PORRAS' APPEAL

The rather unusual course OF
President Porras of Panama in ad-
dressing himself directly to Presi-
dent Harding, instead of communi.
eating thru the customary diplomatic
channels his appeal for reversal of
the Loubet-White decision affecting
the boundary dispute aslween Pan
ANA and Costa RiCa. eApained on
the ground that It amounted to an
attempt at an ad interim discussion
while the state department awaited
Panama's reply to Secretary Hughes
note. That reply has been dispatched
and answered. The president
published rejoinder to the Porras ap-
peal must be accepted as closing the
affair SO far as the United States is
concerned. Costa Rica has accepted
the boundary award; Porras indi-
Gates that his position is made Diff
ficult by the insistence of his country
men that the decision be rejected
a position which has been taken, o.
we'll. by the legislative body of the
Isthmian republic.
President Harding's reply is court
eous, but necessarily firm in tone,
since the Porras appeal contains NO
new argument in favor of the PAN
anna contention. Mr.. Harding goes
on to say:

tressing to me to believe that the

made in your presence informally last
November are repeated now, and
there is deep concern for full justice

Chicago. - Responsibility for the

to railway rates by speakers on Mon.
day before the national shippers con.
ference called with q view to bringing
about reduction Of railroad rates.
Speakers said: Cabbage selling In
Chicago for Z cents a pound is sold
for $3.50 ton in Texas, and oranges
are rotting In California under signs
reading: Too cheap to sell; help your.

The conference, representing farm.
ers, manufacturers, miners and others,
rejected a proposal that a permanent
organization be formed to be known
as the National Organization of Ship
pers and Consumers, but indicated
resolutions of protest would be sent
to congress and to the railroad execu.

'The railroads." he said, "were al
