By the President of the United States of America

A PROCLAMATION

Whereas, by a Proclamation of the President issued March 22, 1924, under a Joint Resolution of Congress approved by the President January 31, 1922, it was declared that there existed in Honduras conditions of domestic violence which were or might be promoted by the use of arms or munitions of war procured from the United States; and

Whereas, by the Joint Resolution above mentioned, it thereupon became unlawful to export arms or munitions of war to Honduras except under such limitations and exceptions as the President should prescribe.

Now, therefore, I, Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States of America, do hereby prescribe as such an exception and limitation, such arms and munitions as may from time to time be exported with the consent of the Secretary of State.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

[seal]cDone at the City of Washington this 15th day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and forty-eighth.

Calvin Coolidge

By the President:
Joseph C. Grew
Acting Secretary of State.
