OPENING STATEMENT OF CHAIRMAN ALLEN

Senator Allen. The Subcommittee on Separation of Powers of the
Committee on the Judiciary is convened today for the purpose of re-
ceiving the testimony of Doris INIcClellan, clerk of the U.S. court for
the Panama Canal Zone, and of James C. Luitweiler, formerly Sec-
retary of the Joint United States-liepublic of Panama Land Com-
mission. The committee is convened for the further purpose of acting
on the staff draft of the report of the subcommittee on the Canal
Zone property disposal issue, the main focus of the committee's work
during the past 8 months.
As has been constantly emphasized for some time now during the
Canal Treaty debate, the Constitution does very plainly require that
Congress authorize any disposal of property belonging to the United
States. Specifically, article IV, section 3, clause 2, of the Constitution
* * *
states as follows "Congress shall have the power to dispose of
:
the territory or other property belonging to the United States."

The recpiirements of this constitutional provision do not have any-
thing whatsoever to do with whether or not the United States is sov-
ereign within the Canal Zone or even whether the Canal Zone is unin-
corporated territory of the United States as the Federal courts have
consistently held. The issue is simply whether the United States owns
property in Panama. If property is owned by the United States, then
no disposal of such property to Panama can occur without the expiêss
prior authorization of the Congress, including the House of Repre-
sentatives.
(1)
Earlier this morning one of the representatives of the radio net-
works asked me if this was a last ditch effort to defeat the Panama
Canal Treaties. I told the person no, that the committee has been in-
vestigating this point of constitutional law^ for the last 8 months. We
have the records of the hearings in three books and a committee report
as well.
I am glad that the anedia, at long last, is taking note of this im-
portant constitutional provision.
Not only has the Senate Subcommittee on the Separation of Powers
of the Judiciary Committee been going into this point, but also on the
House side one of those committees has been investigating this point.
It is happening not only in this Congress but happened in the last
Congress. So it is not a new issue. It is a most important issue as to
whether the House of Representatives will be allowed to participate in
and to vote on the disposition of property of the United States in
Panama.
The testimony which we will receive today and documentary evi-
dence which the subcommittee will examine should lay to rest forever
the idle and ill-informed recent assertions that the United States merely
rents its property in Panama. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Several able Senators in debate on the floor of the Senate, who
should have known better, have stated that the United States does not
own the property in the Panama Canal Zone but merely rents the prop-
erty. Well, we would like to disabuse them about that misconception of
the facts.
Not only is the Panama Canal Zone unincorporated territory of our
—
country, but additionally and this is sufficient to trigger the require-
—
ments of the Constitution the actual fee simple title to a major part
of the lands in the Canal Zone has directly vested in the United States
by purchase. That would be information to a number of Senators who
have participated in the debate on the floor of the U.S. Senate.
FEE SIMPLE TITLE TO ;5,598 TRACTS OF LAND
In other words, not only does the United States possess the Canal
Zone as owner of the territory, but additionally, the fee simple title to
the land itself has become public property as a result of our Govern-
ment's decision to buy up all private land holdings in the Canal Zone.
These pui-chases of private land rights occurred during the |)eriod
1905 through 1920, and by the date of the final report of the Joint
Land Commission on March 10, 1920, title to all former private land
holdings in the Panama Canal Zone had vested exclusively in the
United States.
In obtaining its title, the United States dealt with the owners of some
'3.598 tracts of land and did ultimately obtain full fee simple title
to all lands in the Canal Zone previously held by these Panamanians or
other private landowners. I might state that in the Treaty of 1903 this
land purchase commission was set up for the expressed purpose of al-
lowing the Ignited States to purchase the land in Panama in tJie
Canal Zone owned by private OAvners. These purchases were made at a
cost of at least $4,728,889 and possibly more.
Although the activities of the Joint Land Commission are obviously
a matter of record, the committee has nevertheless been greatly con-
cerned and, indeed, alanned that many otherwise responsible Govern-
ment officials seem to be under false impression that the United States
does not hold title to these lands in tlie zone. For that reason, the com-
mittee hopes that the testimony we are to receive today will establish
beyond a shadow of a doubt the fact that the United States does own
property in Panama and that Congress, therefore, must authorize any
transfer of these public lands to any foreign government or, indeed, to
any entity not part of the Government of the United States.
ORIGINAL DEEDS
In other words, the United States owns the fee simple title, and we
have three cartons containing the records and the original recorded
deeds to this property, I tliink this will lay the matter to rest.
This is public property belonging to all of the people of the United
States, and it cannot be legally given away except under authority of
the whole Congress representing all of the people of the United States.
It takes a statute enacted by both Houses of Congress. The Congress
and the people bought the land only the Congress and the people can
;
give it away.
HISTORICAL SPECULATION XOT NECESSARY
This principle of public property disposal is a matter of record, yet

there is a peculiar tendency of late to ignore the record and to ignore
the true facts of the history of the actions of tlie United States in
—
Panama. These revisionist historians both in and out of govern-
—
ment are handicapped by one significant fact. That fact is that many
of the people involved in this great national undertaking some 60 to 70
years past are still alive and possess memories unimpaired by the dream
world inhabited by many modern commentators.
Mr. J. C. Luitweiler has been, I am confident, bemused and possibly
annoyed by current accounts of the nature of the United States' ac-
tivities in Panama during the early days of the construction and opera-
tion of the canal. Mr, Luitweiler went to Panama as a young man in
February 1913, 65 years ago. He set sail witli Dr. Eowe and Dr. Faulk-
ner, both of whom had been appointed by President Wilson as Ameri-
can Commissioners on the Joint Land Commission. The two Pana-
manian Commissioners appointed by the President of Panama met
Mr. Luitweiler and the two American Commissioners on their arrival
in Panama, and the Joint Commission soon thereafter began its work
in purchasing private lands in the zone.
This does not seem like a reluctant Panama helping to purchase this
property. It seems they gave their full permission and certainly they
ratified in every possible way the bona fides of the 1903 treaty.
The particular Commission on which ]Mr. Luitweiler served was one
of several Commissions appointed during the period 1905 through
1920. but the work of this particular Land Commission was exception-
ally significant inasmuch as it was carrying out the instructions
of
President Wilson that all remaining private lands in the zone should
be acquired by the United States. Mr. Luitweiler has a wealth of infor-
mation for the committee, and we are indeed fortuiuite to have his tes-
timony, both for the immediate purpose of setting the record straight
and for the larger purpose of preservinof for history Mr. Luitweiler's
experiences in Panama with Colonel Goethals, now "General ;" Colonel
Gorgas, now "General;" and the other great Americans who saw
this
great national adventure in

Panama through to a successful
conclusion.
GREAT ALABAMIAN
General Gorgas was a great Alabamian who was able to eliminate

the yellow fever there. Without his contribution I feel that the canal
would never have been built. That was one of the factors involved in
the French failure to build a canal several decades before that.
The committee is also deeply honored to have an opportunity to re-
ceive the testimony of Doris McClellan, who is clerk of the U.S.
district court in the Canal Zone but who is also the daughter of
Senator John McClellan, who is greatly missed by the Senate and the
countiT and who was to me a friend and a guiding example. We will
hear from Miss McClellan, I am sure, that she is and has been cus-
todian of the records of the land purchases by the United States in
Panama and that under her safekeeping and custody these deeds
and other records have been preserved and they are here this morning
for the observance of the subcommittee and as a matter of record, in
order to show without doubt the ownership by the United States of the
property in the Panama Canal Zone by actual purchase.
Miss McClellan is here to authenticate documents sent to the sub-
committee by order of the U.S. district court. These documents are
present in the sealed chests before us. The committee is advised that
these documents do establish the title of the United States to the real
property in the Canal Zone which was purchased by the actions of the
Joint Land Commission on which Mr. Luitweiler served. Very likely,
many of the documents upon which Mr. Luitweiler himself worked
some 65 years ago are here in these chests.
At the direction of the court, the subcommittee will open the chests
and examine the records. As clerk of the court. Miss McClellan will
certify the authenticity of the documents, and a representative
sample will be received in the form of authenticated copies for in-
clusion in the record of this proceeding.
I might also suggest that a portion of these deeds be inserted in
the Congressional Record as typical of the deeds of which there are
several thousand that are in possession of the court showing owner-
ship by the ITnited States of land in the Canal Zone.
Thereafter the documents will be returned to the custody of the
administrator of the U.S. court, and they have been in his custody
under the direction of Miss McClellan, and inasmuch as they have now
been microtilmed, I understand they will eventually be retired to the
National Archives and the microfilm itself will bear witness to the
title of the United States. For that reason the committee also has
present a microfilm reader-printer so that again a representative
sample of the microfilm record can be secured by the committee, au-
thenticated by Miss McClellan, and included in the record of these
proceedings.
We are delighted to have you. Miss McClellan and Mr. Luitweiler,
to appear before our connnittee to give us the benefit of your knowl-
edge as to the acquisition by the United States of property in the
Panama Canal Zone.
Miss McClellan, we are delighted to have you here. I miffht ask
that you state your name and your present position with the U.S.
Government.
TESTIMONY OF DORIS McCLELLAN, CLERK OF THE U.S. DISTRICT

