Hughes Note.
Following is the text of Secretary
Hughes note:
The government of the United
states has received the note addressed
by the government of Panama on
August 9th.
?. After the most careful considera-
ton of the statements contained in
the note of the government of Panama
above referred to, this government has
reached the conclusion that arguments
advanced in this communication have
already been fully answered in previous
notes. 1t is greatly regretted that it
mas proved to be impossible for the
governments of Panama and Costa Rica
TO come to direct agreement for the
aellmltatlon of that portion of the
boundary between the two republics
laid down by he White award. In
view of the fact that the government
OF Panama appears unwilling to carry
out this delimitation in the manner
provided in the Porras- Anderson CON
vention, and inasmuch as reasonable
time. mentioned in the note of this
government dated May 2. 1921. for the
reaching of an agreement as to the
manner of carrying out this delimita-
ton has already been afforded, there
would seem to be no reason whv the
government of the United States
should. as the friendly mediator be-
tween the two governments or by vir-
tue O.. its special relations to the gov
ernment of Panama. feel compelled to
suggest to the government of Costa
Rica that it delay longer taking juris-
iiction over the territory which is now
occupied by Panama and which was ad-
judged to belong to Costa Rica by the
-erms of the Loubert award.
The government of the United
states is now advised by the govern
nent of Costa Rica that since it con-
lders that the Porras- Anderson con-
