Mr. Rainey referred to President

have for what We regard as wise rea-
sons provided that for any speech or

questioned in any other place.
This provision We regard as essen
tial to secure full liberty OF speech TO

speech should be preserved. even
though It may occasionally be abused
1t ought TO be understood. however.

the president attached so little i'm
portance TO them that he had not even
read them until your protest came
He has now read them. and none
OF them concerning which he has
knowledge have any foundation in
fact. The president wishes me TO re
call 10 your attention that the attack
was made even more upon Americans.
Including the president elect. than on
the officials OF Panama.
The president need hardly say that
this government disavows all response
