The Special Representative of the President (Corrigan) to the Secretary of State
[Received 10:23 p.m.]
59. Detailed replies of both delegations to the Commission’s notes of February 26 were received this afternoon. The Honduran reply made no suggestion for a settlement other than execution on the laudo47 and does not consent to a new discussion regarding “territorial rights already defined”. The Nicaraguan reply suggests that the Mediation Commission acquire the character and be invested with the facilities of a tribunal competent to render a final decision, although it expresses a willingness to examine any other suggestion made by the Commission.
A profusion of supplementary documents and [maps?] accompanied both expositions. These will entail considerable study. The Commission will reconvene tomorrow.
