For God and Country by John F. McManus Belmont, Massachusetts Time magazine named Jimmy Carter Man of the Year for 1976. In the interview which accompanied the announcement, the new President was asked what he hoped to accomplish first after taking office. His very direct reply was: I think the Panama treaty ought to be resolved quite rapidly. A few weeks later, before his inauguration, the President met with fifty Congressional leaders for a conference on foreign policy. He announced that negotiations to complete a new canal treaty would be resumed immediately after he became President, and that the treaty could be expected by June. When some of the Congressmen cautioned that public opposition to such a treaty would have to be softened, Carter mentioned the possibility of a fireside chat to build support for the plan. What is planned, of course, is the turning over of the Panama Canal to the Marxist dictatorship which is now running Panama into the ground. A preliminary agreement to accomplish the transfer was signed by former Secretary of State Henry' Kissinger and Panamas Juan Tack on February 7, 1974. Negotiations to complete the transaction have been going on ever since, with our side being represented by Ellsworth Bunker, one of the pack of losers who arranged our defeat in Vietnam. Sovereign Territory No matter what President Carter or others want us to believe, the Panama Canal Zone is sovincluding the canal ereign territory of the United States. A reading of the 1903 Treaty with Panama makes this perfectly clear. So, too, does the 1907 Supreme Court Wilson u.

He makes no bones about hating the United States, loving Fidel Castro, surrounding himself with avowed Communists, and permitting neither free elections nor opposition of any kind. Officials of our own Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs have even named the Torrijos government as part of an international heroin smuggling ring aimed at the youth of the United States. Yet he is favored ot by Americas officials. The loser, should the canal end up in the hands of Torrijos, will be the United States. Seventy percent of the ships which use the canal either begin or end their voyages in our country. To believe that Torrijos and his pack of thugs would allow us to continue to use it is to strain credulity beyond reason. It would be easy for President Carter to announce suspension of canal negotiations. He has made it clear that he wants to hear from the American people. Heres a good opportunity for all of us to write what may be the first letter we have ever addressed to: The President, Washington, D.C. 20500. 1977 The Vaughn Ellsworth is a dynamic and fighting tax rebel.

Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to God that made us.
