enceS With the Panama gov
ernment on canal matters. but
only when conditions were
normal" They were annoyed
when Panamanian authorities
failed to check a violent mob
during anti United States DEM
onstrations in the Canal Zone
November 3.
The concessions, which may
be announced this week, relate
primarily to the purchase Of
war supplies from Panama to
be sold at commissaries in the
Canal one by the United States.
Panama has complained that
this Government violates a 1855
treaty by buying excessivel. for
commissaries and military post
exchanges from countries other
than Panama and the United
States.
Panama is urging a clear
statement from Washington on
its sovereignty over the Canal
Zone, which the United States
leased in perpetuity under the
terms of 1903 treaty. Deputy
Undersecretary Of State Liv-
ingston T. Merchant, who flew
to Panama last month to calm
troubled waters, recognized that
that country has "titular sover-
eighty"
Apparently this does not quite
satisfy the more nationalistic
Panamanians anu they insist
that the flag Of their country be
planted in the Canal Zone and
hoisted on (ships alongside the
United States flag while the
vessels are passing through the
canal.
There is no decision yet on
what the United States will do
about the flag demand, but Of
f1cials have pointed out that a
concession on this point in
Panama woul, raise serious
questions with respect to flying
