The Minister in Costa Rica (Hornibrook) to the Secretary of State

61. Referring to my telegram No. 59, September 6, 8 p.m., copies of correspondence furnished by Foreign Office evening of September 8 show that Nicaragua and Honduras politely reject Costa Rican offer, [Page 73] former considering as still pending United States 1918 [apparent omission]29 and later feeling that owing to action of friendly governments adjustments already under way. Guatemala had made offer and would welcome collaboration but has had official notice that good offices of the United States already accepted. Salvador confident adjustment would be reached but ready to lend friendly aid in event of failure or in response to indication from Governments concerned that intervention would be welcome.
