WHITE AWARD
MUST Be. BASIS
OF NEGOTIATIONS
Harding Takes Firm Stand
in Panama-Costa
+ 80 Rica Dispute

Washington, D. c.. March 19.-The
decision of Chief Justice White in the
I Panama Costa Rica boundary dis
pute must be the unalterable posi-
ton of the United States President
appeal from President Porras Of
Panama.
Although he expressed regret Pana-
ma should feel wounded by tho de-
| cision described in the Porras message
as painful and humiliating," Mr..
Harding declined to consider any
other basis OF settlement and assert
ed that the state department note in
sisting on enforcement of the decision
had his party's approval.
The exchange between the two exc
cuuvcs was in the nature of an ad
interim discussion while tho state de-
partmcnt awaited Panama s reply to
its note.
Costa Rica has accepted the White
award.
President Porras recalled the eI-
pressions of friendship from Panama
given by Mr. Harding last November
during his visit there and voiced a
hope that tho Panamanian people
might not be disappointed in their
this President Harding renewed his
avowals of cordiality but added that
the exercise of friendly relations. al
ways, must be tempered by justice.
President Porras' c@blegram said:
Demand from tho state department
that my government would accept
White decision is painful and humiliat-
Ing. More 30 when two legislatures
and all the municipalities in the re-
public have pctitioncd for the rc1ec-
ton of that decision on the ground
that the arbitrator notoriously ex-
cosdsd It's Jurisdiction, giving Costa
Rica more than what her representa-
two asked from President Loubet and
also because II is against provisions OF
Panama's constitution.
'I appeal to you. Mr.. President. 70
calling your kind words with which
you expressed your friendship ana
good wishes toward my country when
you hopored us with your visit in No
vember.
Il beg Of you. Mr.. President. to use
your influence SO that the boundary
dispute may have n solution more in
accord with Justice and dignity than
| the one We are being asked TO accept
We fanamanians arc confident In
your righteousness and wc hope that
| the confidence will not be rewarded
with disappointment"
| President Harding's reply said:
1.-The communications from our state
department to tho government Of
Panama and the government OF Costa
Rica have been sent with tho full
knowledge and hearty approval of the
executive.
ut would hc exceedingly distressing
to mo to- believe that the government
/ OF Panama had cause to feel wounded
or to assume for any reason the gov
ornmcn, of the United States is in any
way unmindiy OF your peculiar friend :
ly relationship. with recognized
mutuality OF interest. The friendly
Expressions made in your presence In.
formally last November ace repeated
