The piece notes the four year wage bill pledges to raise the base to 2.65 in 1978 and to 3.35 by 1981, with 5 million workers gaining raises while about 1.98 million may lose jobs. It argues the plan widens inflation and federal costs, contrasting with Carter's budget aims.

Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings reveal split views on ratifying the Panama Canal treaties. Carter administration argues ratification boosts Latin American relations and canal security, while opponents warn of Soviet and Cuban gains and increased vulnerability if rejected. Supporters claim reduced canal value due to global shipping patterns and obsolescence, with implications for Western Hemisphere security.
Treat opponents argue 98 percent of Navy ships could pass the canal and a passage around Cape Horn would add 8000 miles and 25 to 30 days. Sen Strom Thurmond notes 14000 ships passed in 1975 with 8000 to or from the U S. Critics warn of violence risks and Cuban or Soviet influence if the pacts are ratified.
The piece argues favorable symbolism and Cold War rhetoric surround the Panama Canal treaties. It notes opposition rooted in democratic heritage fears and roiling debates that could threaten Senate support, with Teddy Roosevelt’s legacy a recurring turning point and timing seen as critical.
