Warning to Panama
Continued from Page One)

the arguments advanced in this COM
munication have already been fully
answered in previous notes addressed
by the government of the United
States to the government of Panama.
1t is greatly regretted that it l0s
proved to be impossible for the gov
ernmentS of Panama and Costa Rica
to come to a direct agreement for the
delimitatlon of that portion of the
boundary between the two republics
laid down by the White award.
In view of the fact that the gov
eminent of Panama appears unwilling
to carry out this deiimitation in the
manner provided in the Porras-Ander-
son convention, and inasmuch as a
reasonable time, mentioned in the note
of this government dated May 2. 1921,
for the reaching of an agreement as
to the manner of carrying out this de-
limitation, has been afforded there
would seem to be no reason why the
government Of the United States
should, as the friendly mediator be-
tween the two governments or by vir-
tue Of its special relations to the
government of Panama, fee! compelled
to suggest to the government of Costa
Rica that it delay longer taking juris-
diction over the territory which is now
occupied by Panama and which was
adjudged TO belong to Costa Rica by
the terms of the Loubet award.
The government of the United
States is now advised by the govern
ment of Costa Rica that since it con-
siders that the Porras-Anderson CON
Nention is in force and since it be
lleyes that there is no valid reason for
delaying its complete execution any
longer. it is ready to assume immedi-
ately the jurisdiction over the terri
tory above referred to-"
