add to cart   close window

The nationalization of the Suez Canal by Egypt has aroused considerable enthusiasm in Panama. This country certainly knows as much as the next about international waterways and the foreign influences on domestic affairs which accompany them boos for U.S. diplomat secretary of state John Foster Dulles, and cheers for Egypt President Nasser. The nationalization of Suez, occurred at a moment when relations between Panama and the United States were deteriorating in another direction. Under a new treaty, Panamanian workers in the Canal Zone are going to lose their traditional privilege of buying food and clothing in the Panama Canal Company commissaries, which are run on a non-profit basis and are permitted to import goods without duty.
