Panama Official Says U.S. Relations Are Deteriorating
WASHINGTON—(UPI) -Panama's new ambassador to the United States told President Eisenhower today U.S.-Panamanian relations have "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." Ambassador Erasmo de La Guardia said in an unusually blunt diplomatic statement as he presented his credentials at the White House.
Eisenhower replied:
"I firmly hope that the measures recently implemented by this government as well as those presently under consideration may redound to the benefit of Panamanian people."
The envoy said afterwards that the President showed optimism about improving relations.
The ambassador told newsmen 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. He said it was largely a courtesy visit, but added, "we had a pleasant conversation."
