Sometimes those relations Are notably benevolent. The overwhelming majority of puerto Picans for example favor either Commonwealth status or statehood. A plebiscite in the Marianas in 1975 re suited in an overwhelming endorsement of association with the United states. But the Assumption that ill rational people everywhere and specifically the panamanians would Welcome Ameri can Rule if they were not misled by troublemakers is a presumption reminiscent of the 19th Century White Man s Bur it is not True and the Simi. Rarities to colonialism Are in creased when american author Ity is justified on grounds of strategic necessity economic in Terest and National Pride. All these arguments were available to the British and French in the Case of Suez. The Suez canal was and is of great importance to their com Merce their Energy Supply and their strategic posture in the world. Egypt had arbitrarily nationalized the waterway. In egyptian hands Britain and France believed Suez would be insecure. The egyptians would be incapable of operating it. Only europeans would have the training and skill to keep traffic flowing. The parallel with . Fears for the Panama canal is remarkable there is concern for its Security if . Forces an not stationed in the canal zone. There is a smug conviction that panamanians will be too inept or ill trained to keep it to operation. There is a Large in Ter mixture of National Pride. When it was the British and French who Feit this Way. Views were seen k an outdated colonial mentality an unjustified feeling of National or racial superiority.

The United states originally seized control of the zone by the device of setting up a Pup. Pet government and signing a treaty with it. It was a classic Case of a colonial land grab. What the United states paid for was the right to build and operate a canal in its Prosper Ous years the canal produced More than million of nue annually. The most the United states Ever shared with Panama was million a year. The people of Panama have Long resented the existence of a strip of extraterritorial real estate across the heart of their country. The special status of the americans there has been a lever or anti american agitation. The problem which the con Adora negotiators Are tackling is How to restore panamanian sovereignty in practice with out losing secure use of a a Erway which while less important to american defence and Commerce than it was so years ago is still a major set. This can be accomplished Only in agreement with Panama. Lacking an agreement the panamanians Are in a Posi Tion to sabotage operation of the canal and make life uni Able for the ionians. Opposition in the United states to a new treaty May strengthen the hands of Ameri an negotiators could t it that through iut it also hardens quasi colonial attitudes and could and to rejection of the treaty by the Senate which must ratify it. Rejection of an equitable. I treaty would be a disaster for everyone for those who de Pend on canal shipping for m o b i 1 i t y of the Amer car Navy for ionians and for forts of the Carter Tom to improve rotations with tace the ;
