J. s. May Bring
 Pressure on Panama
Unless Panama Acts VoIun- tarily Within "a Reasona- ble Time" in Boundary Dis pute.

washington. May 2.-Unless Panama acts voluntarily within "a reasonable time'' the United States will take meas ures to compel her to transfer jurisdic- ton of the disputed Coto territory to Costa Rica, Secretary Hughes says in d recent note to the Panama government, The text of the document was made pub- llc today at the state department.
 This government believes that it would be inadmissible to interpret it's ob- legations to the republic of Panama as embracing an obligation to support any claims for adjoining territory which might be advanced by the government Of Panama, no matter what the opinion of this government might be as to the validity of these claims" the note says.
 The Panaman claim that it's title to the disputed territory had been unchailenged since colonial times, the note holds as in no way ''entitling the government of Panama to demand the occupation of ter rItory which is not a part of the republic Of Panama and has beeA conclusively ad Judged to belong 10 Costa Rica"
 That territory which was adjudged to be a portion of the territory of the re- public of Costa Rica,' the note declares. in accordance with boundary line which the republic of Panama had formally declared clear and indsputable. "stin re- mains in the opinion of the American government the territory of Costa Rica. and IS to. be respected as such

 MT Mcfarland said that few news papers would be affected The strike will not affect newspaper printing plants, un- less an effort is made to employ non- union printers in offices where newspaper and job printing plants are combined, he said.
 Union officials declared that the spor- adic strikes throughout the country could only be brought to an end by local agfee- ments. Local unions were all instructed, they said, to call strikes in offices where the forty-four Mur week had not been made effective May l.

U. S. DECIDES PROPOSALS ARE
 NO BASIS FOR DISCUSSION

Washington. May z.-The German repzrsti tions counter proposals are unzc- csptahle as a basis for discussion. Sec retary Hughes informed pr. Simons. ths German foreign minister, in a note to- night.
 The secretary at the same time urged the German government 10 make fur ther proposals directly to the allied gov- ernments. He also expressed again the earnest desire of the American govern nient for a prompt settlement of this vital question"
 The text Of Secretary Hughes cpFr- munication. which was dispatched to- night at II o'clock 10 Lorinr DressL ths American high commissioner in Berlin follows:
 The government of the United States has received the memorandum left by pr. Simons with the commissioner ot the United States under date of April 24 relating to renarations. In reply this government states that it finds itself unable to reach the conclusion that ths proposals afford a hasis for discussion acceptable to the allied governments and these proposals cannot be entertained. This government. therefore. again er- pressing itsearnsst desire for a prompt settlement of this vital question. strong ly urges the German government st once TO make QiFcEAlF ID AuF aAAAEA ryHNAH- ments clear. definite and adequate pro- nosals which would In all respects meet its just obligations"
 The communication was made public by the secretary without comment and officials generally refused to discuss the situation.
 UnoficiaIly the opinion was expressed that developments at London. where the allied supreme council is in esssion. dis cussinC separations. would soon give the explanation of the American goyernment's action Whether these would demonstrats that the stand of the United States for payment by Germany to her full sbili ] but not 10 a deEre 10 retsrd unduly her | economic recupe-ation. had been met vas a subject upon which no light was shed tonight
 The American position is understood to have been since Germany forwarded her counter-rroposals that settlement should be achieved if possible by discus- 1 sion and that even in the face of an si- 1 lied advance into German territory tho | United States would not cease 10 worf for such settlement At the same time | it was emphasized that the American gov-
