At present there are no such intima-

TROUBLESOME TERRITORIES
CONFRONTING AMERICA !,
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

the United States must Of necessity
take a hand in maintaining law and
order, does the germ of trouble lie.
America had to take a hand in
Strengthening out the situations
which have arisen in Sonto Domingo
and in Haiti. These negro republics
from time to time have upheavals
which make necessary a bit of quiet
ing down and pacifying by the long
arm of the American government.
In the short historical lives of
these island republics, it has been a
rare thing for a President to survive
his term of Office or to come to his
death from natural causes. One of
them was torn to pieces by wild
horses. 1t is not unknown for the
legations Of foreign powers to be
attacked. Revolutions abound. In
the interior. while denials will be
made Of it. savagery often ZONES to
light, and there Is no doubt of the
survival of voodooism and it's awful
rites. The natives often are bitterly
resentful of American Intervention
to restore order, but the American
governmental policy is that this
country must be responsible for the
good conduct of it's smaller and less
enlightened island neighbors not far
off the Atlantic coastline.
| Cuba was nursed along by the
American government until strong
enough to stand alone. In spite of
everything that vas done for Cuba,
from the time it was freed from
| Spanish rule until America withdrew
from the island, there was always a
bitterly anti-American party which
was not lacking in demonstrations
Of it's feeling.
The Case Of Panama
The case of Panama is another
in point. The American govern
ment had a great deal to do with
the successful effort of this little re-
public to free itself from Colombia,
of which country it was formerly a
province. The successful revolution
at the beginning of this century wal
the last of about fifty such efforts.
America quickly recognized the new
republic, and the rest of the world
followed her lead. From the new
government America purchased the
canal rights which she had beer
trying to get from Colombia for a
long time. This concession includes
a ten-mile strip of land across the
Isthmus bordering the great cana
and the right to fortify the canal
On the other hand she must defend
the cities Of Colon and Panama, a.
either end of the canal and lying
within the ten-mile strip. These ci'
ties are not American territory, how
ever. a particular exception having
been made of them,
Naturally American influence IL
strong in these cities, particularly II
Panama City. the capital. and there
too, strong opposition to American
interference" has developed. For
getting the American responsibilit,
for Panama being free at all, there
have been outbursts of this feeling
from time to time.
In all Of these troubles the polio!
has been to smooth and calm dow
the excitable natives and discuss thu
TROUBLES openly as little as possible
For underlying everything else Il
nearly every one of these cases !
the always troublesome color ques
ton and the fact that argument
avail little or nothing in bringing
races to regard each other with tru
~fraternal affection.
