The Minister in Guatemala (Geissler) to the Secretary of State
[Received July 22 (?)—9:50 a.m.]
67. The Minister of Nicaragua, General Murillo, has informed me that yesterday he suggested on behalf of President Solorzano to the President of Guatemala joint action of all Central American Republics [Page 336] for the purpose of devising prompt and effective means for the reestablishment of enduring peace in Honduras and that President Orellana expressed interest and said that in order to avoid such false interpretations as might result if the invitation be extended by a Central American Government other than that of Honduras he considered it best that through this Legation the hope be expressed to the Department of State that it will indicate to the Government of Honduras the desirability of inviting the Central American Governments for a conference on board an American cruiser or in some Central American port.
General Murillo says further that in view of the interest which the Department of State has always taken in the welfare of the peoples of Central America he doubts not that it will give benevolent reception to the thought. He requested that I inform him of the decisions of the Department.
Repeated to other Central American missions.
