There is absolutely no truth in the rumor that he did not enter the plane or he left it on the French coast,” Capt. Drew said.

POWELL I'ress Correspondent) AMA CITY, Panama, July ma prefers to give con- cessions to United States firms “for obvious reasons,” says Minis ter of Finance Rusebio Morales but British interests make import ant headway because they ar more patient and less afraid of risk The most important concession granted in the last 19 years, in- volving the exclusive right to ex- ploit the mineral resources of a territory 4,600 miles square was given to the Panama Corporation Limited, a British company capital- ized at §10,060,000. | Since 1909 the Republic of Pan. | ma has granted more than 20 con- many of -them to eit’) zens of the United States, for the sxclusive exploitation of the mi wal, timber, industrial and a :ultural resources of the isthmus. Early this year a measure was | accepted authorizing the construc tion of a highway from some point near the city of Panama on the Pacific side, to Colon and down the coast to Portobello, on the At lantic side. It is a project of the first im- portance. Dr. Morales, in a state- ment outlining the government's plan, says that the Panama Cor- poration is interested, but that nothing has been done toward signi-ng a contract. He expressed frank favoritism toward { Amen s, Pl EAN f any American company should present itself showinfg sim- ilar interest, it is certain that the government would prefer the Americans for obvious reasons However, as it is not a question of obtaining immediate profits without risks, it is probable that no American concern will be found willing to make a bid for the undertaking. At least that is the impression American con cessionalres Fave left in the coun- try.” The statement includas fol lowing general summary of Pana ma’s attitude toward the foreign-| er seeking profitable concessions on the isthmu; “From the early days of the es tablishment of the repubiic the Panamanian government bas been endeavoring with justifiable ardor and even so precipitatedly as to deplore it later, in promoting the economic development and gen- eral progress of the country and favoring with special concesslons all those promoters who have so- licited them with the promise of bringing foreign capital to incor porate them in our country and establish new industries. Concessions “Almost all the concession: made for the purpose of develop ing some industry in the rountry or for faciiltating 1ts development were to American citizens, and it 18 worthy of note that almost all of them have either been can- celled because of mnon-compliance with requirements or abandoned because of lack of interest cn the part of the concessionaires. This has led us to the deduction that the greater number of solicitants for concessions of this nature come to the country, not with the firm purpose of establishing them- selves in it, but only of obtain- ing those concessions and taking them to the United States to try to sell them and reap immediate benefits from them. “A notable example of that which occurred with regard authorized in It was declared that the government entertained the pur- pose of improving the port f Panama and of constructiug ade- quate wharves and warehouses; to comstruct an automobile road between Panama City, Colon and Portobello, and a highway Yetween' the provinces ¢f Chiriqui and Bo- cas del Toro, undertakings which have as their object the upening up of the rest of the country to universal commerce, the exploita tion of the regions today totally isolatad and the promotion of the general welfare of the inhabitants Good Inducements “The government thought that the most economic manner o car- ry_out this work would be by mak- | concessions with good induce- ments for all capitalists who real- ly wish to assocfate themlelve!| ,(Wv on Page Two.) cessions, the this is iSouth . “Pray, Tell Us Which Is Which” | "The only wien successors, PRICE TEN CENTS RESIGNATION OF HOOVER WIRED TODAY ties Lost in Arctic Region SECRETARY OF C0MMERCE TO LEAVE CABINET Coolidge Receive: Kesigna- tion at fis Summer White House SUPERIOR, Wis,, resignation of FHorbert C.
