The Secretary of State to the Minister in Honduras ( Erwin )50

Washington , June 1, 1938—11 a.m.

12. Please seek an audience with the Minister for Foreign Affairs and tell him informally that consideration is being given to the desirability of postponing the resumption of the conferences at San José which had been scheduled for June 9 in view of the fact that the studies which are being made of the briefs submitted by the delegates of Nicaragua and Honduras to the Boundary Commission have not been completed. It is assumed that notification of postponement will be received by the Honduran Government directly from the Commission. In your conversation with the Foreign Minister you should add that this information is transmitted to the Government of Honduras solely for the convenience of its delegates to the San José conference.

  1. The same, mutatis mutandis, on the same date, to the Chargé in Nicaragua as telegram No. 40.↩
