Judgment In Honduras Dispute BRITISH NOTE TO GUATEMALA NZP A—Copyright Rec. -9 p.m. LONDON. Sent. 27 Britain has told Guatemala that the dispute between the two countries over the ownership of British Honduras must be judged at the International Court in The Hague on a strictly legal basis as “this is the only fair way in which justice can be fulfilled.” The British point of view was contained in a Note delivered by the Guatemala Government on September 9. the text of which was published by the Foreign Office in London today. The Note was in reply to one from Guatemala on May 27, which protested against British plans for tne development of British Honduras. The Guatemala Note also criticised the failure of the British Government to answer earlier Notes, which pressed for the issue to. be carried to The Hague on an equity basis. The British Note rejected Guatemala’s protest against development while ownership of the colony was unsettled. It challenged the Guatemalan claim that judgment on a legal basis would prevent the use of certain relevant arguments.
