visits in Washington since the
mid nineteenth century Presi-
dent Zaldivar of Ell Salvador.
was one of the first Chiefs of
State from our Southern neigh
bors to visit here. He came in
the 1905 and the first Pana-
marian President to come was
President Amador who returned
the visit of President Theodore
Roosevelt in November, 1907.
TR Visited Ponomo
President Roosevelt visited the
Isthmus in November, 1906 to
inspect the Panama Canal,
which caused a tempest of dis
cussion for he was the first
Chief Executive of this country
to venture beyond its borders.
However, it was argued, if he
visited the Canal Zone he still
was on United States territory.
It then was an unWritten law
that no President, while in Of
flee, should leave the confines
of the country. This was one
of the arguments against a
President attending festivities in
embassies as they are, tech
nically, the domain of that
country.
