91. President Paz called for me today and, after stating most earnestly that he believed Guatemala was preparing to occupy with armed forces Honduran territory to the east of the Motagua River, insisted that I inquire by telegraph whether the Department would use its good offices in an effort to prevent such action on the part of Guatemala. I have no way of knowing whether there is any foundation in fact for the fears of President Paz but I believe he is entirely sincere.
Repeated to Guatemala.
Summerlin
