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

Washington, March 23, 1934—5 p.m.

25. Your despatch No. 142 of March 3, 1934. Your conclusion not to approach the Panamanian Government further in an endeavor to reach an agreement covering the transfer of the radio stations at Puerto Obaldía and La Palma until further instructions have been received from the Department is approved. Due to the complications you report such instructions will probably not be sent until after agreement on the general question of control of radio in Panama has been reached. Discussion of general control with the War and Navy Departments is being held in abeyance pending the receipt of President Arias’ memorandum55 mentioned in your despatch No. 146 of March 10.
