The Minister in Guatemala (Geissler) to the Secretary of State

107. Referring to the Legation’s telegram of August 19, 6 p.m. Morrison told Hawks last night that the Mexican Company plans to operate through Guatemala and Salvador into Nicaragua connecting there with the Pan American or going on to Panama.

I appreciate that the Department is in better position to judge the situation in all its aspects but viewed from here it still seems undesirable that a foreign company other than one incorporated in the United States operate an air transport line in Central America and even less that the Government of the United States facilitate it.
