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

[Paraphrase]

55. Legation’s telegram No. 79, August 12, 5 p.m. The Department presumes that you have carried out its instructions as set forth in its telegram No. 42, of June 3, 2 p.m. It does not, therefore, feel that any useful purpose will be served by presenting another note at this time refuting the position of the Government of Panama with regard to railroad construction in Panama. You may, however, again inform the President of Panama that the failure of the United States to protest against the contract between the Government of Panama and the Chiriqui Land Company does not alter its position with regard to the question of railroads and radio as expressed to the Government of Panama in former communications.
