This action was the first of the Harding administration In the real of foreign affairs, and was said to have been based on the ground of broad expediency, as the dispute be- tween the Central American repub- lies involved American interests in the Panama canal zone.
 A peaceful solution of the dis
 pute over the territory of Coto
 the basis of the White award is
 understood to have been suggested.
 The notes did not suggest media-
 ton by the United states, but were
 understood to have conveyed the
 impression that this country stood
 ready to enforce, if necessary,
 peaceful solution.
 LONG CONFERENCES HELD t
 Dispatch of the notes followed ex. tended conferences between President Harding. Secretary Hughes and John w. Weeks and Edwin Denby, the new secretaries of war and navy. Mir. Hughes took up the subject of the dispute with Under Secretary Davis i'm. mediately after his induction into office and later spent nearly two hours with Mir Harding at the White House.
 Secretary Weeks was called in soon after the conference began and pre- scented latest dispatches from the canal zone as to the situation. MT. Denby discussed the question later with the President.
 Replies from Panama and Costa Rica to the notes dispatched several days ago by former Secretary Colby were received today at the state de- partment That from Panama was said to have expressed willingness to accept the offer of the good offices of the United States in attempting to settle the dispute but the one from Costa Rica was described as unsatis- factory. It was received contem~ poraneously with reports that that government still was sending troops into the disputed territory
 NO OFFICIAL. INFORMATION
 It was said that tic American gov. ernment had no official information that either Panama or Costa Rica in- | tended 10 submit the dispute to tho League Of Nations as reported in press dispatches from Central America and Paris. Today's action of the state de- partment, it was added, was taken without. reference to such reports
 President Harding and his aa-
 viscrs were said to have given
 their approval of the steps already
 taken to protect American inter-
 ests in the zone of hostiIitics and
 indicated that unless the two
 American warships now on their
 way south proved adequate to ac-
 eOmplish that purpose a larger
 force might follow them.
 President Harding has taken keen personal interest in the situation and was said to be anxious to see every thing possible done to restore peace. Because of his recent visit to Panama and the canal zone 1t was said hs feels that he might be in q peculiar position to establish concord.
