Panama Canal Treaty Plebiscite Favored by Rank and File
Panamanians are expected to approve the canal treaties in a Sunday plebiscite by about 75 percent, amid a rare open debate under Brig. Gen. Omar Torrijos. Observers note the vote reflects shifts in public expression and U.S. base considerations, with 800,000 voters at around 3,000 polling stations casting yellow yes or white no ballots.
