Panama Canal Terms Proposed by Colombia for Isthmian Route
The protocol drafted by Colombia's Dr. Silva for secretary Hay outlines a 200 year lease of a five mile wide strip on each side of the canal route with renewal options. Annual rental to the United States would be about 750000 dollars while sovereignty over the strip remains with Colombia. The U S gains full police power, criminal and civil jurisdiction in the isthmus except Panama city which remains under Colombian control. Colombia would cede its Panama Railroad stock and interests, cancelling the 259 dollar annual rental and waiving the potential 1940 charter-based takeover.
