The Minister in Nicaragua (Lane) to the Secretary of State
[Received 6 p.m.]
84. Department’s 19, March 2, 2 p.m. The President told me this morning that Nicaragua is vitally interested in the forthcoming Conference and will lend every possible aid. He said that he is giving serious consideration to the delegates whom he will send but that the present political situation here had to be taken into serious consideration in choosing the delegates. He said that it would be of interest to him to know whom the delegates of the other countries are. I am sending the following telegram to other Central American missions:
“President Sacasa told me this morning that he had not yet determined whom he will appoint as delegate to Central American Conference. He indicated confidentially however that his cousin, Crisanto Sacasa, would be one of the delegates. Unsettled situation resulting from the killing of Sandino has undoubtedly been one reason for lack of definitive policy on the part of Government with respect to participation [Page 443] in the Conference. It would be very helpful if you would telegraph me names of delegates to be sent by the Government to which you are accredited. Repeated to Department and Central American missions.”
