File No. 818.00/500
The Chargé in Costa Rica ( Johnson) to the Secretary of State
Executive decree published to-day grants amnesty to all Costa Rican emigrados. That it is for political reasons based on faint hope that emigrados will return is shown by the fact that Tinocos confidentially assert that they fear an invasion from Nicaragua at an early day and that money has been sent to emigrados from here via New York. Anything to precipitate solution of situation here would be preferable to a continuance of present régime of terrorism and graft. Rafael Iglesias secretly urging upon his friend Chamorro to aid emigrados as previously reported.
