Hughes Sends Note to Panama.
Washington, Aug. 22.-The United
States has decided to authorize the
republic of Costa Rica to occupy the
territory now held by Panama, but as
signed to the former by the White
Loubet boundary award.
Panama was so informed in a note
from Secretary Hughes under date of
August Is, the text of which was
made public by the State department.
Text of Note.
The text of the note:
"The government of the United
States has received the note adj
dressed by the government of Pan
anna on August 6 to the American
minister in Panama, replying to the
communication handed by the minis
ter on August 2 to the government of
Panama by instructions of the gov
eminent of the United States, in
which were transmitted two requests
of the government of Costa RIGA re-
lating to the boundary dispute be-
tween the republic. of Panama and
Costa RIGA.
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 argu-
ments advanced in this cOmmunica-
F.! ton have been fully answered in pre-
] vious notes addressed by the govern
! ment Of the United States to the gov
eminent of Panama.
j "I1 is greatly regretted that it has
! proved TO be impossible for the gov
| ernments Of Panama and Costa Rica
! to come to direct agreement for the
delimitation of that portion Of the
boundary between the two republics
! laid down by the White award
! No Reason for Delay.
/ Sin view of the fact that the gov
eminent of Panama appears unwilling
/ to carry out this delimitation in the
manner provided in the Porras-Ander-
son convention, and inasmuch as a
| 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
| delimitation, has already been afford
/ ed, there would seem to be no reason
| why the government of the United
States should, as the friendly media
tor between the two governments, or
by virtue of it's special relation to the
government of Panama, feel COM
| PEELED to suggest to the government
! Of Costa RIGA that it delay longer
| taking jurisdiction over the territory
which is now occupied by Panama and
| which was adjuGged to belong to
Costa Rica by the terms of the Loubet
| award.
"The government of the United
States is now advised by the govern
siders that the Porras-Anderson con-
/ vention is in force, and since it be-
/ lieves that there is no valid reason
for delaying it's complete execution
any longer, it is ready to assume i'm
mediately the jurisdiction over the
| territory above refer ed to-
