PANAMA ADVISED
To ACCEPT WHITE
BOUNDARY AWARD

| PANAMA, March 29.-Refusal on

decision of Chief Justice White, Of
| the United States supreme court,
! fixing the boundary between this
country and Costa Rica might lead
| to serious consequences for Panama,
declared tile message of President

| before the extraordinary session of
the national assembly. President
! Porras asserted that 2cn-acceptance
Of the White award would result in
| the United States withdrawing her
| friendly offices, which recently end
ed hostilities with Costa RIGA and
| that warfare would be resumed. He
declared that Costa Rica would re-
| ceive arms and support from other
| Central American republics, while
| Panama would be without means Of
| defense.
A committee of seven deputies
| was named for the purpose of study
| ing the note to the Panaman gov
| eminent from Secretary of State
| Hughes, who suggested the accept
ance of the White award. The COM
mittee will also consider the reply
and approved by al conference Of
prominent citizens of this country:
| This projected reply would oppose
| acceptance of the White award, and
would suggest that other means for
reaching a peaceful settlement be
| found.
| The committee was given time in
which to make it's report, but admin

that tSey believed the national as

Railway Situation
Discussed in Cabinet,
Especially Freight Rate

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The
railway situation hled first place in
cabinet discussion today, President
Harding calling for opinions from his
circle Of counsellors preparatory to
the framing of a general administra-
ton policy.
1t was indicated that the question
of railway legislation probably would
be touched Oh in the presidents mes
sage to the special session of con-
gress next month. To prepare 20"
his recommended ion Mr.. Harding will
confer with the chairmen of the in
terState commerce commission and
the railroad labor boaord within the
next few days.
The administration has been il
touch with railway executives and
railway labor leaders and the presi-
dent is understood to be much i'm
pressed by the present situation in
which the carriers are operating at a
loss at the same time that shippers
are complaining that rates are too
high. The wage reduction element
in the situa ton is understood to have
been touched on at the cabinet SEES
sion, but Mr.. Harding attempted to
reach 40 decision pending his con-
ference with the government agen-
cies which deal with railway con-
ditionS.
Freight rates were said to have
been particularly under consideration
ny the CaDlneL alInougn the SugSeS-
ton was made that present passen-
ger rates might be so high as to
restrict travel and actually curtail
railroad earnings.
The president and his advisors in
approaching the railroad problem
took into account the fact that I'M
der the present tariff schedules rail-
road rates make delivery of Ameri-
can agricultural products IN some of
the homo commercial centers more
expensive than costs Of their tmpor-
tation from abroad.

IS BEING FRAMED
BY ADMINISTRATION

WASHINGTON. March ga def
milton Of the Mexican policy of the
Harding administration is now be-
ing framed by the president and Sec
rotary of State Hughes. it was learn
ed today on high authority.
1t was indicated that adequate
protection of American life and
property by Mexico will be insisted
as part of this policy.
The last step taken by former
secretary of State Colby in the Mex
lean situation left the initiative in
seeking recognition from the United
States up to Mexico.
Mr.. Colby invited Mexico to ap-
point a commission to study with
this government the question of
American recognition and the guar
antees desired by the United States.
Mexico has neve raken advantage
of this invitation.
1t is believed, that Mr.. Hughes will
let this overture of the former adj
ministration drop and approach the
Mexican situation in spirit of in
sistence on protection for American
life and property.
Whether the first definition, OF the
Harding policy towards Mexico will
be in the form of a public statement
or communication to Mexico is not
known. but assurances were given
at the state department today that
any steps in the Mexican situation
will be made public.

Russian Far Eastern
Republic Would Open
Parleys With Japan

TOXIC. March 29.-CBy the Associ-
ated Press.)-Communications ex-
pressing desire to open diplomatic
relations with Japan, the United
States and China, have been sent to
the capitals Of these nations by the
Russian Far Eastern republic, says
a Vladivostok dispatch to the Jill
Chimpo. The Chita government has
also issused a declaration to the
world demanding that foreign inter-
ference in its affairs cease and that
foreign troops evacuate eastern Sibe-
ria. it being claimed that their pres
ence there is in violation of interna-
t1onal law. The declaration also, says
that the republic is composed of the
territories. of Trans, Baikalia, Pre-
Baikalia, Amur, Pre-Amur, Maritime
province, and the Island of Sagha-
lien.
The dispatch declares that some
delegates to the constituent assem-
bly, of the republic have denounced
the action of the government in ced-
ing a part of the peninsula Of KAN
chatka to the soviet government of
MOSCOW, asserting that this action
will result in placing the region in
the hands of American capitalists,
and in inducing Japan to take ag-
gressive measures at the mouth of
the Amur.
The japanese foreign office says
there is no connection between the
dispute over the cession of KAN
chatka and the proposed re-occupa-
ton Of points on the mainland of 81
IBERIA by Japanese troops. 1t is de-
clared that sending troops to the
mainland harmonizes with the origi-
nal project to occupy Russian terri
