Panama Fails to Move
u. S. in Boundary Dispute
Reply Protesting Against En-
forcement Of White Award
Reaches Washington

WASHINGTON, April 13.It was in
dicated to-day ut the State Department
that the American government was dis
posed to insist upon tn original posi-
tion that Panama settle its boundary
dispute with Costa Rica on the basis
of the White award, despite the pro-
test contained in Panamn's reply re-
ceived to-day to Secretary Hughes's
note Of last month.
Department officers declined to-day
to forecast what steps would be taken
in an effort to overcome the present
impasses
The reply of the government of
Panama, which was approved by the
Congress Of that country, is bulky
document Of twenty-six pages, and In
cludes five separate enclosures, pre-
senting in detail Panama's objections
to the White award.
Details of it previously had been re-
ceived at the department, and for that
reason it was said that a reply might
be expected to go forward without
undue loss Of time.

through Ambassador Jusserand, is I'm
derBtoud to have accepted the American
view, and italy, 1t Is said, will give her
full support TO the claims of tho United
States. Italy alone of tho larger En-
tente European powers failed to re-
ceivo a mandate for any former enemy
territories and her statesmen arc said
to have felt that some regard should
have been had for that provision OF
the Treaty OF London which guaranteed
Italy a fair share OF tho territories OF
the common enemy, especially in the
eastern Mediterranean.
japan also Is understood to accept
the declaration of principles laid down
in Secretary Hughes's notes, but its
reply is expected to point out the diff
culties of applying these principles to
tho satisfaction Of ali parties, and to
invite practical suggestions for solu-
ton of the problem.
There is some talk in diplomatic
ence being called in Washington Of the
representatives of the powers interest
ed in the mandntcs, but 1t Is intimated
that before this can be done an effort
Will be made to ascertain whether the
American governments concern in the
matter of mandates ia limited to the
territories where the United States has
special interests, such as cable facili-
ties in zap, or whether it intends to
have a voice in each and every man
date.
The position Of the Harding Adminis-
tration with regard to such direct ne
gotiations remains to be defined, but it
was Indicated today by some officials
who discussed reports from Toxic that
Japan might propose a conference here
to take up various problems at issue
between that country and the United
States that an admission Of the Amer
lean contention with regard to this
countrys rights in the former German
territories properly should come first.
Count Shidehara, the Japanese Am
bassador, called to-day at the State De-
partment, and was in conference for a
short time with Under Secretary
Fletcher. His mission was not dis
closed, but it was understood that it
did not have to do with the mandate
question.

NopyrlEht, lJ2l. New York Tribune Inc.
BERLIN April 13.--President Har-
ding's message has failed to cause
citation in German official circles or in
the press. Both regard with great sat
isfaction what they believe is death
blow to the present League Of Ma
tions, but fail to see in the message
either a separate peace with Germany
or anything which will aid Germany in
her present critical situation.
The message has caused great disap-
pointment generally to Germans, who
had hoped it would contain compro-
mise proposal on Preparations.
The Cabinet postponed it's meeting
late this afternoon to obtain the full
text of the message, which will now
probably be an important factor in the
formulation of new indemnity offer
to the Allies.
New Proposals Closely Guarded

Minister, on reparations in the Paris

circles regarding the nature Of the
new proposals to the Allies. The only
information offered by officials is that
Germany will make more substantial
offer for the restoration of the devas
tated regions of France with German
labor.
The vossiche Zeitung comments on
President Harding's message under the
heading america Against Germany"
Germany Completely Isolated
President Harding's message" it
says, "leaves no doubt as to Americas
policy as distinguished from that of
the Allies. 1t is built upon a basis
peculiar to American interests and
offers no possibility Of American par
ticiration in European affairs, least of
all in favor of Germany. The message
emphasizes that Germany stands com
pletely isolated and has no hope of
outside assistance in her present des-
perate situation"
The Berlin Tageblatt regards the
message as historic document show
ing that Harding is "a man of his
word" and continues:
"The league is dead President Har-
ding's message definitely killed it. No
sharper criticism of the league was
ever made than Mr.. Harding's."

While France alone has replied to
