WEEKS POSTPONES
 STROTz DECISION
Secretary Won't Give Verdict For
 Two Weeks


 WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-After further conference with Governor Morrow of the Panama Canal zone, Secretary Weeks today determined to postpone for two weeks or more his decision regarding the proposed con tract sought by Charles E. Strotz of New York, under which certain wholesale activities of the Panama railroad commissary department would be transferred to private ope- ration.
 The government of Panama some time ago protested against the con- tract on the ground that the land now used by the Panama railroad for farming and other uses in connection wit the commissary was made avail able to the United States government originally for it's own uses and not for leasing for private operations.
 The fact that Secretary Weeks has deferred his decision became known shortly after Minister Alfaro of Fan anna had conferred with President Coolidge at the White House on a matter, which he said. was "of some importance to his government.
 At the White House it was said the conference between Minister AL faro and President Coolidge had dealt with the attitude of the United States on questions relating to the exercise of full sovereignty by the Washington government in the canal zone. The minister was assured the United States did not wish to exer- else that sovereignty in way con trary to the interests of business ac- tiyities in Panama or tG the wishes of the Panaman government ana would not do so for the sake of H. nancial profits.
 At the same time the complete treaty right of the United states wa, made clear to MT. Alfaro.
