The Acting Secretary of State to the Minister in Nicaragua ( Hanna )
81. Legation’s 100, August 9, 3 p.m. The Department’s views were stated to Dr. Carazo by telephone to New York practically verbatim as set forth in the second paragraph of its telegraphic instruction No. 80, August 8, 5 p.m.
The Department of course is unable to say in what manner Dr. Carazo will report this statement to President Moncada. He was, [Page 675] however, informed that the views conveyed to him had been telegraphed to you. You may, therefore, if you deem it necessary, take such steps as appear desirable to prevent President Moncada from misunderstanding the Department’s attitude.
