the treaty in granting to the United

ty which it would possess and exer-
else 'ff it were sovereign" is an ad-
mission of complete sovereignty.
To the American officials the mean
ing of this language is that the Unit.
ed States is sovereign in the canal
zone and in the auxiliary lands and
waters mentioned. By the Panamans
the language has been construed as
limitation of the authority of the Unit
ed States.
The treaty of 1904 has been inter-
preted and given effect in many of it's
provisions under what is variously
known as executive order No. Is, or
the Taft agreement. This order was
issued by direction of President Roose-

fective in 1904. Mr.. Taft was then

~ ed to be engineering ones. They
are no longer related to canal
construction. They are now
economical, fiscal and political. Some
of them are far morescomplicated than
the Cucaracha slide in the Culebra
cut.
The American administration of the
canal present no serious problems.
These plans were all worked out a
year ago. They will be put in force as
soon as the law passed by congress in
1912 becomes fully effective through
the appointment of a governor of the
zone to supersede the canal commits
sion. The governor, of course, will be
Colonel Goethals.
While no promises are made as to
the time when the canal will be open
ed to commerce and cargo vessels will
be passing through it, writes Charles
M. Pepper in the Washington Star, to
one on the ground it is apparent that
this will be much sooner than has been
anticipated. A few weeks will deter
mine the experimental questions in re-
gard to the operation of the canal.
Then it should pass under the form of
administration provided by congress.
The operating and administrative
force for the canal will consist Of
about $500 persons, exclusive of sani
tation and government. 1t is this re-
duction from the huge force of labor
ers and clerical employees to the mini
mum that raises some serious prob
lens directly for the republic of Pana
ma and indirectly for the United
States. While in the beginning the
merchants on the isthmus objected
strenuously to. the United States feed
ing and clothing its army of canal en-
ployees through the medium of the

hostility to the canal. Other plans for
railway lines offer no such objections.
The canal commission has large
quantity of surplus equipment both
for the construction and the operation
of railway lines. If advantage is not
taken of this opportunity for cheap
railway construction the fault will be
that of Panama.
In connection with the possible de-
velopment Of the agricultural and 9th
er resources of the country as a means
of freeing 1t from too great de-
pendence upon the canal zone the fu-
ture of the zone is important 1t is be-
ing depopulated in accordance with the
act Of congress, except for those who
will be engaged IN the operation and
administration of the canal. The ca
nal laborers will not be allowed to re-
main within the limits. Land titles
are being extinguished and vested in
the United States, which in a short
time will be a monopoly landowner of
some $50 square miles of territory.
Planning For Future.
1t is clear that this plan of depopu,
lating the canal zone is desirable at the
present time. A question is raised,
however, whether the zone should be
continued indefinitely as a military
reservation. Some Of the officials who
have been engaged in the canal con
struction and administration think that
the United States later should lease the
lands on the zone to American citizens
who would care to engage in tropical
agriculture.
Another view of the depopulation of
the canal zone is the political one.
With the zone as a military reserva-
zion irritating questions will not arise,
and it is to be remembered that in
Panama, as elsewhere in Latin Ameri-
"a, there is an anti-American element
which is always looking for griev-
ance.
On the isthmus this element Is espe-
cially critical Of any concessions which
the government may make to the Unit
ed States. This local opposition is vio-
lent and unreasonable. Allowance
should be made for II in the efforts Of
the present administration to adjust
satisfactorily the various questions
which arise growing out of the some

