The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Nicaragua (Dennis)
106. Should a Congress which may be considered as the duly constituted Congress of Nicaragua elect a designado, the Department would give careful consideration to recognizing him as the Constitutional President of Nicaragua. Should Doctor Sacasa subsequently establish a government in Nicaragua, the Department could not consider him other than a revolutionist.
The Government of the United States by withholding objection to a loan by bankers to the Provisional Government has given the only support which it feels it can give to the Provisional Government. The Department does not believe its moral support can go further.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
When a constitutional government is set up which the Government of the United States can recognize, the customary support will be lent to it.
In a few days Minister Eberhardt will sail to return to Managua.34 The Department will inform you as to the date of his arrival.
