173. President Diaz showed me a manifesto which he proposes to issue tomorrow. The manifesto states that he personally favors Cuadra Pasos as the Conservative candidate for President because of his pro-Americanism. Under present circumstances the propriety of such action seems doubtful to us. Does the Department desire me to suggest that he withhold the manifesto?
