Senators betray the American people editorial
An editorial condemns 68 United States senators for backing Panama Canal treaties, accusing President Carter and bankers of pressuring lawmakers. It portrays Torrijos as a dangerous dictator and suggests abrogating the treaties, retiring pro treaty senators, and launching a nationwide letter-writing campaign. The piece ties the decision to global banking interests and calls America’s stance cowardly and self serving.
