2. Major LOWTHERasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has been advised that ex-President Cabrera, of Guatemala, after his surrender was accompanied by the diplomatic corps from his headquarters to his place of internment; whether it has now been decided to put him on trial and on what charge; and whether this is in violation of the terms of his surrender?
Mr. HARMSWORTHI have not yet received detailed information as to the course of events since the resignation of ex-President Cabrera, and am not aware whether it is proposed that he should be placed on trial.
3. Major LOWTHERasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Don Carlos Herrera has been formally recognised as the president of the Guatemalan republic?
Mr. HARMSWORTHDon Carlos Herrera has not yet been formally recognised by His Majesty's Government as President of the republic of Guatemala.

Mr. HARMSWORTHMy hon. and gallant Friend knows that certain formalities must be observed, and those are now being considered.
