The Minister in Panama (Davis) to the Secretary of State
[Received 4 p.m.]
44. Following is translation of telegram from Panaman Legation in France to Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs:
“Consultative Committee has asked me whether Panama would find it convenient to join in prohibiting the re-exportation and transit of arms destined for Peru and, in the affirmative case, to stipulate as to the adherence of what governments Panama would subordinate its adherence.”
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs has inquired informally as to action that has been or will be taken by the Department, stating he is inclined to follow United States in this matter. He called attention to last part of telegram which appears to suggest that League may desire affirmative reply based on condition that certain other governments adhere.
Please cable instructions for my guidance in making informal reply.