COURT FOR THE PANAMA CANAL ZONE
Miss McClfxlax. I am Doris L. McClellan. I am clerk of the U.S.
district court for theCanal Zone.
Senator Allen. We see on the table before us three large wooden
chests. I wish you would explain to the committee just what these
chests are and what is in the chests, and then we will actually remove
the contents in a moment.
Tell us. if you will, how they came to be here in the U.S. Senate
subcommittee hearing.
Miss JNIcClellan. The chests that you see here in front of you today
hold the original records of the U.S. district court where the United
States purchased the land from Panama, beginning with the year 1903.
These three crates go up through 1914. There are many more boxes
similar to these, but these were the very first three and these were the
very first records.
Senator Allen. When did you send these original records up here
to Washington? Why did you do that?
Miss McClellan. Because there were so many problems with the
two countries down there, and you never know from day to day
whether there is going to be a riot or what is going to happen. My
court is right on the border and my i-ecords were not being properly
cared for. I thought these records Avould be valuable someday to some-
one who would want to prove that we did buy the land. So I put a
microfilm unit in my office and I started microfilming all of my rec-
ords. That was in 1975 when I started.
These crates, including the ones you see here, I decided they were so
important that I did not want them to go to the Xational Archives in
Suitland, Md., where the rest of our records are. I decided that I
would ask the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts if I could let the
crates sta}^ there. With the hearings coming up and everything, I
wondered if maybe some of the members of the subcommittee might
want to see them to get proof that we actually bought the land.
Senator Allen. TIow long have you been clerk of tlie district court?
Miss McClellan. I was appointed clerk in 1971, but I served 2
yeai-s as
deputy clerk prior to that.
Senator Allen. As clerk of the district court for the Panama
Canal Zone was it a part of your duties and responsibilities to have
custody of the original documents relating to the purchase by the
United States of land in what is now the Panama Canal Zone?
Miss McClellan. That is correct. I acquired those records when I
became clerk of the court. Then it was my job to take care of them.
Senator Allen. Has there been any acquisition of property by the
United States during your term of office as clerk?
Miss McClellan. No, sir.
Senator Allen. All of this was closed out many years ago?
Miss McClellan. Yes.
Senator Allen. Where were the records kept there in the court in
Panama ?
Miss McClellan. They were not in my court per se but they were in
the building: about six blocks from where my court is. It was a build-
ing with a tin roof on it where the air could get into it. I just felt that
that was not a proper place to keep them.
In the meantime, I leased a building called a chalet on a military
base for safe keeping of my records. I transferred all of my records
from the wooden building with the tin roof up to that other place.
They now are in the chalet.
However, most of my records with the exception of certain critical
records from 1903 up to 1965 are now in Suitland, Md., in the Archives.
They are stored out there. These three boxes have been microfilmed
and will eventually go out to the Archives.
Senator Allen. Do you think this is a complete set of the deeds?
Miss McClellax. Oh, yes, it is, sir.
You are welcome to open them and look at them, hold them in your
hand, or whatever you would like to do.
Senator Allen. You felt througli your method of storage of the
documents, that they were not getting proper care from the standpoint
of the elements and possible damage to the documents themselves. Is
that right?
Miss McClellan. That is correct.
Senator Allen. For that reason, plus the fact that you figured for
their safety from other points of view, you felt it well in 1975 to send
the documents up here to the Administrative Office of the United States
Courts. Is that right ?
Miss McClellan. That is right.
Senator Allen. They have been there subject to your order, how-
ever. Is that correct ?

Senator Allen. Now, I think it might be well at this time if we
would ask the officers, if they would, to come aroimd and help us get
these documents. We will ask you to take all the documents out of one
of the boxes. We will then see if we want to go ahead with the other
boxes as well.
Are there steel boxes under the Avooden frames ?
Miss McClellan. No: they are wrapped in plastic.
Senator Allen. What is the approximate size of these three chests ?
Miss McClellan. Sir, I could not really tell you that.
[Police officers open up crates.]
Senator Allen. If you would, officer, take them out and put them in
front of the boxes.
[Material removed from crates in form of large leather-bound
books.]
Senator Allen. All of these have been microfilmed. Over here on the
microfilm machine each one of the deeds has been recorded?
Miss McClellan. Yes, sir. Those are our official records now, that
is, the microfilm, because these other books are so old.
Senator Allen. I wonder if we might see some of the microfihn
prints.
[Senator examines books and microfilm.]
Senator Allen. What we have here on microfilm tape is a perma-
nent record of the original deed, as I understand it.
[Senators examine microfilm.]
[One book opened from under plastic cover and examined by
Senators.]
Senator Allen. I see it is recorded in English and Spanish.
Senator Allen. Do you know how many deeds are contained here ?
Miss McClellan. No, sir, I have not researched that.
Senator Allen. Contained here is the record of all the deeds shoAv-
ing purchase by the United States.
I see that these show purchases from private owners in Panama in
the Canal Zone. I see that in some instances they may have bought
and paid for them several times.
This was quite a job to put all this on microfilm, wasn't it ?
Miss McClellan. Yes, it was.
Senator Allen. This will then preserve the original record for
posterity. Is that right ?
Miss McClellan. Yes.

Senator Allen. Where is the original record ?
Miss McClellan. It is in the Administrative Office of the Courts.
Senator Allen. It was our purpose, as I understand it, under the
direction of President Wilson to purchase all of the private property
there.
Miss McClellan. I have a list of all the names of the people con-
nected with these transactions.
Senator Allen, I did not bring the original copy of this but this is
the list of persons and what I would call the final report for you
[indicating].
Senator Allen. Thank you.
You will be able to leave that with us ?
Miss McClellan. Yes, that will be fine.
Senator Allen. This has listed here on several dozen pages the
amount claimed and the amount paid. There are literally hundreds of
these. You actually give the names of the Panamanians who own
property ? Is that correct ?
Miss McClei-lan. Yes.
Senator Allen. I am glad to have this for the record.
[General discussion held anions the members of the media, the
Senators, Mr. Luitweiler, Ms. McClellan, and the audience.]
Senator Allen. We have asked Mr. Luitweiler to come to the wit-
ness table also.
The distinguished Senator from North Carolina, Mr. Helms, who is
the Senator from Mr. Luitweiler's home State, is here to present Mr.
Luitweiler.
Senator Helms, please proceed.
STATEMENT OF HON. JESSE HELMS, A U.S. SENATOR FROM THE

STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA
Senator Helms. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
First of all, I want to commend you on your opening statement. As
has been the case throughout the decision and debate on the treaties,
the debate has certainly been capably led by the Senator from Ala-
bama. He has supplied an immense amount of commonsense to the
debate.
I have often thought, Mr. Chairman, that the Lord gave both the
United States and me a good constitution. It is up to us not to abuse
them. I am often fearful of the abuse of the U.S. Constitution.
8
In connection with your comment about the disposition of U.S.

property, I believe the record should show that more than half of the
—
Members of the House of Representatives 231 Members in fact have —
cosponsored a House resolution expressin^: the conviction that Con-
gress, both the House and the Senate, must act on the disposal of the
Canal Zone. This clearly is a warnino^ to the Senate it may even be
;
a red flag that, if the House of Representatives is ignored in tliis mat-

ter, then the House of Representatives may indeed find it difficult to
facilitate the implementating legislation which will be required
by
the treaties if the Senate should make the mistake of approving them.
Xow, as to this distinguished citizen from our State, Mr. Chairman,
over the last year or so, ^Members of the Senate have been called upon
to do a tremendous amount of reading and research to familiarize our-
selves with the historical and technical data that we need at our finger-
tips in order to participate in the great debate on the Canal Treaties.
I do not know one Senator who has not been sent back to the history
books by this tumultuous issue; and judging from the people I talk
to, it has prompted many other Americans to do the same. I myself
have had the good fortune to talk to many experts in the maintenance
and defense of the canal. Not too many months ago I went to the Canal
Zone to talk to the people who live there and to many Panamanian
citizens.
So I have had a rather thorough education in the matters affecting
the canal. I am glad I have had it.
But one of the greatest contributors to my education, I might say,
has been a series of letters I have received from an extraordinary gen-
tleman who is with us this morning, Mr. J. C. Luitweiler. ]\Ir. Luit-
weiler first wrote to me after seeing a "Meet the Press" broadcast on
the Canal Treaties, in which I was participating.
Since that time, I think it is only fair to attribute a great deal of
what I know about the history of the Panama Canal to a "correspond-
ence course'' with Mr. J. C. Luitweiler, of Tryon, N.C.
Disturbed by what he was hearing about our acquisition of the Canal
Zone, Mr. Luitweiler took to his typewriter to set the record straight.
I believe the testimony here today will demonstrate that no one could
be more qualified to do so than he.
Mr. Luitweiler, now 88 years of age, is what the historians would
refer to as a "primary source." To put it bluntly, that means he knows
what he is talking about because he served as the secretary of the Joint
Land Commission by means of which property owners in the Canal
Zone were compensated.
Mr. Chairman, he was appointed to this post by two American and
two Panamanian members of the Commission, and it is he who signed
the many orders of payments for the claims presented by the property
owners, many of whom did not hold titles in the Anglo-Saxon mean-
ing of the term.
Mr. Luitweiler can singlehandedly refute the rather sophomoric al-
legations of those in the Senate and elsewhere who continue to claim
that we somehow "stole" the Canal Zone. Mr. Luitweiler can refute
this with incontestable facts.
He can speak about such people as Colonel Goethals and William
Crawford Gorgas from personal reminiscence. He was on the scene
9
when the Canal Zone was transformed from a pestilential swamp to

the greatest manmade Avaterway in the world.
It is my pleasure to present my fellow North Carolinian, Mr.
Luitweiler.
Senator Allen. Thank you, Senator Helms. We
greatly appreciate
that fine introduction.
Mr. Luitweiler, I think for the benefit of the committee and the rec-
ord you might explain just what your connection was, and what years
you had that connection, regarding the purchase for the United States
of America of land comprised of the Panama Canal Zone.
TESTIMONY OF JAMES C. LUITWEILER, SECRETARY OF THE JOINT

