The Secretary of State to the Minister in Honduras (Morales)
54. Your December 14, 11 a.m.15
Department does not deem it advisable to make another public pronouncement about the situation in Honduras, but it has no objection to your conveying informally to Carias and his principal supporters a statement that this Government wishes all concerned to know that its attitude regarding the recognition of revolutionary governments remains as stated in its telegram of June 30, and that it would find it especially difficult to recognize a government controlled by any faction which resorted to revolution without even waiting for the electoral procedure provided by the constitution to be carried out.
