U.S.-PANAMA RELATIONS
“Deterioration Crucial”
(N.Z. Press Association —Copyright) WASHINGTON, April 8.
Panama’s new Ambassador to the United States told President Eisenhower today that United States-Panamanian relations had “reached a state of deterioration that might be described as crucial.
“This is the painful truth which I, as the emissary of a democratic government—must state without euphemism,” the Ambassador, Mr Erasmo de La Guardia, said in an unusually blunt diplomatic statement, as he presented his credentials at the White House, United Press International reported. The Ambassador told reporters that he and the President had a general discussion of the problems between the two countries.
He said the matter of flying the flag of Panama over the Canal Zone was touched on in passing. But he said none of the problems were dealt with specifically.
