PANAMA, Dec. 6.—Panama is the I
most independent nation, financially,
in the world, ft is the only nation
which receives interest on money it
has loaned instead of paying interest
on funds borrowed.
The country, vastly rich in re
sources of mines, fields and sea, has
come into its own—and all because
of the canal.
Panama has no bonded debt upon
which to pay interest. It has invested
In gilt-edge mortgages In the United
States $('*,000,000, bringing in an in
come yearly of about 4 1-2 per cent.
There is $300,000 on deposit to guar
antee the parity of its currency, and.
after this year, the United States will
pay a perpetual yearly rental of
$250,000 for the canal.
The income from taxation amounts
to about $5,000,000 yearly, and there
is no army, no navy, and no expen
sive courts to keep up. All money is
available for improvements, and Pan
ama is the only nation collecting in
terest on its own money instead of
paying out interest on loans.
Schools Are Numerous.
There is one school to every 1G5
children of school age in Panama, and I
nowhere in the country are there)
enough unemployed laborers to sup
ply the demand for workers, and the 1
large mining, agricultural and timber j
Interests are forced to import labor to
operate their plants.
The country is rich in gold and (
hardwoods. There Is a fine field for
agriculture and cattle raising. The
| United States has made the cities
| clean and healthy, and the interior
j of the country always was so. And
so, after hundred* of years of strife,
i Panama has come into its own.
Famed for Its Fish.
The waters of the Pacific' Ocean
at Panama abound in splendid fish,
I and there is a tradition that the name
, Panama was the old Indian word for | a
i "place of abundance of fishes." At
all events, after the execution of Bal
boa In 1519, the Spaniards began to
explore the Facile Coast and found
a small fishing village called Pan
ama, and on August 15, 1519. Gover
nor Pedrarlas announced that the
place would be the site of his future
capital, and established the first per
manent settlement in the New World.
Two years later a royal decree made
Panama a city, and it became the seat
of a bishop.
For 30 years expeditions were sent
out from Panama in search of gold,
and from here, in 1524, were started
the voyages of Plzarro and Almagro
which ended In the discovery of Peru
and the vast wealth of that country.!
On April 3, 1527. an expedition went
overland through the divide at Cule-
bra and sailed down the Chagres
River to the Atlantic, traversing ex
actly the same route which the ships
will take when the canal is finished.
Panama was far from being a quiet
place. Whenever the ships came In
from Peru laden with gold and jewels
there usually was a fight for some
part of it.
Pirates and contrabandists har
assed the isthmus, but the city of
Panama grew, and before 1550 the
place had some 3,000 inhabitants, with
about as many more in the outposts,
and a cathedral had been built.
Harried by Pirates.
This period saw the rise and de
cline of Panama. Spain’s own deca
dence played a great part In the fall,
as did the attacks of the English and
French on the trade of the Indies and
the inability of. Panama to develop
its own resources as the translsth-
mian trade decreased. But the pi
rates and buccaneers did more than
anything else to wreck the country.
Morgan and Drake and the others
burned the towns, killed the inhabl
iants, and stole the plunder which
bad been brought up from the south.
In 1671 the old city of Panama was
destroyed and a few' years later the
present city, a few miles away, was
founded in what was believed to be a
safer place. To shut out the pirates
and the enemies of Spain a sea wall
was built around the new town in
1674, and it w r as successful.
The King's Jest.
This wall, which is still standing,
cost so much money that the King of
Spain said that he did not under
stand why he could not see it by sim
ply looking to the west out of the
windows of his palace. Actually the
wall Is about 3(T feet high and of the
same width,
earth.
The milestone*! in Panama, after
the independence from Spain in 1821,
are the completion of the Panama
Railroad (1855) and the start of the
construction of the Panama Canal, in
1881. The first 70 years after the new
town was built were quiet ones,
marked by good government, but still
years in w'hich Panama was prostrate,
because of the abandonment of the
trade route. Then came 90 years ot
internal strife, and finally, on Novem
ber 28, 1821, came the declaration of
independence from Spain.
Panama was the last of the South
American colonies to declare inde
pendence. The social movement, in
Europe epitomized by the French
revolution, made headway on the
Isthmus slow ly. When the other col
onies were deserting Spain Panama
remained loyal, the loyalty being
based largely on incompetence. The
lack of ethic unity on the Isthmus, of
economic independence, distrust of
Bogota, with whom her revolutionary
destinies must be placed, and the
presence of strong garrisons, all had
an influence on that loyalty, and the
home Government in 1814 conferred
upon the Panamanian cities the title
of "Faithful.”
Colombia Rule Unhappy.
Until February 8, 1822, it was an
Independent State. Then it became
the Department of the Isthmus of the
new Republic of Colombia, and its
troubles, far from being over, contin
ued almost without check until 1903,
when the independence from Colom
bia was effected.
The period of Colombian rule was
one of strife, for w r hen Colombia
happened to furnish a capable and
kindly Governor, the Panamanians
themselves waged an internal row’.
In 1903 the United States attempt
ed to deal with Colombia in an effort
to build the Panama Canal. In the
fall of that year it became apparent
that the government at Bogota, the
capital of Colombia, would not ratify
the treaty allowing the United States
to construct the waterway. Then fol
lowed the bloodless revolution of No
vember, 1903, when, with the assist
ance of the United States. Panama
became Independent of Colombia.
Treaty Ends Trouble.
On February 26. 1904, Panama
signed a treaty with the United
States which practically ended its
troubles for all time, for then it be
came a protectorate of the United
States, which since then has assisted
largely in choosing its Presidents,
cleaned up it?? cities,‘and contracted
to pay It enough money to make it
the most independent country, finan
cially. in the world.

IE1 FIGHT
—
Campbell Urges Loans on Other
Than Cotton Crops—McCord
for Diversification.
Two timely proclamations concern
ing Georgia's means of combating an
impending agricultural disaster the
coming of the boll weevil—were an
nounced Saturday. One came from
Joseph A McCord, vice president of
the Third National Bank of Atlanta,
and the other from Phil Campbell,
State agent in charge of the Farmers’
uo-operative Demonstration \\ ork in
Georgia.
"How we have survived our com
mercial creed of the past is puzzling,
said Mr. McCord. "We must now-
change to a program of diversified
farming and the production of our
own food supplies. Else every retail
or bank credit will be a doubtful
quantity."
Mr. Campbell’s advice was specific.
He said:
"The key to the situation lies with
the merchant and banker, as well as
with the farmer. They must lend
money to farmers on other crops than
cotton; secure a competent farm
demonstrator for each county two or
three years in advance of the boll
weevil; establish markets in every
small town for grain, hay, live stock
and truck crops; refuse credit to
farmers not producing sufficient food
crops for farm consumption.”
Mayor Firm Against
Full Alarm Price
Mayor Woodward Saturday took a
firm stand that he would not con
sent to pay more than $8B,000 for
the new fire alarm system, the moral
obligation contract price for which is
$106,000. The Mayor claimed there
was not $106,000 value in the sys
tem.
There is no chance of any agree
ment before next year.
