UlTIMATUM SENT
 PANAMA REPUBLIC
UNITED STATES MAKES DEMAND THAT PANAMA ACQUIESCE
 IMMEDIATELY.

Washington. Secretary of State Hughes has made public the text of the note he dispatched recently to Panama, practically an ultimatum de- manding immediate acquiescence by that republic in Chief Justice Whites settlement of the boundary dispute with Costa Rica.
 It is the first lengthy note pro- duced by the new secretary of state. and embodies judicial analysis of the dispute eliminating in the conclu- sion that Panama has not a leg to White award The document Is in- teresting also as an illumination of frequently expressed opinions of law yers that when MT Hughes has stated case there is nothing left to be said on his side of the dispute.
 After calling on Panama to proceed at once to arrange with Costa Rica for the appointment of an engineering commission to delimit physically the boundary decreed by Chief Justice White, Secretary Hughes concludes his note:
 It is to be hoped that the govern ment of Panama will recognize that motives of true and impartial friend ship for the governments of Panama and Costa Rica prompt the making ksf these representations to the gov ernment of Panama. The government of the United States would view with apprehension continuance of this dispute, which has already given rise to hostilities with attendant loss of life if such a continuance were caus- ed by the refusal on the part of the government of Panama to carry out obligations which it has bound itself solemnly to perform This govern ment. therefore. deems it it's duty to ask that the government of Panama definitely indicate it's intention to comply with the representations made to it by the government of the United States
 In taking this action the admins. tration is actuted primarily by the desire to discharge the obligations of the United States arising from it's close and special relationship to the republic of Panama Under the Hay Buona-Varilla treaty the United States undertook to guarantee and maintain the independence of Pana- ma. To perform this duty Mir. Hughes points out, it is necessary for the United States to advise itself of the territorial limits of Panama. More over. discharge of the American obli- gation is conditioned upon Panama s faithful observance O. it's own inter national obligations. Mir Hughes makes it clear that there are to be no treaty scraps of paper" in Amer ican affairs
