The Secretary of State to the Minister in Guatemala (Geissler)
49. Your 67, July 21, noon. You may reply to the Minister of Nicaragua and informally advise President Orellana that the Department feels the present administration in Honduras is doing all that it can to establish and maintain peace, and that if it receives the friendly support and cooperation which it has a right to expect from neighboring governments, no other joint action on their part would appear necessary or advisable, and the Government of Honduras will probably be able to dominate the situation.
The Department is of the opinion that the need today is not for further international conferences, but for a strict compliance by all the Central American republics with their existing treaty obligations, so that attempts to launch revolutions in Honduras from adjacent territory may be unavailing.
Repeated to other Central American missions.
