PANAMA GETS SHARP
NOTE FROM HARDING
Let Costa RIGA Alone, the U. S. Pres
ident Tells Executive Of
Little Republic.

Washington, March 21.-President
Harding personally served notice on
the President of the republic of Pana-
me that the United States expects the
Panama government TO end hostilitles
with Costa Rica and abide by the
boundary decision OF Chief Justice
White of the United States Supreme
court.
He dispatched a note couched In
polite but Singularly firm language, 10
President Porras after the Panama
chief executive had appealed to him
directly over the head of Secretary OF
State Hughes TO reverse the position
taken by Mr.. Hughes Thursday when
the latter demanded that Panama ac-
cept Chief Justice Whites decision.
President POrras declared that Mr..
Hughes note TO the Panama govern
ment was painful and humiliating."
Immediately after the receipt of the
message from President Porras. MIR.
Harding called Secretary Hughes into
conference and later the Presidents
answer was given out at the White
House. In Il the President declared
that "the decision of the chief justice
Of the United States must be the un-
alterable position of this government"
The exchange between the heads of
the two nations Is unusual in diplo-
matte procedure in that the rule or
negotiating through the state depart
ments was suspended. The emphatic
and final character of Mr.. Harding's
reply Is relied upon in administration
circles to bring about an early res
toratlon of peace In the Central
American region.

bonds which are now selling at about
l71e or thereabouts, are not the COM
pany's refunding issue, which by the
way is q per cent bond and not a
8 per cent, due in 1859, but are the

bond issue issued by the Seaboard Air
Line and previously issued by the COM

Seaboard system They are a very
poorly secured issue of one oe the

We agree with you that the Seaboard

Polish Bonds

euestion--Am constantly receiving In
vestnent circulars, and as a reader OF
Your paper, can you tell anything about
the iucicsed circular, which interested me
more than some others'--E. W. s
Answer We have expressed orr
opinion on several occasions of the
Clty of Warsaw bonds described in the
circular you inclose. We will trv to
clucidate the matter once more. Let
rs suppose that Polish exchange does
some day return TO it's nominal par, so
That 100000 mark bond for which
you paid S198.50 Is the equivalent of
S23, 800, ard the annual interest s1.19O.
Is 1t not obvious that such trenen-
dous appreciation in the value CT the
currency in which the debt would have
TO be paid would result inevitably in
the bankruptcy of the debtor? How
could & relatively poor country, such
as Poland. afford to pay it's debts at
a currency ratio of 119 TO |? What
would become of any Polish govern
ment which attempted to enforce the
necessary measure of taxation to pay
you S119 for every dollar they re-
ceived- from you? II seems to US that
the answers to these questions are suf-
ticiently obvious and that they stamp
the purchase Of new issues of Palish

lgent. 1t is, OF course, on such an
appreciation in exchange that the pur-
chaser Of these bonds depends for
