The Minister in Honduras (Lay) to the Secretary of State

10. Department’s telegram No. 7, February 6, 6 p.m.4 As a result of my representations Honduran Government has today sent the following telegram to the Peruvian Government:

“The Honduran Government through me urges that of Your Excellency that it abide by the commitments subscribed to by Your Government in the Pact of Paris and the Declaration of last August 3rd and accept the mediation proposed by the Brazilian Government.

My Government would view with great pleasure the acceptance of that mediation in order to avoid thereby the imminent danger of a [Page 463] break between two sister countries. Antonio Bermúdez, Minister for Foreign Affairs.”

Delay due to the fact that the Foreign Minister took office only this morning and the Undersecretary would not take action.

Lay
  1. Asking whether Honduran Government had made representations to Peru based on the Kellogg Pact. (721.23/852a Supp.)
