in issuing it.

Very truly yours,

Warren G. Harding
