The Minister in Honduras (Erwin) to the Secretary of State
[Received 8:55 p.m.]
77. Department’s telegram No. 32, October 8, 6 p.m. Called on Foreign Minister at 2:30 this afternoon to report substance of Department’s instructions. Was unable to make earlier engagement with Foreign Office because of Cabinet meeting this morning. The Foreign Minister, after reiterating Honduras’ position, as stated in my telegram No. 74, October 7, 4 p.m., expressed renewed appreciation of efforts of the United States to bring settlement. The Foreign Minister said however that his Government does not consider it advisable to offer a panel of sister republics for the purpose indicated until assurances are given in writing that points proscribed in his telegram of today will not be considered.
