The Secretary of State to the Minister in Guatemala (Whitehouse)
[Paraphrase]
Washington, December 29, 1930—4
p.m.
80. Your 128, December 28, 8 p.m. Department concurs in your four recommendations to General Orellana and it attaches imperative importance to the second point. The Department believes that it would vitiate the new provisional Government were any of the persons concerned with the military movement of December 16 carried over into it. If such further action seems necessary, you may inform General Orellana of the attitude of the Government of the United States in that respect.
