The Minister in Honduras (Lay) to the Secretary of State

Tegucigalpa, January 24, 1934—10 a.m.
[Received 2:20 p.m.]

4. President Carías has just informed me that he has agreed with President Ubico to recognize January 25 in manner outlined in Lawton’s telegram No. 7 [8?] of January 22, 1 p.m.32

I understand from President Carías and Senator Sacasa that announcements explaining why recognition is accorded may be made separately by each of the three countries as mentioned in the preamble in President Sacasa’s originally proposed protocol and Department’s telegram to me No. 1 of January 12, 5 p.m.,33 in such form and manner as each consider suitable.

Repeated to Managua and Guatemala.
