The Minister in Nicaragua (Lane) to the Secretary of State
[Received March 6—5:05 p.m.]
86. The Minister for Foreign Affairs informed me this morning that while his first reaction to the President’s proposal for postponement was unfavorable he now considered postponement essential in [Page 445] order to afford time to reconcile, if possible, what he termed the divergent views of Guatemala and Costa Rica regarding the draft convention to be submitted to the Central American states. He said that because of apparent hostility in Costa Rica towards Nicaraguan Government he considers it essential that Nicaraguan representative should proceed to San José and have frank comprehensive talk with appropriate officials there. Repeated to Central American missions.
