27. A note was sent to the Honduran delegation today expressing the firm hope that the following texts corresponding to points 6 and 9 would receive the approval of their Government:
- [Point] 6. A mutual offer by both Governments not to use stamps on which appear maps of Honduras and Nicaragua. It is clearly and explicitly understood that this offer does not in any way affect the basal rights which are claimed by each one of the Republics of Honduras and Nicaragua in their boundary dispute.
- Point 9 (last). A mutual offer by both Governments not to solve their present boundary dispute by arms but by the peaceful measures which are consecrated by the anti-war pacts signed at Buenos Aires December, 1936. This offer preserves the reservation of Honduras as deposited (con sagrada) in the Arbitration Convention signed January 5, 1929, in Washington, et cetera.
