The Chargé in Costa Rica (Werlich) to the Secretary of State
[Received 4:25 p.m.]
58. Referring to Department’s telegram No. 42, December 20, 1 p.m., the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Costa Rica has just informed the Legation that the Costa Rican Government has decided not to alter for the time being its policy of non-recognition of present regime in Salvador but will continue discussion of the matter with the other Central American Governments with a view toward [Page 205] preserving harmony of action. Understand this statement made after consultation with President of the Republic. Above text telegraphed to Legation at San Salvador.
[Paraphrase.] I understand that the local government is considering the reservations of El Salvador to the Treaty of Peace and Amity of 1923 as stated in the Salvadoran Diario Oficial, No. 126, June 4, 1925. Are these reservations to be considered effective? See despatch No. 738, May 29, 1925, from the Legation in El Salvador.31 [End paraphrase.]
