The Minister in Nicaragua (Eberhardt) to the Secretary of State
[Received 10:50 p.m.]
123. Following from Stimson:
“Your 83 received since my telegram 122,64 which will make clear the impossibility of taking a position as you suggest. Supervision of 1928 elections has been throughout my negotiations, as my despatches must have clearly revealed, the chief constructive proposition about which I have been able to rally the support of all elements and by reason of which Moncada and Sacasa delegates, although they have not formally agreed to settlement, are trying to persuade their followers to a peaceful submission and general peace. To now repudiate that offer would in my opinion be unthinkable and a moral if not a technical breach of faith on the part’ of the United States. Stimson.”
