The Minister in Costa Rica ( Davis ) to the Secretary of State

45. Legation’s despatch number 1554 of June 5, 1929. President González today informed me that the Panaman Government has proposed boundary negotiations here between Minister Arias and Costa Rican representative under good offices of the Chilean Minister.

At a Cabinet meeting yesterday it was decided to accept the proposal with the understanding that negotiations are to be held under the joint good offices of the Ministers of the United States and Chile.

While it is possible that the Panaman Government may not accept this suggestion, please instruct me as to the attitude I should assume in this matter.

Davis
