The Ambassador in Honduras (Erwin) to the Secretary of State
[Received 9:58 p.m.]
335. My telegram 333 of November 1, 7 p.m. The Government of Honduras is agreeable to the recognition of the new Guatemalan regime immediately after the elections of November 3 and 5, provided the regime agrees to comply with all obligations contained in the treaties, conventions and other agreements. Among these is the general treaty of peace and friendship signed in Washington on February [Page 1150] 7, 1923, and still in effect as between Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. The Government of Honduras in agreeing to the recognition trusts that Guatemala will comply fully and specifically with the terms of that treaty, so that the neutrality of Honduras shall be respected and its territory not violated under any conditions. Please see article 14 of treaty.
Above in memorandum from Foreign Minister this afternoon.
Repeated to Guatemala.