UNITED STATES-REPUBLIC OF PANAMA LAND COMMISSION
Mr. Luitweiler. If you look at a copy of the treaty which was sent
to me,you will find article VI and article XV on which the Joint Com-
mission operated.
Senator Allen. Yes, I have both right here.
Mr. Luitweiler. You will find in article VI that the Commission
was appointed of two Panamanians and two Americans who would
evaluate whatever property was taken for the construction, the main-
tenance, the operation, the sanitation, or the defense of the canal.
At the end of 1913, Colonel Gorgas, for reasons best known to him,
decided that the whole Canal Zone was necessary for that purpose,
not just a piece of it but all of it. So he asked President Wilson to de-
clare that the United States would expropriate the entire Canal Zone
and everything on it for the benefit of the United States.
He sent down two Commissioners, Dr. Rowe and Dr. Faulkner. I
went along as a secretary. On the way down I was told that I was too
young for the job but if I would grow a mustache I might be ap-
pointed Secretary of the Commission. That is why I have the mustache
liere today. That is a 65-year-old mustache. It is worth $100 a month
to me.
Senator Allen. To put a little age on you so that you could qualifv^
for the higher position?
Mr. Luitweiler. I was 23 then and I looked like a kid. With a
mustache I looked 10 years older.
Senator Allen. It is not necessary no^^ to establish your age to have
the mustache, is it?
Mr. LuiTAVEiLER. If I shaved it off, I would not look any younger.
[Laughter.]
Senator Allen. I see.
Mr. Luitweiler. Anyhow, we got down to Panama and we met two
Panamanians, Dr. Boyd and Dr. Lewis. They spoke Spanish and
English. Our Commissioners and I spoke English and Spanish also.
Within 24 hours it was agreed that I should serve as the Secretary to
the Joint Commission.
I think another thing happened that is good for the record.
Senator Alt,en. This is what year?
Mr. LuiTwÊiLER. 1913.
General Gorgas had beautiful quarters set up for us on the Canal
Zone. He said, 'T want the Commission under mv thumb." He said
that to other people, too.
10
The Americans said that they would have to confer with Panama-
nians about that. Wewent to Panama, and the President of Panama
showed us the palace. He said we could use it for the meetings if Ave
liked. It Avas beautiful, like a judge's chambers.
AMERICANS AVEI.COME
So he treated us handsomely. He Avanted to do everv'thing he could

to make us welcome because the President of Panama Avas all for tak-
ing over the Canal Zone bv the United States
and for paying for the
property that Avas OAvned there.
Senator Alt-en. Had the canal opened at that time?
Mr. Luitaveiler. Xo, not until the end of 1914. This Avas preparation
for the openng of the canal.
After that constitution of the Commission, they appeared in public
session. Judge Faye, General Counsel for the Panamanian Canal Com-
mission, testified before the Commission that in his opinion all the
thousands of Panamanians, Xegroes from the Caribbean Islands, and
so on doing Avork on the canal Avere there as squatters. They had no
title. American law said you had to be 20 years or 80 years before
you can acquire title to land that you sfiuatted on.

That matter became the subject of discussion at the first meeting of
the Joint Commission in the judge's chambers. I sat in there about a
month. The Panamanians brought in a lot to demonstrate the civil
laAv. They said these Avere the laAvs that applied. They said that people
Avere squatting on the land and they said that these people Avere entitled
to be treated under Panamanian laAv.
Senator Ali.ex. You Avent by the civil laAv of Panama in paying
compensation for the land, did you not ?
Mr. LuiTWEiLER. The civil law of Panama provided that anybody
AA'ho squattered on land even for 24 hours, if he Avas kicked off, he Avas
entitled to be paid for his improA'ements.
Senator Aixen. You respected that laAv in making your acquisition?
Mr. LuiTAVEiLER. This is an aside. There Avas quite an argument
which Avent on regarding this subject. Dr. RoAve said, "If Ave accept Dr.
FaA'e's principle and kick all these people out Avithout paying a cent, Ave
Avill have a black
eye."
Senator Allen. You didn't folloAv that ?
Mr. LriTAVEiLER. We didn't. We decided on the contrarA% which fol-
loAA-ed the Panamanians' idea of the
Spanish laAv applying.
Since there Avere tens of thousands of pieces of claims, the Commis-
sion decided it could not hear eaHi and everv individual claiuu Instead
of that, they set up a yardstick. There Avould be so much. $50, for
CAêry
hut Avhich was planted Avith banana trees; there AA'ould be $.50 for a
man and his Avife; if he had children, there Avould be $50 for CAêry
child.
DOUBLE PAYMENT FOR PANAMANIANS
Senator Ali,en. When you ascertained hoAv much the Panamanians

in possession of the to, vou doubled that, did
property Avere entitled
you not?
Mr. LuTTAVKTLER. That is right. If a man Avas a Panamanian citizen,
it Avas doubled.
11
Dr. Howe and Dr. Faulkner had the view that these people were
being kicked out of their land. They said, "If we follow Judge Fare's
principle, this would be a black eye."'
You remember when the English kicked the French out of Canada,
they had that situation. They did not want that on our conscience.
They wanted the Panamanians to be satisfied.
When it was published in the newspaper that the award was going to
—
be on the Spanish law and they actually set out the way it was to be
—
done the Panamanian citizens and the government and everybody
acclaimed it. The only people who objected was General Gorgas be-
cause he thought it was going to add to the cost of the canal. Paying
these individual claimants would probably cost $150,000 or $200',000.
This was a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of the canal.
Senator Allex. You paid not only for the land, but you paid for
the improvements that you found on the land. Is that right?
Mr. LuiTWEiLER. Yes. In addition, we paid for consideration of the
fact they had been evicted from their homes.
Senator Ali-ex. The Commission was charged with the duty and the
responsibilitv of buying all the land in the Panama Canal Zone. Is
'
tliat right?
Mr. LcTTAXTiTLER. That is right.
Senator Aleen. They made a good faith effort to do that. Is that
right?
AWARDS PAID WITHTX 24 HOURS
Mr. Luitwetler. Yes; and it could be said to Colonel Gorgas' credit
tliatnone of the awards that were paid were turned down. Thev were
paid within 24 hours. So the U.S. Government did its part in paying
religiously every claim if the award was made.
Senator Allex. Did the Commission in your judgment buy all of
the property in the Panama Canal Zone for the United States of
America ? Did the Commission purchase from private owners all of the
land in the Panama Canal Zone for the United States of America ?
Mr. LuiTWEiLER. As far as I know, they did because at the end
Senator Allex. The Commission was open for anyone to come in to
present a claim for property. Is that right ?
Mr. LuiTWEiLER. Yes. Unfortunately, I had a bad case of malaria at
Ihe end of 1914 and I was an invalid.
Dr. Rowe and Dr. P'aulkner were replaced by two other American
Commissioners. That Avent on for a couple of years.
Senator Allex. By the way, this was rather a strange Commission.
You had two Panamanians and two Americans. That is not usually
tlie case.If they could not agree, I believe the tAvo governments would
apix)int a referee or an umpire.
Mr. LuiTAVEiLER. Ycs, an umpire.
Senator Allex. That's an unusual Commission.
Were there many instances of having to get an umpire or did the
Panamanian Commissioners and the American Commissioners gen-
erally see eye to eye?
Mr. LuiTWEiLER. They agreed pretty well while I was there. But
when they were replaced by two more Commissioners, the fat was in
the fire. They didn't agree at all.
Senator Allex. Then they had to appoint an umpire?
12
Mr. Luitavt:iler. Yes. He happened to be a Spanish general or ad-

miral who had been wounded in the Spanish-American War. Obvious-
ly you can figure what happened to the claims. Panama got a very good
deal.
Senator Allen. Did the Commission have maps of the Panama
Canal Zone, land mass ? Did you have maps to go by ?
Mr. LuiTWETLER. You have to picture the Canal Zone I saw in those
days. It was 500 square miles of land. There were a few squattere here
and there. After the Commission had gotten itself settled down, they
made manv excursions throughout the Canal Zone taking testimony
of individuals. They would take individual testimony. They would
move to another place and so on. They scattered all over.
CAXAL ZONE A SWAMP
They did not plot out a piece of land on a map. It was not plotted
that way. The Canal Zone was almost a swamp when Gorgas came
there.
Senator Allen. The Government of Panama by the appointment of
these Commissioners, acting under the treaty, seemed anxious to have
the United States buy this property, were they not?
Mr. LuiTWEiLER. If you go back to the original treaty
Senator Allen. I am not talking about the treaty. I know what the
treaty says. At the time you were working down there, did not the
Panamanian Government seem anxious to cooperate with the United
States in buying this property ?
Mr. LuiTWEiLER. Yes, but we did not buy anything from the Pana-
manian Government.
Senator Allen. Yes: I know that, but from the private owners.
They encouraged the landowners to sell, did they not ?
Mr. LuiTWEiLER. They were delighted. Their claims were far in ex-
cess of what the Panamanians even thought was correct. INIany of the
claims that we heard in our session said that the Panamanians them-
selves said it was ridiculous.
For instance, there was a big cocoa plantation where they raised
cocoa. It had been there for 10 years. They wanted to be paid for what
the cocoa plant would be worth in the next 20 years. The Commission
turned that down.
But the big thing was, from my point of view, the individual Pana-
manian landowner. I cannot remember any dissent at all by an indi-
vidual landowner.
TREMENDOUS INCREASE IN LAND VALUES

