DR.. Henri de Bayle, charge d'afaires
of Nicaragua, said yesterday recent
representations to the State Depart
ment by Chile and Peru warning
against Intervention in his country
were based on unfounded fears that
Nicaragua had requested interference.
If, as appears to be the case" De
Bayle said in a statement, the rep
reservations Of Chile and Peru to the
Government of the United States were
based on the belief that the govern
ment Of Nicaragua had requested the
intervention of other governments Of
this hemisphere, 1 cannot but express
surprise at the attitude of Chile and
Peru, which, in my opinion, should
have investigated the facts before
proceeding to make representations
based on rumors utterly lacking IL
truth
He said emphatically that his gov
ernment had not requested outside
interference since on one hand it
has not desired to do so and on the
other hand it is aware that such
request would be contrary to the spirit
of an international agreement to
which it is a party.
In this connection, I believe it
opportune TO state that from the be-
ginning, the Government of the
United States has adhered to the
attitude of not intervening in the
domestic affairs of Nicaragua"
Secretary Hull replied Thursday to
Chile and Peru with a statement
affirming this Governments strict ad-
herence to its noninterventionist pol
