The Chargé in Nicaragua (Munro) to the Secretary of State

Managua, September 16, 1927—5 p.m.
[Received September 17—11:43 a.m.]

247. My September 15, 2 p.m. This afternoon the President sent the Minister for Foreign Affairs to discuss the appellate court question with me. Dr. Cuadra said that it would be better in his opinion to recognize the reorganized court at Leon, especially as any other action might give rise to agitation among the people of that city. He said however that the Government would like to have the Department recommend a course of action as the President would otherwise be strongly criticised by the Conservatives in Congress.
