Forum of the People

"At the beginning of this century
the United States government deter.
mined that it wanted to build a canal
and as it didn't own any land on the
isthmus and didn't wish to enter upon
conquest and had already built the
Panama railroad and operated 1t fifty
years under the Clayton Bulwer treaty,
and in strict accordance with It, our
government applied to England for
modification of the Clayton Bulwer
treaty, which was granted in the fol-
lowing particulars.
1T was agreed that the United States
should build and manage and operate
the canal, have all the rights incident
to construction and ownership, sub.
ject the stipulation of the treaty
affecting its use as to equality and neu-
trality.
"a provision was placed in the treaty
that if we afterwards acquired sover-
eighty it should not change the terms
of the treaty as to equality and neu-
trality. We have acquired substantial
sovereignty by subsequent treaty with
Panama and have built the canal and
are now trying to repudiate the agree
ment made through England with the
balance of the world"
With a character as spotless-with
concepts of honor, duty and action as
lofty as Woodrow Wilson's are, could
he be expected to descend to the level
of those who would invite national dis
grace to satisfy the rapacity of the Nix
ons and their ilk? Alas! Alas! The

yells in Mississippi through many cam
paigns, against Predatory Wealth."

Dear Sir:-Please publish this.

you state that no such order should

growing order in existence today, hav-

And l do hereby state the fact to
you that the Loyal Order of Moose
does not promote the Illicit sale OF
liquor in any form or manner, in vic.

to your statement that the chief pur'
pose of this great order being the pro-
motion of social drinking, can easily
say that you should try to familiarize
yourself with the purposes of this or
