 FORTNIGHTLY SUMMARY OF CURRENT NATIONAL SITUATIONS, November 15, 1941
Arnulfo Arias, ex-President of Panama, while in Managua manifested a strong desire to get in communication with a German General in Argentina.
This would indicate that Arias also had been involved in contacts with Germans in Argentina, as had the Honduran exiles, to whom Ambassador von Thermann had promised assistance in the contemplated revolt against the present government of Honduras.
It now appears that Arias may have been aware of this and a party to the plot, though the possibility exists that he had requested German aid against the U. in Panama.
