been learned, but has translated into

ing the mission work of his church in
that field, he has written a number
of textbooks, a Nupe grammar, and

SAYS OUR PANAMA CASE
RESTS ON AN ILLUSION
London Writer Contends That
U. S. Has No Sovereignty
Whatever in Canal Zone.
Whatever ]


London. Sept. J-Lucien Wolf. In
The Daily Graphic" endeavors 70
show that the American case in the
Panama Canal dispute rests on an It.
Iusion He SAYS. The United States
has no sovereignty in the Canal Zone
whatever II has only q perpetual
lease. with delegated sovereignty wnie
the real sovereignty remains vested IN
the Republic OF Panama. What IS
granted by the Hay Bunau- Narliia
treaty is the use. occupation and con-
troll Of the Canal Zone, and although
this Is in effect As wide as sovereignty.
- is expressly stated that II IS not
sovereignty. but only such as the
United states would possess were II
sovereign territory.
+ Hence in law Panama is still Sow
ereiEn OF the Canal Zone. Now what
IS the consequence Of this limited ten
uree Il IS that in the Canal Zone the
United States Is legally just as much
foreign state as any other foreign
state and that n II exercises SOW
ereignty in Panama IL can 90 20 only
within the limits OF that sovereignty as
defined by treaty.
THE British commercial treaty win
Colombia. signed in 1856. the obliga-
tons Of which have been inherited by
Panama. guarantees mOst-favored-na-
ton treatment 10 Great Britain.
Another important point has been
overlooked 10y President TAFT when ne
talks Of the United States granting
certain privileges to other nations IN
her own territory. He forgets that
when the -Pauncefote treaty was
signed the United States had no tenure
whatever IN the Canal Zone, and had
not even made Up its mind whore the
canal Zone was 10 bc. Consequently.
the relationship OF the signatories was
that the treaty was not one Of grantor
and grartee. but precisely the same a.
that Of the sigustories 20 the Clayton
Bulwcr treaty.
This treaty did not deal with the
question OF American municipal Law,
but merely with project in which
both parties had equal rights. The
reference TO all nations in Article III
was intended either to include both in
that category or 10 exclude both. II
could not possibly have been intended
to exclude only one, and even II II
were so designed there Is nothing TO
show which one was to be excluded,
for, so far as the treaty is concerned.
there is not hint Of the sort OF ten
ure under which the canal was to be
constructed and not the remotest sug-
restion Of United states sovereisnty."
