The Minister in Guatemala (Geissler) to the Secretary of State
[Received 11:50 a.m.]
105. A memorandum was signed yesterday by the Foreign Minister and myself which reads in translation as follows:
“General Chacón, President of Guatemala, and Señor Carlos Salazar, Minister for Foreign Affairs, stated confidentially to Mr. Geissler, the American Minister, for the orientation of the Department of State in its negotiation with the Government of Honduras in the matter of the boundary that, in case Honduras should propose that the President of the United States or the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of that country preside over the Central American Tribunal in conformity with the proposal made by the Secretary of State, Mr. Kellogg, on June 5, 1928, Guatemala would accept.”
The above has been paraphrased.51
