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

Managua, April 3, 1936—11 a.m.
[Received 1:30 p.m.]

106. Minister for Foreign Affairs informed me last evening that President Sacasa is in receipt of a letter from the President of Honduras announcing his reelection to the Presidency for a period of 6 years. Dr. Arguello stated that President Sacasa desires to keep [Page 683] his reply in consonance with that which may be made by President Roosevelt and would appreciate an indication of what Mr. Roosevelt may say. I trust that, if this suggestion be agreeable to the Department, it will appropriately instruct me.
