Legislation Is Sought
For u. ). Transfer Of
Property 10 Panama
Roosevelt Asks Congress
To Make Concessions
For Air Bases

President Roosevelt today asked
Congress to approve legislation au-
thorizing the transfer to Panama of
United States-owned water and
sewage systems and real estate in
Colon and Panama City.
The legislation asked by the Pres
ident would implement a recent
agreement under which Panama
granted this country use of extern
sive areas for air bases and other
defense purposes and the United
States agreed to certain concession
sought by the Panamanian Govern
ment.
Mr.. Roosevelt pointed out in his
message to Congress that Panama
has demonstrated its willingness to
assume promptly and whole heart
edly the burdens imposed upon it as
partner in the defense of the Pam
anna Canal" and has been thor
oughly cooperative" in emergency
war measures.
In my opinion he added, "the
time has come for this Government
to make certain concessions which
have been desired by the Republic
of Panama over period of years,
and in this manner to correct GER
tain factors in the relations between
the two countries which do not
make for confidence and friendship
between our two countries"
The concessions he recommended
include turning over to Panama
the water and sewage systems in
Colon and Panama City, which were
installed by this Government when
it built the Panama Canal, anc
convey to the Panamanian Govern
ment all the American rights in
real estate in the two cities held by
the United States-owne Panama
Railroad Co. which is not needed
for operation of the railroad or pro-
| lection of the canal.
The president pointed out that
the Panama Railroad Co. now is the
''landlord' for most of the property
in the city of Colon and that ''fol
obvious reasons this Is unsatisfac-
/ tory"
| Another concession recommended
/ would liouidate credit OF S2,o0O,vU>
made to Panama by the Export.
| Import Bank for construction Of
! Panama's share of the Chorrera
Rio Hato Highway, a road he de.
scribed as now essential to our de-