Senator Allen. I know there is an interesting phrase in the 1903
Treaty that the payment for the land or damages would be based upon
a valuation before the signing of the treaty. That indicates in our
—
mind and I would like for you to verify this or say it is not correct —
that the coming of the canal greatly increased land values in Panama.
Is that not right ?
Mr. LuiTWEiLER. I don't think the American Commissioners paid
attention to that clause.
Senator Allen. I understand that, but is that not a fact that this
coming of the canal raised land values?
13
Mr. LuiTWEiLER. Yes tremendously.

;
Senator Allen. It was not a disservice then to the Panamanians.

Mr. LuiTWEiLER. That was a yardstick for the vahiation of the land.
Senator Ajllen. Let me ask you this. I have never had the pleasure
of meeting you before this morning, Mr. Luitweiler. I have not sought
to prompt you in any way.
Did the Commission buy any land which was the route of the canal
itself? Did you purchase land
Mr. Luitweiler. No. The Commission had nothing to do as to where
the United States took the land from Panama for the canal. The
Commission had nothing to do with that. If you road article XV you
will see that their idea was to pay for the property owners whose land
was taken in damage. That's what they did. There never was the
United States and Panama before the Commission as a court.
Senator Allen. The route of the canal was filled up with the water.
Was it full at the time you went to the Canal Zone ? Had the water
filled up that area where the Canal Zone was? Some of it was still
without water right ?
;
Mr. Luitweiler. I was there at the opening of the canal.

Senator Allen. But when you first got there was the canal in being;
whether it was open or not ?
Mr. Luitweiler. The canal was in being; yes. I think in August
1914,it opened.
Senator Allen. Then what the particular Commission on which you
served did was to buy the land from the bank of the canal outright.
Is that right?
Mr. Luitweiler. That is right.
Senator Allen. The other Commissions established before the par-
ticular commission on which you served may presumably have bought
out private land holders along the route of the canal but your Com-
mission did not buy the land where the canal actually went because
the canal was already there and in any event that was covered by the
1908 treaty. Is that right?
INIr. LuIT^vEILER. That is right.
If you read the 1903 treaty, you will find 5 miles on either side of
the canal was granted to the United States. They did not have to buy
that land from Panama because they paid $10 million for that land
at that time and $250,000 a year.
I know a lot of people contend that we do not own the land because
we were a leaseholder. But if you buy a leasehold in perpetuity, I do
not see any difference.
Senator Allen. Miss McClellan, I would like for the record to show
this. I would like for you to identify several representative deeds and
certify such records. Also, I would like for you to identify the corre-
sponding portion of the microfilm which has been develop for the com-
mittee's records. You don't have to do it now but when we recess we
would like for you to do it.
Without objection, the representative copies of the deed records and
representative copies of the corresponding microfilm developed will
be inserted in the record at this point.
I ask also that we put into the record representative sheets from the
joint report. It would be so voluminous, so we will not include that,
but ask that there be representative sheets picked out for filing in the
14
committee report and to state the exact number of claimants and

sellers of property for the record. However, the matter has been
called into question and, therefore, perhaps the entire report should
go into the record so that the issue will not again be raised in error.
Senator Helms, would you like to ask a couple of questions'^
Senator Helms. Thank you very much. I would like to ask two or
three, Mr, Chairman.
Mr. Luitweiler, what you have said here is that the United States
had the sovereign right to exercise eminent domain and that sovereign
rightcame down from the 1903 Treaty. Is that right ?
Mr. Luitweiler. Yes. That was not disputed at all. The Pana-
manians and Americans recognized -that wê had sovereign rights to
the Canal Zone, rights as if we o^vned the canal.
Senator Helms. There was no dispute about it?
Mr. Luitweiler. No dispute whatsoever about that.
Senator Helms. Did any property owner claim he had been under-
paid for his property ?
Mr. Luitweiler. No. Everybody, including the press, acknowledged
that everybody was being overpaid.
Senator Hekms. So the newspaper records of that day will show
that not only were the property owners satisfied, they were delighted
with what they were paid ?
Mr. Luitweiler. I think if you get the Panama Star and Herald
of that day you will find that they were laudatory toward the work
of the Commission.
Senator Helms. As a man who was on the scene and participating
in these events in the early part of the century, what do you say now
to those in the Senate and elsewhere who claim that the United States
stole this property ?
Mr. LuIT^vEILER. Do you want to get me stirred up? [Laughter.]

I really want to have at least 15 minutes to tell what I think.
[Laughter.]
I think Teddy Roosevelt did a wonderful job in getting the
canal land from Panama and not creating a problem with Panama,
but in getting Colonel Gorgas down to the Canal Zone and making the
Canal Zone a fit place for Americans to work and live.
What worries me most about the present situation is that —
Mr. Torrijos, of course, has entertained people in the daytime, but
Gorgas made the Canal Zone a healthy zone, probably the most
healthy place in the tropics for Americans to live and work.
Senator Helms. For evervbody to live and work, Panamanians as
well as others. Is that correct?
REASON FOR "lUXURy"" LIVING
Mr. LuIT^vEILER. That is what the Panamanians claim. Right across

the border they lived in squalor while Americans lived in luxury.
That was all because JNIr. Gorgas decreed that evei*y American down
there should live in a screened-in barracks. Every American who lived
in a home wnth his family should live in a screened-in home with a
well-kept lawn.
Of course, you know mosquitoes breed in mudholes and he was
against that.
15
You have to live in the tropics for many years to realize what it
is and to be subject to the things that the tropics have. You
to be there
don't experience that up here.
I lived in Yucatan for 5 years before I went down to Panama. That
wâs another jungle. I know what it is to live in a jungle and ride
horseback through the jungle and have Indians cut your way through
the jungle.
Some of the Commissionere wênt out in the jungle to take testimony.
AVe had a group of a half a dozen Indians with machetes chopping
our way thi'ough the jungle. "We don't have any jungle in the United
States to compare with the jungle in a tropical country.
A
Of course, in Panama it is w-oree than ever. jungle will creep back
and take over within a month or two.
One of the things I am very fearful of is that when the treaty is
passed, within 2 months the boundaries between the Canal Zone and
Panama will come down and the Panamanians will move in there.
The Panamanians are not so fearful as we are of malaria because
to Panamanians malaria is what a common cold is to us. They get a
chill and fever and that is it. To us it can kill us.
In my opinions, as soon as the border between the zone and Panama
comes down, the jungle will creep back in and the American tech-
nicians who are still responsible for the Canal Zone will leave the
Canal Zone. I do not give that canal more than 2 years of life once
the Canal Zone is turned over to Panama.
Senator Allen. Thank you.
Miss jNIcClellan, these records here are the records of the purchases
of the United States from the Panamanians who had property in
the Canal Zone. Is that right?
^fiss ^NIcClellax. That is right.
Land Commission the final
Senator Allex. Is the final report of the
report of all the purchases or is that the last report following a series
of monthly reports?
Miss McCleli^\x. That is the last report.
Senator Allex. Is that cumulative or not? Does it just represent
the last purchases or does it represent all the purchases?
Miss McClellax. I thought it represented all the purchases.
Senator Allex'. In other words, it would he cumulative?
^Nliss McClellax. That is right.
Senator Allex". I will ask permission that the chairman, if he sees
fit, may order the full final report inserted in the record, or else, as I
suggested earlier, may order the staff director to get representative

