The Secretary of State to the Minister in Nicaragua (Eberhardt)
147. The Minister of Costa Rica has informed the Department that President Jimenez desires to offer his good offices as mediator between the contending parties in Nicaragua, and desires to know if the Department would see any objection to his doing so. In reply the Department has informed Señor Oreamuno that it sees no objection to President Jimenez taking this course if he desires to do so and that the Department will look with favor on any attempt made by the Costa Rican Government to bring about an agreement between the contending factions in Nicaragua and a peaceful and mutually satisfactory solution of the Nicaraguan problem.
You may informally advise President Diaz of the foregoing.