goods in boisd. Unless the act is modi-
fed 1t is not likely to prove effective in
creating bonded warehouses.
The free port project has a broader
basis. 1t is that Panama could be
made the distributing center for a
large area Oh the Pacific side, while
Colon would serve for the Caribbean
districts If it became a free port Co
Ion would find itself in competition
West Indian trade. but Panama would
have no competition on the Pacific side
Free Port Republic.
Should the scheme be attempted it
might be necessary to make the minor
ports free also, so that Panama would,
in fact, be a free port republic. The
country could find sufficient sources of
revenue to get along without import
duties and could remit the present
small export tax, but such a plan
would be adopted with a great deal of
hesitation, especially since it might
mean the abandonment of the present
policy of encouraging domestic indus
tries.
Long years back Panama was free
port and merchants paid a graded Ii.
cense tax Those of them who are ad.
vocating the free port project say that
such a system would be satisfactory
now and would insure a larger rev.
enue.
The republic does not seem to be at
all badly off for revenue. Besides the
interest on the $6,000,000 canal pur
chase money deposited in New York,
it is now receiving from the United
States the $25OOOO perpetual annual
rental for the canal concession. This
is very comfortable lump income for a
country which has only 100000 inhab-
itants. But into the question of bond,
ed warehouses and free ports again
enter the relations with the United
States and the canal zone. 1t is the
United States which is building a ter
minal at Balboa, with all that is re.
Quired for ships and cargoes.
The Porras Administration.
The administration of President Por.
ras has an internal improvement pro
gram of its Own-good roads, agricul-

ing. All this is good. Its success is
not dependent upon American control

Panamans whether this program be-
comes more than paper program.

prove of some railway projects be-

Elementary orders.
Question of Tariff.
At the present time the republic of
Panama is chatting under one provi-
sion of the agreement. This relates to
the restrictions on its sovereignty in
making its own tariff laws. Under
the treaty of 1904 the United States
has been the tariff lawmaker for Pana-
ma. The customs duties were mainly
of a revenue character, and the rates
were not high, but when Panama
wanted to raise them from 10 to 10
per cent ad valorem the consent of the
United States had to be obtained. 1t
was given, but not Internationally,
and the Panama officials were not en-
Another view of the case was taken
by the majority of the Americans, in
Guiding some of the officials who are
identified with the canal construction.
Food supplies and clothing were ad'
mitted into the canal zone free since
they were part of the commissary sup.
plies, but the duty had to be paid on
cigars and two or three other articles.
The Panama national assembly at
its session last spring passed various
laws whose avowed purpose was to en-
courage native industries. Some of
these did not require the sanction of
the United States and are now in
force. Others have not been promul-
gated because the United States has
withheld its approval.
The plan Of having the United States
continue to regulate the Panama tariff
Is questionable. Some classes of COM
modities imported from the United
States would have to pay increased
rates, but it does not appear that
American commerce would suffer or
lose appreciably IN volume. The ques-
ton is actually one of policy or. pos
sibly Of expediency.
To Establish National Bank.
With the other measures passed by
the national assembly was very COM
prehensive one which looked to the es-
tablishment of national bank of is

An American bank on the isthmus,
and its provisions were submitted to

After the measure was passed the
New York financiers lost interest. The
plan itself has not been given up, but
If carried out it will be by London

American banks satisfied to take a
minority of the capital.

canal is for the establishment of free

coming from them has been put into
circulation every month. All business

Less Money Each Month.
Now the larger part Of this wage
money is to be withdrawn, not sudden
Iy, for the process has been going on
for months, but with certainty. 1t is
possible to calculate almost mQthemat-
ically from wage. rolls Of the canal
commission how large the sum is les
sened month by month. All this means
that dull times, as compared with eight
or nine years of flush times, are likely
to follow the opening of the canal.
The depression may not last long.
There is no reason why 1t should, but
the transition period is likely to be a
trying one until the volume of COM
merce passing through the canal, and
the consequent activity of the ports of
Panama and Colon, causes renewed ac-
tivity, although not on the scale of the
last few years. The administration In
power in the republic of Panama will
be held responsible by the "outs" for
the dun times. The government of the
United States also will be censured.
Human nature on the isthmus is, about
the same as human nature elsewhere
In this respect.
Some of the American officials would
have the Hay-Varilla treaty of 1904 re-
vised so as to make more clear the
rights of the United States on the 18TH
mus in connection with the canal, leav-
ing the government of Panama to de-
pend more largely on the development
of the resources outside the canal
sphere. In the future, as in the past,
there is no doubt that Panama will do
about what the United States thinks
is the right thing to do in connection
with the canal, but these American Of
ficials would leave nothing to disputed
