The Secretary of State to the Minister in Nicaragua (Lane)
19. Your 81, March 1, 6 p.m. It seems to us that the present situation in Nicaragua should enhance Nicaragua’s interest in the Conference. If preparations for the Conference on Nicaragua’s part can be hastened and public attention directed thereto, this might well serve to exercise a quieting effect on public opinion. Nicaragua took the initiative in arranging for the Conference and issued the invitations to it, and unless she goes ahead in an appropriate way with her preparations there will obviously be little chance of holding a successful Conference. If you see no objection you may express this as your own view to President Sacasa.