pages for inclusion in the record. I would like to have authority to
insert the whole report in the record since it is so important together
Avith representative deeds and perhaps the Boundarv Convention of
1914.
Is there objection to the chairman's taking that action?
[Xo response.]
Senator Allex. Hearing no objection, it is so ordered.
]Miss McClellan and ]Mr. Luitweiler. I Avant to express my personal
appreciation and the appreciation of Senator Hatch and Senator
Helms for what we consider a trreat public sei'A'ice that both of you
have rendered in bringing this information before the committee and
the full Senate as well as before the Nation. It will help to settle the
16
dust on this question of whether or not the United States owns the
land in the Panama Canal Zone. I think it has been established, with-
out doubt, that the United States does own this land.
The United States is the grantee in these deeds, is it not?
Miss :McClellax. That is right.
Senator Allex. So I think we are now faced with the constitutional
issue of whether the administration will allow the House of Repre-
sentatives to act on the transfer of this property as required by article
IV, section 53, paragraph 2, of the Constitution.
It is clear to me and I believe it is clear to the majority of the meni-
bers of the subcommittee that prior Congressional authorizations is
required.
I do not believe we are going to have too many statements made in
the future that the United States was just renting this land in the
Canal Zone. I think it has been established without doubt that the
United States, by right of purchase and by right of deed, owns the fee
simple title to the land in the Canal Zone.
So we do express our deep appreciation to both of you for the public
service that you have rendered.
Senator Hatch, do you have any questions ?
Senator Hatch. I also would like to thank you both for the testi-
mony that you have given. I think it is very important for every
American to understand the situation. You have helped us very much.
Senator Aelex. "We want to thank you both again very much. You
have the thanks of the subcommittee and the full committee.
I will take the liberty of saying that you have the thanks of the
Nation for appearing here today.
The subcommittee is adjourned subject to the call of the Chair.
[Whereupon, at 11 :?>0 a.m., the subcommittee was adjourned.]
[The aforementioned final report, Provisional Boundary Agree-
ment, and representative copies of the deed records follow :]
[Also included hereafter is a statl' report to the Chairman and a
historical sununary of the propriety oi)erations of the United States
in the Canal Zone. The historical summary was prepared by the
Panama (ânal (ômpany and is useful in the context of the investiga-
tion by the Subcommittee primarily in describing in histoiical terms
the several agencies of the United States which acquired realty for
the United States at each of the various stages of the eventual pur-
chase by the United States of fee simple title to the Panama Canal
Zone.]

completed the cases pending before it, has the honor to
submit the following report: "^- '- r:

The provisions of the treaty under which the Com-
mission was organized read as follows:
-j: "Article VI. The grants herein contained shall in no manner
invalidate the titles or rights of private land holders or owners

of private property in the said zone or in or to any of the lands
or waters granted to the United States by the provisions of any
Article of this treaty, nor shall they interfere with the rights of
way over the public roads passing through the said zone or over
any of the said lands or waters unless said rights of way or private
rights shall conflict with rights herein granted to the United States
in which case the rights of the United States shall be superior.
All damages caused to the owners of private lands or private
property of any kind by reason of the grants contained in this
treaty or by reason of the operations of the United States, its
agentsor employees or by reason of the construction, maintenance,
operation, sanitation and protection of the said Canal or of the
works of sanitation and protection herein provided for, shall be

:
Since 1912 the scope of the work of the Commission

has been largely determined by an Act of Congress of
.. the United States, approved August 24, 1912, known
'
as the Panama Canal Act, which so far as it relates to
.
matters under consideration provides as follows;
;
^; "The Presidentis authorized to declare by Executive Order that
ail land and land under water within the limits of the Canal Zone
is necessary" for the construction, maintenance, .operation, sani-
tation, or protection of the Panama Canal, and to extinguish,

by agreement when advisable, all claims and titles of adverse
claimants and occupants. Upon failure to secure by agreement
;
.title to any such parcel of land or land under water the adverse
claim or occupancy shall be disposed of and title thereto secured
in the United States and compensation therefor fixed and paid
in the manner provided in the aforesaid treaty with the Republic
of Panama, or such modification of such treaty as may hereafter
be made." ,;
. . , /
'
.In accordance with the authority contained in the

above-quoted provision the President of the United
States issued an Executive Order under date of Decem-
ber 5, 1912, declaring "That all land and land under
water within the limits of the Canal Zone are necessary
for the construction, maintenance, operation, protection
and sanitation of the Panama Canal." The same order
21
directed the Chairman of. the Isthmian Canal Commis-

sion "to take possession oh behalf of the United States,
'
of all such land and land under water." . ."
, ,.The Congress oi the United States has also passed two

ipther Acts which the American members of the Com-
..mission have considered, affected the work of the Com-
'
^miasion. Section 2 of the Sundry Civil Appropriation

•f Section 2 of the Sundry; Civil Appropnatioa Act,

approved Jiilyl, 1916, reads as follows: /;: r: '\
"Sec. 2. That'the Joint Land Commission established under

article fifteen of the treaty between the United States and the
Republic of Panama, proclaimed February twenty-sixth, nine-
teen hundred and four, shall not have jurisdiction to adjudicate
or settle any claim originating under any lease or contract for
occupancy heretofore or hereafter made by the Panama Railroad
Company of land or property owned by said Panama Railroad
Company in the Canal Zone, and no part of the moneys appropri-
ated by this or any other Act shall be used to pay such claims."
So many different commissions have been organized
under the treaty that it seems desirable for the benefit
of both Governments to incorporate in this import a
brief historical statement giving the names of the various
commissioners and. the work accomplished by them.
Gn January 31, 1905, a Commission consisting of
Dr: Carlos A.' Cooke, and the- Hon. Federico Boyd of
Panama, and Messrs. Thomas T. Gaff and C. A. L.
Reed of the United States were appointed to fix the
value of four pieces of property taken over by the
United States. By an award dated February 21, 1905.
Domingo Diaz was allowed $41,790 for the property of
Santa Rosa and Juan Vasquez. A valuation was also
placed on the three other pieces of property without any
hearing havirg been given, and later payment appears
to have been made to Mrs. M. A. E. Delhonde, for her
property of El Hatillo de Echeves, in the amount fixed
in the award, viz: $3,050.
22
V On May 26, 1905, a Commission of the same Pana-

manian members, with Dr. H. R. Carter and Paymaster
Eugene C.Tobey acting for the United States, was
organized to give a hearing in and make final awards for
the three pieces of property appraised in the award of
February 21, 1915: 'On May 27, 1905, an award was
made in two of the claims, one for $9,000 in favor of
Abundio Caselli and Francisco Alfredo Pellas, for the
property "EJ TivoH," and the other for $1,768 in favor
of the Municipality of Panama for "La Hutrta del
Peinetero.'' Theother claim, that of Mrs. Delhonde,
was not considered as settlement had been made.
On April 10, 1907, a Commission of which the Pana-
manian members were the Hon. Ramon Arias F. and
Dr. Samuel Lewis, and the American members Messrs.
B. S. Ambler and Montgomery Blair, with Dr. Gil
:^
Ponce as a substitute to act in cases in which Commis-

sioner Arias was disqualified, met in the Administra-
tion Building in the City of Panama. On April 11 both
Messrs. Arias and Ponce resigned, and on April 18
the Hon. Constantino Arosemena was appointed as the
other Panamanian member of the Commission. On
May 11, 1907, two awards were made by this Commis-
sion in favor of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company,
one for $20,000 for the improvements on the island
of Naos and the other for $24,000 for a one-half interest
in the same island.
Seveji other claims were considered by this Commis-
sion but no agreement was reached as to the amounts
to be paid. Three of these claims were settled in 1908
by the Umpire, the Hon. Edwin Denby, who w'as ap-
pointed to consider them. Award for $45,000 was
made by the Umpire to Francis Schuber for the estate
of Juan Diez Caballero at Corozal, for $15,000 to Maria
Concepcion Sosa for the property of Gavilaii and
Gavilancito, and $1,000 to Gabriel Duque for San
Lazaro. rÔ'-r- ,
On June 8, 1908, the Commission of which Messrs.

Edwin Denby and Everett C. Bumpus were the Ameri-
can members, and Dr. Gil Ponce J., and Dr. Julio
J. Fabrega, the Panamanian members, met in Panama.
On August S. 1908, by unanimous decision of this
23
Commission an award was made for 13 pieces of prop-

erty, in the sum of $143,980. Alist of the cases for
which awards were made is included herein so that this
report will contain a list of all claims considered by the

Joint Commission up to the present time. r-'"^ .'

