jurisdiction over the Zone, we
need not have been as gene­
rous and forthcoming as 1
fear the text of the treaty will
show us to have been. For
example, why so much
compensation on top of the
tremendous physical plant
they get in the Canal
property and on top of the big
input to their economy
through our presence—some
$165 million a year....?
The angry roars of disap­
proval are not going to fade
away. Americans in all walks
of life can recognize grand-
standing press agentry of the
type the Carter Crowd is
conducting in an effort to sell
to the Senate a bill of goods
the people of this country
won't buy. There may be
enough suckers in the Senate
to go for this garbage. But
those who vote for this or any
other treaty with Panama are
guaranteeing their defeat
when they come up for re­
election.
Americans are not going to
sit still for amputation of a
part of the United States to
appease a mouse that roars.
The peanut bunted with
power, so the mouse came

TO THF FPIftJR
Editor, The Journal:
I do object to the over­
heated and somewhat dis­
torted way Carter and Com­
pany are marketing the
treaty.
First, they launch heir
campaign long before the
text is available, thereby
giving them a chance to
dominate the debate by their
explanation of objectives and
principles, minus discussion
of arrangements to attain
those objectives and apply
those principles.
Secondly, 1 cannot buy the
argument that the military
importance of the Canal has
diminished significantly be­
cause we now have a 'two-
ocean Navy* and because
large carriers and super­
tankers cannot go through it.
We don't have a ‘two-
ocean Navy' —what we have
is one Navy split between two
oceans. I am surprised that
even the Carter Crowd would
strain the truth this badly.
Moreover, those large car­
riers are few in number and
the need for the Canal for the
rest of the Navy in time of
war in both oceans is great
indeed.
You and I differ on the
wisdom of turning over the
Zone to Panamanian juris­
diction. I see this as the way
to defuse tension realisti­
cally, feeling that this is the
principal issue that inilames
Panamanian passions. Doing
so alters our outmoded
colonial stance for whatever
value that will bring in the
amorphous court of world
opinion.
