PANAMA HAS FEARS
FOR CANALS SAFETY
MOraIss Explains Why AID Was Offer
ed to United States.

Washington.-~-Dr. Il. A. Morales, sec
rotary of state Of Panama, member
Of the Panama war mission to Wash
ington, has explained TIE object Of the
mission and the importance Of coop
GRAFTON between the United States and
Panama in defending the Panama
canal.
'@The present war has revealed the
possibility of very real dangers to the
canal and Panama territory" DR..
Morales said. I'm view Of these dan
gers and the participation by the Unit
ed States In the world conflict Panama
has assumed the definite status Of
belligerent and has offered to the Unit
ed States her cooperation and aid in
the defense Of the canal and Panama
territory.
"In order that the Panama canal and
Panama territory may be etticaciOusly
defended two elements are essential:
First, military roads and strategic rail-
roads; second, such increase in internal
agricultural production as would make
Panama independent Of the importation
Of the necessaries of subsistence.
"Inasmuch as the government Of the
United States has in the canal zone q
body of military engineers familiar
with the ground, Panama believes that
this work should be done under the di-
rection Of these engineers, and this was
recognized by the congress Of Panama
in a law comforting authority upon the
executive branch Of the government to
negotiate and carry out this business"
