Have received following cable from Lindberg, deputy collector general, Managua:
“Government of Nicaragua absolutely refused State Department request to send election observer stating Government of Nicaragua will be able to guarantee free elections. Unless the State Department will act forcibly serious situation will be result. Reconciliation seems impossible and the Government party can control election.”
