The Minister in Nicaragua ( Hanna ) to the Secretary of State
[Received 6:50 p.m.]
83. Department’s 62, July 8, 6 p.m.89 I expect to receive soon this Government’s reply concerning the draft protocol. The Minister for [Page 368] Foreign Affairs has just told me that his Government probably will propose the addition of a provision to the effect that the Government of Honduras will guarantee property rights legally acquired by Nicaraguans and others under Nicaraguan law in territory heretofore considered as Nicaraguan but which the Boundary Commission may decide to be Honduranean territory, and that the Government of Nicaragua will give a similar guarantee under similar conditions. He said that this would be the only material change in the draft protocol that his Government will suggest.
Repeated to Tegucigalpa.
