The Minister in Nicaragua (Hanna) to the Secretary of State
[Received 5:14 p.m.]
74. Department’s telegram 54, June 19, 7 p.m. President Moncada told me this morning that in his opinion the draft protocol of agreement will be more favorably received by the Government of Honduras if prepared by the Department of State than if prepared by the Government of Nicaragua and that he will welcome the Department’s [Page 366] assistance in preparing and submitting the draft. Accordingly I have sent the following telegram to the American Legation at Tegucigalpa:
“June 25, 3 p.m. Department’s mail instruction of May 21, 1930, concerning reopening of negotiations in the Nicaraguan Honduranean boundary matter. The assistance of the Government of the United States in the elaboration of the protocol of agreement is acceptable to the Government of Nicaragua and I will submit the outline of the protocol of agreement for the consideration of this Government when you advise me that you are prepared to take similar action with the Government of Honduras.
Repeated to Department of State.”
