The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Nicaragua (Stewart)

Washington, October 12, 1943—6:30 p.m.

A–582. Embassy’s despatch No. 1536, September 23. The limitations on the operations of the Honduran and Nicaraguan organizations and contractors of Rubber Development Corporation, as outlined in the despatch, meet with the Department’s full approval. The Washington office of the Corporation has also expressed to the Department its approval.

The solution is of course to be considered as a scheme of procurement operations only, and not as an indication of any opinion on or recognition of border claims by any Government.

Sent to Managua and to Tegucigalpa.
