The Secretary of State to the Minister in Nicaragua (Lane)

22. Your 86, March 5, 5 p.m. We continue to feel, as stated in our 19, March 2, 2 p.m., that it would be in the interest of Nicaragua itself to avoid a further postponement of the Conference. We fully approve the personal suggestions you made to Sacasa and see nothing inconsistent with our hands off policy in your continuing in a personal capacity to point out these considerations to Sacasa and his immediate advisers, if you judge that such action would still be useful. In view, however, of our policy of non-interference in matters relating to the Conference we do not feel that we can with propriety express any official views in the matter, notwithstanding our own opinion that a further postponement will be unfortunate for Nicaragua and Central America in general.
