PRESIDENT SUSTAINED.
Prof. Grosvenor Approves the Recogni
ton of Panama


dispatch from Amherst, Mass, last
professor of modern government and inter-
national law in Amherst College, thus sum
marizes the Panama question:
Shall the action of President Roosevelt
In recognizing the de facto government of
Panama be approved or condemned?
ut is to be remarked first, that this is a
purely academic and not a practical ques-
ton 1t is not a question as to possible
future procedure but as to irrevocable past
procedure. The French government recog-
nized the independence of the American
colonies in 177S The American govern
ment recognized the independence of Pan
anna in 1903. Both recognitions are equally
faftS accompliS
1T Is also to be remarked that the cir
cumstances attending the resumption of its
independence by the state of Panama are
without precise precedent. Hence, the
question cannot be determined by citation
of accumulated precedents, which, while
somewhat resembling the present case,
differ from it in essential details. Supposed
precedents, which do not fully apply, con-
fuse and mislead.
has been under the virtual protection of the
United States. This protection has been
accorded in return for the right Of way,
guaranteed by Colombia to the United
otdleS, Oh duy HOueS ol Coili1HulllCdlIolA
that then existed or that might thereafter
be constructed The ultimate construction
of a transisth mian canal was the special
object in mind.
by rejection of the canal treaty-a
treaty which had been drawn up after pro-
tracted negotiation with the Colombian au-
thorities and which the Colombian repre-
sentatives at Washington had signed-Co-
lombia, in effect, repudiated her obligations
to the United States. Moreover. Colombia
put herself in the position of an individual
who refuses to allow a needed highway to
be laid out across his estate, or will perl
NIT 1t only on terms that are eXtortion.
But the individual is obliged to submit to
the demand of public exigency. His resist
ante is made futile by the right of emf
nent domain. International law is still in
it's infancy. One of the problems that
await solution is-when the interests of hui
mainly are involved-the right of eminent
domain among states
THE rejection of the treaty by Colombia
In utter disregard of vital interests of Pan
secede. The American government appar-
emily did not possess, nor did it need,
greater knowledge of that imminent event
than was access BILE to any intelligent
American citizen Furthermore, it did not
in any way participate in the revolution
when it occurred
THE resumption by Panama of her rights
as an independent state affords opportunity
to relieve an intolerable situation A man
weaker or more timorous than President
Roosevelt might have hesitated. The
prompt recognition of Panama and the
timely warning given Colombia are judi
ciouS and effective. The President deserves
the approval and the thanks of the ma
ton"
