817.00/8293: Telegram
The Minister in Nicaragua ( Lane ) to the Secretary of State
[Received 11:50 p.m.]
90. My 89, September 28, 6 p.m. This morning I informed President substance of talk with Somoza yesterday and showed him first paragraph of Department’s telegram No. 52, September 27, 6 p.m. which I said was in reply to reports transmitted by me regarding unrest here and possibly of other Central American countries becoming involved.
The President said that while he is entirely in agreement with the Department’s views he is not provoking any conflict and he hopes the Department’s telegram does not imply that there is any such action on his part. I said I understood telegram to be a general expression of our desire for peace. He said that at this moment there is no movement to disturb the peace and promised to advise me should anything arise.
