Stadden, counsel here for the titular government In Nicaragua. The statement in part says: "King Haakon, having recognized President Madriz as the de jure, as well as defacto government of Nica ragua, as all other powers with the exception of the United States hav ing diplomatic relations with Nica ragua have done, It was eminently proper for him to recognize the de cree closing the port of Blueflelda.
