INTERPRETIVE REPORT

manians think the impression
has been created that this
country owns the land. Some
of them say we act as if the
Canal Zone were a United
States colony.
Recognition Assured
Over the years, various Off
cialS have assured Panama that
the United States recognizes its
"titular" sovereignty, President
Eisenhower reiterated the view
at his news conference last
Wednesday. But Panamanians
cringe at the use of the word
"titular."
They say the lease granted
the United States Jurisdiction
over the zone for the purpose
of constructing, operating and

1T could be hoisted on ships in
the canal. And what would you
have to lose?"
But the officials who must
make the decision shake their
heads. They don't want to
create the impression Of di-
vided Jurisdiction.
There is no uniform flag pol
icy for United States stations
abroad. In some areas the flag
of the host nation les alongside
Old Glory. In at least one coun-
try-Spain-the United State!
flag cannot be flown even or
American bases. There is OBJ
vious fear in some circles here
that II a concession is made to
Panama on the ag request thai
many other concessions woulc
be demanded later.
When the original treaty wa.
signed in 1903. the United
States paid Panama $40 million
in gold and agreed to pay ar
annuity of $250,000 each year
The annuity was raised in 1886
to $430,000 because of the
devaluation of the dollar. Under
terms of the most recent treaty
in 1855, the payment was in
creased to $1,930,O0O annually
Panama does not share in the
tolls charged for ships passing
through the canal. Some cit
izens, notably Aquilino Boyd
one Of the more vocal politi-
clans, demand that Panama get
so per cent of the toll.
Last year the tolls amounted
to $46.5 million. Income from

other operations. including gov
ernment operated commits
saries, ran the total revenue of
the Canal Zone to $87 mil
lion. But operating expenses
amounted to $84 million and
the net revenue thus was SO
million. This profit was in
vested in Capital improve
ments.
United States policy in op-
Grating the commissaries has
come under sharp attack re-
Gently. Panamanians contend
the 1855 treaty has been vio-
lated in that too many supplies
for the government stores are
purchased outside Panama and
outside the United States.
Purchases Curbed
The treaty forbids the So
called third country" pur-
chases except when it is mot
feasible" to buy the supplies in
the United States or Panama.
Critics declare the word feast
BILE" has been misinterpreted to
mean economical" They OBJ
ject to the importation of meat
from New Zealand and Austria
liza, the purchase of rice in
Ecuador and similar transac-
tionS.
The United States decided
in October to yield on this
point but withheld the an
nouncement until last week
because of the hostile demon
strations and the failure of
Panamanian authorities to re-

From now on, more com
missary supplies will be bought
in Panama and this is expected
TO have q decidedly beneficial
effect upon the local economy.
The Panama Canal Co., the
government corporation which
runs the business Of the zone,
also mas agreed to remove as
many restrictions as possible on
the employment of Panamanian
citizens in the better r-paying
jobs.
3,4OO Employed
At present, the company en-
ploys 3,400 United States citi-
zens and $500 non-citizens
MOSTLY from Panama. Most OF
the skilled workers, technicians
and professional personnel are
from the United States and
therefore receive higher pay
than the unskilled labor in the
other group.
Also. under a worldwide
United States policy, the Amer
ican citizens receive a 25 per
cent overseas differential" plus
z or 8 per cent over their basic
pay. The latter is for tax pur-
poses.
Panama has complained that
various forms of discrimination
have been used to keep its
citizens out of higher wage
brackets. The latest, it says, is
the classification of an unnec-
essarily large number of posi-
tions as sensitive" and there

ington, President Eisenhower
hinted that the flag of Panama
may be permitted to fly some
day in the Canal Zone.
Complaints against United
States policy have Simmere6
for a long time. They were
brought into the open recently
by politicians who played upon
the emotions of extreme ma
tionalists and goaded them into
hostile demonstrations.
With the help of Commu-
nists and other anti-American
elements, the demonstrators
deSecrated a United States flag
and stormed into the Canal
Zone. In a violent clash with
police and soldiers, more than
so were injured.
At the root of Panama's re-
sentiment is the question of its
sovereignty in the Canal Zone.
The United States leased the
zone in perpetuity under a 1903
treaty but sentimental Pana-

Jurisdiction, they add. means
control but it does not mean
ownership.
The question may be aca-
demic, they concede, but it is
important to the sensitive Pan
amanians for the United States
to acknowledge they are SOW
ereign. without any modifying
adjectives.
Panama wants its flag to fly
in the zone and also on ships
tranSiting the canal.
While Mr.. Eisenhower ex-
pressed belief that it might be
well to have some visible evil
dence" of Panamanian SOW
ereignty, he did not specifically
commit the United States to
the proposition Of flying the
Panamanian flag.
A ThOrny Question
For the State and Defense
departments, the flag request
raises a thorny issue. Though
the Canal Zone is unique, a
decision to permit the Pana-
manian flag there would open
the question Of flying the flags
of other nations at American
installations around the world.
This in turn would raise other
complicated questions, such as
whether the other countries
could levy taxes against United
States citizens working at
these installations.
There can be no harm in
flying our flag, say, one day a
week in the Canal Zone" said

Eastern Team
Wins Gloves

CHICAGO. Mar. 26 (AP).-
New York won an unprece-
dented second straight inter-
city Golden Gloves team title
over Chicago last night, but
the individual spotlight was
turned on the Windy City's
CaSsiuS Clay.
Clay, a l7-year-old high
school student from Louisville,
KY. proved he was quite adj
vanced for his age as a sharp
Icounterpuncher in taking a
three-round decision over New
York's lightheavyweight, Tony
Madigan.
Madigan, 90, from Sydney,
Australia, is the Aussie and
British Empire amateur cham
Ipion and had lost only 5 of SO
bouts.
New York took the other two
televiSion bouts in piling up a
1916 triumph over Chicago's
team for its first victory in a
row since the intercity series
started in 1923. Chicago still
leads the rivalry. 1879, with 8
draws.
In other TV bouts, New
York's Angel Morales, 10. de-
feated Gil Yanez, Toledo High
School graduate. in the 112-
pound division. and the East
Ierner's Ossie Marcano, 21-year-
old shipping clerk, flashed too
much punching power for Don

driver, to win the welterweight
crown.
