Washington, December 29, 1917, 6 p.m.
Your December 24, 3 p.m. and December 27, 2 p.m. Department does not understand the absolutely conflicting statements of above telegrams. Information conveyed by your December 24, 3 p.m. was transmitted to the Guatemalan Government and the Department at the same time recommended that in view of Honduras’ acceptance of this plan the United States would be pleased could this mutual withdrawal be consummated by January 1, 1918.
Awaiting a further and more complete report upon what the final decision of Honduran Government may be, as well as how this discrepancy arose; Department will take no further steps in the matter.
