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

Washington, March 5, 1936—6 p.m.

28. Your telegram No. 48, March 3, 9 p.m.

Point 3. It would be very helpful if you could cite immediately by telegraph fuller references to the Nicaraguan counterpart of Section 522 of Tariff Act of 1930. The citation you gave in your telegram No. 36 of February 24, 3 p.m. seems fragmentary. For example under what authority are the periodical Nicaraguan customs decisions listing the values of foreign moneys in terms of the cordoba issued (See Vice Consul Ray’s despatch No. 17 of October 2, 193545).