On March 1, 1913, the next Commission, consisting

of Doctors Leo. S. Rowe and Roland P. Falkner for the
United States, and the Honorable Federico Boyd and
Dr. Samuel Lewis representing the Republic of Panama,
met in Panama to consider the many cases that had
arisen through the order to depopulate the Canal Zone.
During the latter part of September Doctor Rowe re-
signed and shortly thereafter Doctor Falkner also re-
signed. This Commission submitted an interim report
under date of September 23, 1913, in which were outlined
some of the principles they had followed in deciding
cases. Published with this report were a number of de-
cisions that were rendered. The report shows that 1,253
cases were disposed of. Six hundred and two cases were
dismissed, 22 cases were certified to the Umpire, while
629 awards for a total of $295,709.18 were made. The
total of the claims disposed of amounted to$2, 226, 718. 53.
The next Commission met in Ancon on May 25,
1914. It consisted of Hon. Levy M, Kagy and Hon.
David Marks, representing the United States and the
same Panamanian Commissioners who acted with
Doctors Rowe and Falkner, their services having been
kept continuous. Judge iVIarks, dying on July 17, 1914,
little was accomplished. One hundred and three claims
for $175,605.60 were disposed of; 98 of them being

tion of Judge Kagy November 29, 1915. Five awards
for a total of $1,707.5,0 were made, covering 7 claims
for $24,620. Fifty-six claims for $59,757.60 were

With the arrival of the Hon. Clement L. Bouve in
April, 1916, who was appointed to succeed Judge Kagy.
the Commission again began to actively dispose ol
claims pending before it. Prior to July, 1917, when the
two American Commissioners, Judges Cornet and Bouve,
severed their connection with the Commission, 1,250
claims for 84.145,593. 17 were disposed of. One thousand
25
gne hundred and fifty-two claims for $2,765,531.31

were dismissed; 14 claims were certified to the Umpire,
while awards for $181,675.30 covering 98 claims asking
for SI, 380, 061. 86 \yere made.
•^vOn November 27, 1917, the Commission reorganized
with Hon. Federico Boyd and Dr. R. J. Alfaro repre-
senting the Panamanian Government and Hon. Geo.
A. Connolly and Burt New representing the United
States. On November 12, 1918, Doctor Alfaro was
succeeded by Dr. Julio J. Fabrega, continuing, however,
to act in all cases in which Conmiissioner Fabrega
.
was interested as an attorney. The Commission with

Doctor Alfaro disposed of 96 claims for 86,100,316.28;
47 claims for. $953,548. 25 were dismissed, 14 claims for
$2,884,876.26 wer6 certified to the Umpire and awards
for a total of $220,952.80 were made in 25 claims asking
for $2,261,891.77. The Commission with Judge Fabrega
as a member disposed of 53 claims for $1,937,956.04
prior to January 31, 1920. Of these 3-7 claims for
$458,014.60 were dismissed, 8 claims for $1,431,677.80
were certified to the Umpire and awards for a total of
$12,609.38 were made covering 8 claims asking for
$48,263.64.
In November, 1919, Commissioners Alfaro, Jorge
A. Boyd, Connolly, and New made one award for
$2,100.20 including interest amounting to $620.67
from December, 1912, and the same Commission
with Doctor Fabrega in place of Doctor Alfaro dis-
missed one claim for $50,000 and certified one for
$3,600 to the Umpire.
Judge Connolly resigned at the end of January, 1920.
Mr. H. A. A. Smith succeeded him on February 2.
Commissioners Boyd, Fabrega, New, and Smith dis-
missed 4 claims for $239,574 for failure to prosecute,
18 claims asking for $45,841.65 because settlement had
been made, and agreed to leave on the docket without
consideration for the reasons hereinafter stated, 16
claims for 8121,779 known as Panama Railroad lease
cases. The disposition of one other claim (the Playa
de F^lor claim for $357,040) is explained hereinafter in
detail.

Commissioners, Boyd, Alfaro, New, and Smith dis-

agreed in their conclusion relative to the liability of the
United States in the the last case tried by the Commis-
sion and certified the claim asking for $20,816.67 to the
Umpire for decision. In addition to the work specified
above, almost every Commission has taken action in
other claims due" to the number of claimants or the
questions involved.
Admiral Victor M. Concas y Palau was appointed
Umpire in 1916 to decide cases in which the Commis-
•sion disagreed. From June to August, 1916 he made 10
awards for $216,800 in claims for $839,224.03, and dis-
missed four claims tor $8,240. He also decided two
questions certified to him by the Commission as to the
liability of the United States arising out of the can-
cellation of Isthmian Canal Commission leases under
certain specific conditions.
Hon. Manuel Walls y Merino was appointed Umpire
to succeedAdmiral Concas. He has made 17 awards
for $468,667.47 including interest incorporated in the
awards, amounting to $26,972.57, in 20 claims asking for
$4,453,184.65. He dismissed two claims for $177,500
and "refrained from deciding" one claim for $100,000.

To summarize briefly: Since March 1, 1913, claims

numbered 1 to 3,598 for $20,660,371.19 have been filed
with the Commission. In 879 claims asjcinf^ tor Sll,-
502,943.66, 213 awards, for 81,568,581.49 have been
made. In addition awards for $304,588 were made by
prior Commissions, making a total amount awarded
of $1,873,169.49. Two thousand twenty-nine claims
for $3,719,930.95 were dismissed on evidence that
direct settlement had been made. Claims for S3, 263,-
063.13 were dismissed for other reasons, such as lack
of jurisdiction, lack of evidence, or because of duplica-
tion,, or on claimant's motion. The disposition of 17
claims for vS478,819 is explained in detail hereinafter,
while 12 claims for $1,075,352.17 are pending before the
Umpire. Of 319 claims for $620,262.28 dismi.ssed on
account of failure to prosecute same in accordance with
the default rule adopted by instructions of the two
Governments, certain ones seem to require some
explanation.
On the dav that the claims of Jose H. Stilson. docket
Nos. 3062 (amount v$40,300) and 3281 (amount 897,620)
were set for trial, Mr. C. P. Fairman, appearing as
counsel for Air. Stilson, stated in public session before
the Commission that he and his client declined to fur-
ther prosecute these claims before the Commission.
On the same day he filed a document which he entitled
"Protest, Notice, and Demand on behalf of the Owner
of Real Property" in which document he notified the
Commission of his refusal to submit the condemnation
of the property involved in these claims or the value
thereof to the jurisdiction of the Commission, and
requested that the Commission desist and refrain
from further action or proceedings respecting the con-
demnation and appraisal of the lands covered by these
two claims. By unanimous vote of the members of the
Commission a rule of default was entered against Mr.
Stilson and inasmuch as claimant failed to appear and
show good and sufficient cause for setting aside the
default within the 60-day period in the rule, the default
was made al^solute and the claims dismissed.
By agreement of counsel on both sides the claims of
the Playa de Flor Land and Development Company,
29
13
docket No. 2900, ($357,040) and of Eufracia C. de

Villalobos, e/ a/, docket No. 3064 (§89,154) wereconsoli-
dated. When they were called for trial on November 17,
1919, Mr. ;C. P. Fairman representing claimants in
both cases, made a similar statement to that mentioned
above and filed a similar document. Rule, of default
in both claims was accordingly entered against both
claimants. At the expiration of the 60-day period
fixed in the rule, the period of default in the Villalobos
claim was extended to February 24, to which date an
extension had been granted in the Rlaya de Flor claim.
However,^ on February 25, 1920, there having been
no appearance on the part of claimants in the Villalobos
claim nor any showing made by them, this case was
dismissed by unanimous vote of the Commission.
On November 17, 1919, when the Playa de Flor
Land and Development Company claim for $357,040
(docket No. 2900) came on for trial, the attorney of
record, Mr. C. Fairman, stated to the Commission
P.
in public session, and also in a written document, that
he refused to submit the case to the jurisdiction of the
Commission. The American members of the Commis-
sion voted to dismiss the case at once, but inasmuch
as the Panamanian members declined to dismiss the
claim, a rule of default was entered against claimants.
At the expiration of the 60-day period fixed in the rule,
with the consent of the two Governments, an extension
of the period was granted to February 24.
Just before the close of business on February 24, the
following motion was filed by Dr. Samuel Lewis:
Come now Perry-Popham, one of the parties at interest in the
above-entitled claim and respectfully move the Commission to
continue the hearing of this case or of any matters connected
therewith and set it for hearing on the 15th of March, 1920, on
which date the said petitioner together with counsel will appear
before the Commission for the purpose of said hearing.
The undersigned hereby represents to the Honorable Commis-
sion that the above-named claimants have not, for reasons
beyond their control, been in a position to appear personally
before the Commission and present their case, which they are
ready and willing to do on the 15th of March, 1920, as the under-
signed has been informed and believes.
30
14
The Panamanian members of the Commission voted

to grant the motion upon the showing made stating
their reasons therefor as follows:
1.. Claimants have shown sufficient cause for not
. .
appearing on
the day set for the trial of this claim.
,2. The attorney for the claimants without their knowledge
refused to submit the case to the jurisdiction of the Commission.
:' .3. In spite of their having no notice of the conduct of their
attorney claimants have made every possible effort to obtain a

hearing before the Commission.
/ 4. Claimants have presented a motion through Attorney Samuel
Lewis, within the time fixed, requesting the Commission to set
aside the default entered against them.
The American members of the Commission voted to

deny the motion and also voted against further extend-
ing the period of default for the following reasons:
1. Said motion does not ask that the default be set aside.
2. There is no claimant in said claim by the name of Perry-
Popham as mentioned in the motion.

