The Secretary of State to the Chargé in the Dominican Republic (Hinkle)
17. Your 19, February 9, 1 p.m. The question of the competence of the Neutrality Committee to deal with matters arising out of the [Page 287] Declaration of Panama was submitted by the Pan American Union to the representatives of the American Republics in Washington and by them to their governments. The answers to this question should follow the same channel. In your discretion, please bring this matter informally to the attention of the Dominican Minister of Foreign Affairs since the Pan American Union has as yet received no reply from the Dominican Government.
