The Minister in Panama (Price) to the Secretary of State
[Received 7.43 p.m.]
Panama President writes me that “the arrival of the financial expert that we urgently need and which has been suggested or recommended by the State Department is anxiously awaited,” to [which I] have replied that I understood that his coming would follow the [passage] of such law by Panama as would enable him to render satisfactory service. While [waiting] upon such suggested law I suggest that steps be taken to locate such expert that he may come as promptly as possible following passage of law. Panama President to-day asks prompt response to the question of appointment of General Guardia as Secretary of the Treasury submitted by my cablegram of October 25th 4 p.m.5