3. The reason assigned as to why claimants have failed to ap-
pear and prosecute said claim merely states a conclusion and does
not state facts sufficient to show cause for setting aside the default.
4. The motion does not show that the default was entered
through any mistake, surprise, inadvertence or excusable neglect
on the part of claimants.
5. The motion does not state any fact or facts showing a good
and sufficient cause for setting aside the default.
6. The facts in the case affirmatively show that all the claim-
ants were given legal notice of the date the claim was set for trial
and given every opportunity to come before the Commission and
present their case, but they failed, neglected, and absolutely
refused to prosecute their claim.
On February 26 Mr. Lewis filed another motion

requesting that all matters and interest relating to the
Playa de Flor Land and Development Company case
be left in suspense until the Umpire of the Joint Com-
mission passed upon the issues by reason of the fact
that the members of the Commission "are equally
divided in conclusion." He further represented that
"he did not apply for the setting aside of the default
but simply made a motion to continue the hearing of any
matters connected with the above-entitled case until
the 15th of March, 1920." The American members
voted to deny this motion while the Panamanian
members voted to grant the request.
31
15'
The position of the Panamanian members as shown

by the minutes, is as follows:
"The Panamanian members in refusing to adopt the proposition

made by Commissioner New that the provisional rule of default
be not set aside, proposed to have the Commission set aside the
said provisional rule of default and to set the claim for public
hearing on March 15, as requested by the claimants.
"On this point, therefore, the American members and the
Panamanian members are not in accord, and consequently, this
is a matter, as in preceding matters, in accordance with Article
XV of the Canal tl-eaty which passes to the Umpire for decision;
therefore, the Panamanian members move that the said motion
presented on the 28th of February by Dr. Samuel Lewis on behalf
of the claimants, be determined by the Umpire."
The positio^n of the American members upon this last

motion, as shown by the minutes, is as follows:
"On the 25th day of February the Panamanian members voted
to set aside the default upon the showing made, and the American
members voted that the default should not be set aside; the
default, therefore, became absolute.
"On February 26, S. Lewis, attorney for "Perry and Popham"
two of said claimants^ filed the motion now under consideration.
The motion alleged that the motion filed on February 24, 1920,
was not intended as, nor was it. a motion to set aside the default
but that it was merely a motion to continue the hearing of this'
case or of any matters connected therewith.
"Said motion further alleged that on accoiuit of the Members of
the Commission being equally divided in the vote on said motion
that the question of the continuance of the trial of the claim, and
all matters connected therewith, be certified to the Honorable
Umpire for decision.

"There was no allegation in this motion assigning any reason
why claimants had failed, neglected, and refused to file a motion
or show cause on or before February 24, 1920, for the setting aside
the default.
"On account of claimants having failed, neglected, and refused
to appear on or before February 24, 1920, and show good and
sufficient cause for setting aside the default, the American mem-
bers voted that said default be not set aside. The American
members voted that the default period should not be further
extended for the reason that ample opportunity had time and
again been given claimants to appear before the Commission
on
or before February 24, 1920, and show cause for setting aside the
default. They also refused to vote for a further extension of the
default period for the reason that the Secretary of State of the
United States had not given his consent to extend the default
period beyond February 24, 1920. They also refused to extend
the default period for the reason that the Commission has for
32
16
the past five months made every possible effort to bring this
claim to trial. During said time many of the claimants have
absolutely refused, and still refuse, to tn.- said claim while the
other claimants have failed, neglected, and purposely delayed
the trial thereof. There is no showing nor attempt to show,
diligence on the part of claimants. The facts in this case disclosed
by the record, show that claimants have, for some reason unknown
to us, thrown every obstacle they could in the way of the trial of
this claim, and by so doing have delayed the work of the Com-
mission which has prevented the Commission from closing its
business at an earlier date."
The only cases remaining on the docket are sixteen

claims, generally known as the Panama Railroad leab'e
claims. The authority of the Commission to consider
these claims was the subject, in the opinion of the
American members of the Commission, of two Acts
of Congress, hereinbefore quoted. The American
members have always taken the position that they were
precluded by these two Acts from considering these
claims, which arose out of the cancellation by the
Panama Railroad Company of leases for land made
by that company within the Canal Zone. The following
is a list of the.se claims:

Except for rather extended periods during which one

or more Commissioners were lacking and except for four
recess periods of 60 dîys each during the years 1916,
1917, 1918, and 1919, a Commission has been in session

With the enlargement of the work of the Commission

due to clearing the Canal Zone of all private property
owners, it became necessary for the Commission to
adopt definite rules of proceclure so that its work might
be carried to conclusion. As the treaty was silent on the
subject, the two Governm.ents have at times given
consideration to the methods that should be followed
by the Commission to enable it to accomplish the pur-
poses of its formation, and certain instructions have
been issued by the Governments concerned, which were
thereupon adopted by the Commission for its guidance.
The various rules and instructions are in.cluded in
Aj-ipendix A, attached hereto.
35
19
'All awards^, opinions, and rules of dismissal have been

published in The Panama Canal Record and thus are
readily available.
. Attached to this report is a list of all the claims filed
with the Commission since March 1, 1913, prepared by
the Secretary thereof, Miss Genella Bliss, and her
assistant, Mr. John J. Dudak, showing ths docket
number of each claim, the amount claimed, the amount
awarded if an award was made and the cause of dis-
missal if the claim was dismissed as well as the ini-
tials of the Commissioners or the name of the Umpire
acting on the claim. This statement is designated
as Appendix B.
All documents, records, transcripts, the complete files
in claims numbered from 1 to 3598, inclusive, and all
other property of the Commission, except the records
and files in the claims pending before the Umpire which
will be left in the office for his use, will be turned over
by. the secretary of the Commission to the American
Minister to Panama, just as soon as the secretary
completes the check she is making of the statement to be
attached to this report.
In closing this report we wish to thank the officials
of the Republic of Panama for granting the use of the
commodious offices in the National Palace.

APPENDIX A.
Joint Commission Rules of Procedure for Filing of Claims and

Conduct of Hearings, etc., 1913 to .1920:
Adopted March 18, 1913.
I. All persons having title or claim to, or interest in lands, or lands under
water, situated in any part of the Canal Zone, except in the exempted area, or
who have suffered damages of any kind by reason of the grants contained iii
the Treaty, or by reason of the operations of the United States, its agents or
employees, or by reason of the construction, maintenance, operation, sanita-
tion, or protection of the said Canal, shall file with the Joint Land Conmiission,
a statement of the entire extent of their property rights and interests. Such
statement should include the name, residence, and post-office address of the
claimant, the amount of the claim, the location and extent of the property,
indicated wherever practicable by maps or drawings, the uses to which such
property is put and a description of the improvements which have been made
thereon, and should be accompanied by a statement of the title and rights
of the claimant thereto, supfXJrted by all existing documentary proofs of title.
Statements referring to claims of ownership to land or land under water,
together with accompanying documents should be filed in four copies, but
of the legal documents submitted as proofs, one copy only need be attested.
All other claims presented to the Commission should be filed in at least two
copies. All claims should be submitted on a form supplied by the Com-
mission. Such statements of claim and all other forms required by the Com-
mission can be obtained on and after March 14, 1913. from the secretary 6f the
Commission, at the se\'eral police stations in the Canal /one, or at the office
of the secretary of the municipal council of the City of Panama.
II. The statements above described to be presented by all claimants to pri-
vate property, should be filed with the secretary of the Joint Land Commis-
sion, National Palace, Panama, with as little delay as possible. Claimants
to land located in the area between Gatnn and Gamboa should file their
statements not later than March 31, 1913, and claimants to land located in the
remainder of the Canal Zone should file their statements not later than April
15, 1913.
III. Failure on the part of claimants to file the required statement will not
preclude the Joint Land Commission from acting upon all cases properly com-
ing before it, without the cooperation of the persons most directly interested.
IV". -After an examination of the pa^>ers filed with the Joint I^tnd Com-
mission, an opportunity will be given to all claimants to present further evi-
dence in public hearings. The Joint Land Commission reserves the right to
call upon claimants for further information and for documents supplementary
to those filed with the original statement.
V. The Commission will begin hearings upon claims which arc ready for
adjudication, relating to any lands, in the district between Gamboa and
Gatun, excepting townsitcs, on Monday, March 17, 1913,' in the Assembly
Hall, National Palace. Panama. Due notice of further hearings will be given
from time to time.
VI. Proceedings before the Commission may be instituted by the claimant
in person, or through his or her attorney in fact or agent. If the claimant is
represented by an attorney in fact or agent, a written declaration designating
the person to represent the claimant must be filed with the secretary of tht
21
38
11
Joint Land Commission. Claimants presenting such a declaration in person

should sign the same in the presence of the secretary. In aise sucli declarations
are not presented in person, the signature of the claimant should be attested in
the Republic of Panama, by a municipal official, or in the Canal Zone by the
agent in charge of any police station. Forms for the designation of attorneys
or agents can be obtained from the secretary' of the Commission, and within
the Canal Zone at the several police stations, and at the office of the secretary
of the municipal council of the City of Panama.
VII. All documents required by the Commission, as well as proceedings
before the Commission, may be in either Spanish or English.
Vm. With reference to the admissinility of evidence, the Commission will
follow the procedure of a commission of inquir>' rather than the technical
rules of evidence.
IX. If the claimant be an executor, administrator, guardian, or repre-
sentative appointed by a judicial tribunal, a duly authenticated copy of the
record of the appointment must be filed with the secretary of the Commission.
X. The Commission reserves the right to require that motions submitted
~
be put in writing. _

