The Secretary of State to the Representative of the United States on the Guatemalan-Honduran Boundary Commission (Davis)
Washington, April 25,
1928—10 p.m.
6. Your 9, April 23, 7 p.m.
- 1.
- The Department desires you not to commit yourself formally to drawing a provisional line, since the Department feels that, on [Page 741] account of the Guatemalan reservations, your powers are not sufficiently clearly defined. It may be necessary to take up this matter further with the Guatemalan Government. You should not, however, give any intimation that you will not draw a provisional line, but should endeavor to leave this question in abeyance until you have had an opportunity to consult with the Department.
- 2.
- You are authorized to return to your post via Washington as soon as you desire, but in view of the approaching inauguration in Costa Rica the Department wishes you to consider the advisability of returning to your post to attend the inauguration, proceeding to Washington immediately thereafter for consultation. If you find it impossible to be in San José for the inauguration the Department will endeavor to appoint somebody else as special representative for that occasion.
- 3.
- Report what transportation is available for Malsbury and your secretary.
