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

Washington, May 8, 1936—2 p.m.

66. Your telegrams 116 and 117, May 7.⁶⁵ While this Government of course shares with every other Government the hope that the peace of Nicaragua will not be disturbed, it cannot itself make or authorize you to make any statement however informal with reference to the internal political situation, or in any other manner endeavor to influence events in Nicaragua. The responsibility for the solution of Nicaragua’s internal problems rests on the Nicaraguans themselves.
