Because of the vital need for pro-
viding adequate protection for the
Panama canal, officials of the treas
ury department are said to view with
great favor the offer of Panama to CO.
operate in making the Canal zone as
nearly impregnable as possible. For
this reason no hitch is expected in
speedily forming a working agreement

soon as Secretary McAdoo has gone
over the project with Dr. Morales and
his conferees. il is probable the war
department will be called into confer
ence to work out the military details.
