Government. The effective representation by the Embassy
is summarized below:
The Department of State in a telegram dated June 4,
1951, informed the Embassy that it would be most helpful
if, in submitting its first report to the United Nations
Additional Measures Committee due June 18, 1951, the
Panamanian Government could state that it had taken or
would take necessary steps to control cargoes of stra-
tegic materials to North Korea and Communist China
carried in vessels of Panamanian registry. The Embassy
was instructed to suggest to the Foreign Office that
the Government of Panama might wish to consider taking
steps to advise all ships flying the Panamanian flag that
their certificates of registration would be withdrawn if
calls were made at Chinese Communist or North Korean
ports.
Immediately upon the receipt of this telegram on
June 5, Mr. Murray M. Wise, who was then acting as
Charge d'Affaires ad interim of the Embassy, met in his
office with Second Secretary G. Wallace LaRUE, Officer
in Charge of the Political Section, his assistant,
Second Secretary Rufus Z. SMITH, and Consul Charles
M. GERRITY, Officer in Charge of the Consular Section of
the Embassy
