THE PANAMA situation is
another sorry example of how a
policy of appeasement and con
cession leads only to more de
mands and further aggression.
The current dispute over the
Panama Canal treaty can be
traced back to 1960, when Presi-
dent Eisen
hower—by ex
ecutive order
and against
the wishes of
Con gr ess —
yielded to pres
sure and ord
ered the Pana
manian flag
flown in the American Canal
Zone.
I.ast year, there was more
agitation by Panamanian nation
alists, and further concessions
were made, allowing the flag to
be flown wherever the flag of
the United States did.
The stage was thus set. If the
United States had given in be
fore on our rights in the Canal
Zone, could we not be expected
to meet further demands, espe
cially if they are underscored
by mob violence?
* * ♦
LET U.S HOPE there will be
no more concessions and that the
United States will be firm in as
serting its legal and moral rights
to title, control and management
of the Panama Canal.
Our right to the Canal is just
as absolute and binding as our
right to any acquisition we have
made by treaty. Panama has no
more right to demand a renego
tiation of the Canal Treaty than
would France in insisting on
more money for land in the
Louisiana Purchase.
The United States acquired the :
site of the Canal more than 60 1
years ago and Panama agreed
to a treaty in 1903 which gave ’
us complete control “in perpetui
ty” over the Canal Zone. The
treaty stated that the Canal /
Zone was ours “to the entire

MANY BLESSINGS
NOW IT’S TIME TO GIVE SOMETHING BACK!
That's the way Arch Gary feels about it. He
doesn't really think in terms of public office. To
him, it's purely public service.
There was a time when he had no chance to
do anything like this. He was too busy raising a
family — driving a cab in the day time, going to
law school. But when he finally worked his way up
to the top, he figured it was time "to give some
thing back."
That's why he ran for Mayor of Riverdale.
With the help of his City Council, he wrote a su
perb record of civic achievement. That's one rea
son the American Municipal Association has in
vited him to Washington this Spring to discuss the

exclusion of the exercise by the
Republic of Panama of any
sovereign rights, power or au
thority.”
The Panama Canal, extremely
vital to the security of this hem
isphere and also to world com
merce, is the result of Ameri
can ingenuity, engineering and
capital. The United States, at a
cost of some S4OO million, took
on the task of building the Canal
in the face of seemingly insur
mountable obstacles. We suc
ceeded, where the French had
failed, and built the Canal and
have operated it successfully in
the best interests of the world.
Moreover, contrary to popular
opinion, the Canal is not profit
able to the United States. Tolls,
which are the same as origin
ally set in 1903, are designed
to promote international trade
and not make money, and we
have not yet redeemed all the
bonds for construction of the
facility.

THESE DEMANDS of Pan
ama upon the United States put
that small republic in the posi
tion of biting the hand which
feeds it. Panama now gets about
$1.9 million a year from the
U. S., and the Canal generates
the annual income of the coun
try in the amount of about SBS
million.
Also, Panamanian claims that
the treaty should be renego
tiated, are without any merit,
and any contention that the
Canal Zone belongs to them is
absurd.
We must not back down. If
we allow any infringement of
our rights in Panama, if we
bow to the coercion of Commu
nist-infiltrated mobs, the cause
of freedom in the Western Hem
isphere and throughout the
world will suffer.

GEORGIA HERITAGE—Perhaps the most striking example
of the extensive civilized progress made by some Cherokee In
dians is the Vann House, located at the junction of US 76 and
I Georgia 225 in Murray County between Dalton and Chats-
[ worth. Completed in 1804, the mansion was built by the wealthy
town-chief James Vann, of Scotch-Cherokee origin. A shrewd
and opportunistic business man, Vann maintained several com
mercial establishments in various parts of the Cherokee coun
try. Vann was killed in 1809 by revenge-seeking relatives of
John Falling, whom Vann had slain earlier. The Vann House
and much of his father’s other property was inherited by
Joseph Vann, who became known as “Rich Joe”. Joseph became
one of the legislative leaders in the new Cherokee republic. In
1958 the Vann House, repaired and restored by the Georgia
Historical Commission, was dedicated in impressive ceremonies
attended by Cherokee officials, 42 descendants of the Vann
family, and many others.

talking about.
Now he's a candidate for the Georgia House
of Representatives—a political area where he can
enlarge the scope of public service. It gives him a
chance to get more things done for the people in
the county he loves.
Arch Gary can do a lot for Clayton County.
He's got the ability. He's got the experience. He's
got wholehearted, dedicated desire.
Vote for him in the primaries April 4th. If you
looked ail over Georgia, you couldn't find a better
