The Minister in Nicaragua (Eberhardt) to the Secretary of State
[Received 9:12 p.m.]
237. I have been informed by President Diaz that he is considering asking the Honduran Government to comply with its obligations under the Central American treaties by taking action against … who is openly giving aid to Sandino. Such action would probably greatly embarrass Sandino and have a good psychological effect in Nicaragua, but we hesitate to encourage President Diaz to proceed without knowing whether such action, taken by him and on his own responsibility, would embarrass the Department elsewhere.
Repeated to the Legation in Honduras.
