The Secretary of State to the Minister in Panama ( South )

[Paraphrase]

52. Legation’s telegram number 78, August 6, 2 p.m. As no reply to your note regarding the Tonosí wireless concession appears to have been received, you should see the President and ask him when a reply may be expected. You should make it plain that the Department expects the reply will be favorable.

When you have received assurances that the Government of Panama shares the views of the Department as to the establishment of radio stations and the construction of railroads in Panama you may inform the President orally that the Department is not disposed to object to the contract between the Government of Panama and the Chiriqui Land Company, but that the position of the Department with regard to the question of radio and railroads remains as expressed to the Government of Panama in former communications.
