De FACTO Government
SCORED BY DR.. BIANCHI
EXPLAINS Reason for Refusal to
Turn Over Guatemalan
Legation.

Declaring that 1.-THE so-called mill
tary government set up in Guatemala
by Gems. Orellana, Larrave and Lima
is illegal, contrary to the constitu-
ton Of Guatemala and imposed upon
the people of Guatemala by force OF
arms" DR.. Julio Bianchi, minister or
the Herrera government to Washing
ton. has made public his reasons Tor
refusing to surrender the legation ar
chives to representatives of the de
facto Guatemala government, which
came into power following the revo-
luton of December 6.
In his statement, Or; Bianchi as.
agents have legal authority to take
possession e.: the legations and
points out that -the diplomatic rep
resentatives of the Herrera govern
ment in France, Mexico, Nicaragua,
Honduras, Ell Salvador and Costa RIGA
have followed his example in refus-
ing to surrender their archives to
agents of the de facto government.
He asserts that the Legations and
consular offices will continue to func-
ton as in the past" and declares that
he will take orders only from the
government which appointed him and
from the republic Of Central America.
DR.. Bianchi also made public the
correspondence between himself and
Francisco Sanchez Latour, recently
appointed charge daffaires of the de
facto Guatemalan government in
Washington, in which DR.. Bianchi in
formed the Orellana envoy that he
would "be pleased to transfer the le-
CATION to your care as soon as you
are officialiy received by the most ex-
cellent, the President of the United
States"
To date, Mr.. Latour has made no
effort to obtain recognition for his
government from the State Depart
ment and the department has re-
fused to take cognizance of the de
facto regime in Guatemala pending
reports on the situation from the
American diplomatic officials in the
Latin republic.
