Memorandum of Conversation, by the Assistant Chief of the Division of Caribbean and Central American Affairs (Newbegin)
The principal purpose for the Honduran Ambassador’s93 call on Mr. Braden was to deliver a note94 with regard to the Blue Book on Argentina. The Ambassador informed Mr. Braden that the Book had been read with much interest and that Honduras supported the views of the United States. He continued that in this regard as in all other important matters of foreign policy the United States could count on Honduran backing. The note which he presented to Mr. Braden stated that in the opinion of the Honduran Government, the present Argentine military regime or any other Argentine Government controlled by the same groups did not deserve the faith and confidence essential for the signing of a treaty of mutual military assistance among the American Republics. Mr. Braden expressed his appreciation of the Ambassador’s courtesy in this respect.
