The essay argues the Panama treaty faces critics led by Reagan and lawyer Herman Phleger who decry negotiations as duress. It weighs defense of the canal, costs, and the Panamanian transfer, urging a mature stance and cautious concessions while noting transit fairness and economic aid to displaced workers.
The remark accepts moral and historical security of the title to the Panama Canal but argues that understanding Panamanian resentment remains necessary. The quote highlights the tension between entitlement claims and local sentiment in Panama.
The author argues that past colonialism in Panama was more acceptable then than now, questions U S presence in the Panama Canal Zone, and urges a stance grounded in self confidence and restraint rather than Prideful intervention. The piece contrasts 1903 permissibility with 1977 norms and warns against anti historical demands from Panamanians.
