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

16. The electoral law was passed by the Senate and sent to the Chamber this morning.

At my request the President and other Conservative leaders have been talking to leading members of the Chamber and I hope that it will be possible to obtain its passage there.

[Paraphrase.] At every step of the proceedings, however, I anticipate passive obstruction, if not open opposition, and several days may pass before final action can be obtained. [End paraphrase.]

Munro