The Joint Land Commission will not take jurisdiction of claims arising from
leases or licenses of the Isthmian Canal Commission or the Panama Railroad
Company, which leases or licenses provide for the taking over of such proper-
ties for Canal or railroiul purposes U(X)n notice to tenant or licensee; this
being a matter of agreement between the parties antl governed by local law.
In case of disputes between private land owners as to the limits of their

l>roperty, the Com'mission will, in a pro|X'r case, make a separate award for
the disputed territory, depositing the amount of such award with a court of
comjx'tent jurisdiction and leaving to such trif)unal the adjudication of the
rights of the se\cral claimants. The Commission will, however, undertake to
.determine questions of title as Vjetween the United States and private owners.
If, in the course of the adjudication of a claim, an adverse
claimant to title
appear, the Conunission will deposit any award that may be made for such land
with a court of competent jurisdiction, and leave the adjudication of the rights
of adverse claimants to such tribunal. If, however, a lessee of private property
present an adverse claim for the value of improvements, the Commission will
make award to the holder of title for the value of the land and a separate award
for the value of improvements. The latter will be deposited with a court of
competent jurisdiction, where the respective claims of lessor and lessee will be
adjudicated.
In determining the value of lands taken by the United States,thc Commis-

sion must Ix' governed by the terms of Article \'I, which provides:
"The appraisal of said private lands and private property and the assess-
ment of damages to them shall be based upon their value before the date pf
this convention."
In the application of the Treaty, the Commission will follow the principles
>)i the Commission of 1908, which are stated in their report to have been the
following:
40
24
"To hear all evidence presented bearing upon the fair value of the prop_-rty
to be expropriated by the United States, and upon damages thereto; to con-
sider especially, as elements of such valuation, the extent and character of
the property affected, its location, for what it is adapted or could be adapted
within a reasonable time; as well as to take into account other pertinent
considerations and, in determining the basis upon which damages are to be
assessed, to eliminate from consideration the effect which the building of
the Canal may have had upon the value of such estates."
"
Adopted June 3, 1913. /

The Commission takes judicial notice of all official records of the Govern-
ment United States and of the Government of Panama pertaining to the
of the
inquiries conducted by the Commission. The Commission will at all times
receive any papers or documents submitted by claimants or counsel
relating
to or tending to controvert the content of such official records.
Adopted June 3, 1913.
In the matter of claims of corporations, it is the purpose of the Commis-

sion to make the award to such corporations, allowing persons who have an
interest or who own equities therein, to assert such interest or equities before
a court of competent jurisdiction.
Where the existence of a release is pleaded in bar of a claim, the Commission

will of its own motion make an examination of the releases filed in the office
of theExaminer of Accounts and Disbursing Officer, and of such official records
the Commission will take judicial notice. Where a verbal agreement of settle-
ment is pleaded the claim will remain f>efore the Commission until the Com-
mission receive official notice that payment has been made by the Govern-
ment in settlement of such claim.
Settlers or occupiers on public lands in the Canal Zone, who went upon such
lands prior to the Treaty of 1903 are entitled to compensation, and the fact
that such persons subsequently accepted licenses from the Government of
the United States does not extinguish the rights which accrued prior to the
treaty.
Adopted July 28, 1913.
In view of the provision of the treaty that "all the decisions by a majority
of theCommission or by the Umpire shall be final" the Commission is without
power to receive any protests against its awards.
- When a case is set for

hearing, and the claimant or the Government, or
defendant is not ready for trial at the time the case is set for hearing, the claim-
ant or the Government or their respective attorneys desiring that the cause
be continued or reset, shall file an affidavit in writing stating the reasons why
such party is not ready for trial, and, if the affidavit is found sufficient by the
Commission, then the case shall be taken off the setting and shall be put on the
call docket, to be called at the pleasure of the Commission after all the other
cases have been disposed of. The affidavit shall contain these words: "Thij
affidavit is made in good faith and not for the purpose of delay, but that justice
mav be done."

Staff Report Regarding Property Records in the Custody of the
United States District Court for the District of the Canal
Zone
introduction
At
the request of Chairman Allen, this report -svas prepared by the
staffof the Subcommittee on Separation of Powers with the advice
and assistance of James Senj^, records management officer of the Ad-
ministrative Office of the United States Courts. This report is in-
tended to clarify the record-keeping system which was in effect in the
Canal Zone during the time that the United States purchased the fee
simple interest in the lands which comprise the Zone. The records
Avhich compose this land record system are presently under the care
and subject to the direction of their legal custodian, Miss Doris L.
McClellan, who— as Clerk of the Court, United States District Court
—
for the District of the Canal Zone is the successor in function to
the Clerk of the Court, First Judicial Circuit of the Canal Zone in
whose care and custody the records were originally placed. ^liss Mc-
Clellan obtained temporary storage space for the records of the Dis-
trict Court at the offices of the Administrator of the United States
Courts at 1811 Vermont Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. The loca-
tion of the records in Washington where they are easily accessible
to the Congress is advantageous in the event any further question
should arise concerning the fee simple interest of the ITnited States in
the lands comprising the Zone.
Record-Keeping System
components
The United States District Court for the District of the Canal Zone
is the successor in function to the Judicial Circuits of the Canal Zone.
The Clerk of Court, First Judicial Circuit of the Canal Zone, was
designated "the Registrar of Property of the Canal Zone" and re-
^
quired to maintain an official record copy of all deeds affecting im-

movable property within the Canal Zone. The form and substance of
this record system was extremely detailed and required the mainte-
nance of several indexes to serve for cross referencing purposes.-
These individual components of the system could be maintained only
by a single office because the svstem reouired manual enti'ies in diJF-
ferent volumes which bore record to different sequences of informa-
tion.^

The present Panama Canal Company is the successor in function to

the Land Office of the Canal Zone. The Land Agent in charge of the
Land Office Avas designated as the custodian of the original deeds to
lands purchased by the United States in the Canal Zone.^ The Land
Agent also assumed custody over the land records of the Panama
Railroad Company inasmuch as that company and its assets also
became the property of the United States.^ The Land Agent super-
vised United States lands in the Zone to prevent unauthorized intru-
sions and assisted the head of the Department of Law of the Panama
Canal Company in all matters related to the investigation of land
claims and land titles. The Land Agent also had responsibility for in-
suring that deeds vesting a fee simple interest in the United States
and related property transactions were all properly recorded at the
L^nited States District Court for the Panama Canal Zone or, more —
properly, at its predecessor in function, the First Judicial Circuit of
the Canal Zone.
PROCESS
The method of executing and recording deeds was set forth as a

judicially oriented function by Executive Order No. 8 which provided,
in Article 17 :
A copy of any instrument duly recorded under the provi-

sions of this orderand certified to by the Registrar in charge
of the record, may be used in evidence in any judicial pro-
ceedings in like manner and effect as might be done with the
original if produced . . .
Thus, each conveyance of immovable property (i.e. reality and fix-

tures) was required to be done only by written instrument acknoAvl-
edged by the grantor before a judicial officer authorized to issue certifi-
cates of acknowledgment, whicli certificates also verified that the
official record copy of the particular conveyance instrument had been
properly and duly filed with the Registrar of Court.*^

In the early stages of the United States land purchases in the Canal
Zone, the filing stage of the process required a scribe in the Registrar's
officeto transcribe manually in handwriting the entire text of each
instrument validly executed.'' Later, the transcription was typewritten
on pages which were ultimately bound in hardback, leather-bound
volumes. The Registrar also made a line entry in a separate docket
book to insure the integrity of the record system.^ This stage of the
filing process was completed by the issuance of the certificate of
acknowledgment which was attached to the original instrument re-
tained by the grantee as proof of title. Thus, presumably, the only
remaining private land owner in the Panama Canal Zone, the Sojourn-
ers Lodge of the Ancient Free and Accepted ]Masons, has in hand a
deed from the Panama Railroad Company (owned by the United
States) granting fee simple title to four lots located in the town of
Cristobal, Canal Zone. This conveyance, done in 1921, inasmuch as it

involved public lands, was anthorizod in advance by Act of Congress.^

However, in the event that a grrantee could not produce the original
instrument, the transcribed copy on file with the Refjistrar can serve
in like manner and etl'ect as the original.^" Therefore, the title of the
United States to all of the lands in the Canal Zone (with the exception
of the four lots which belong to the jNIasons) is established either by
referring to the original deed or to the recorded copies. Either
method
is legally sufficient to establish good title. Additionally, no deed, even
if properly executed, can be considered perfected unless the deed was
duly recorded in the office of the Registrar.^^
Authenticity
physical
physical substance of the paper records presented to the Sub-

The
committee at the hearing conducted on March 11, 1978, has survived
the years very well considering the hot, humid climate of the Canal
Zone where the records Avere stored until 1975. The deteriorated leather
binding and the discolored ink leave no doubt as to the physical sub-
stance being authentic. At the suggestion of Mr. Seng, the staff notes
that these property records do not appear to warrant a chemical
analysis of fragments because they are relatively recent, historically
speaking. However, visual comparison with similarly constructed court
records from the early 1900's confirms that the deterioration observed
is typical for the area.
FORMAL
These property records exhibit the form and style identified by the
Executive Order establishing the record-keeping systems. There are
four separate types of records which reflect the required entries made
in the office of the Registrar (1) Record of the Property of the Canal
:
Zone, (2) File Docket, (3) Grantor Index, and (-4) Grantee Index.
The chronological sequence of the docket entries confirms the instru-
ment sequence of the property record. ^Moreover, the grantor and gran-
tee indexes, as direct and cross alphabetical reference tools, confirm
the formal authenticity of the official property record.
Access
original deeds
The original deeds, together with their certificates of authenticity,

should be in the custody of each of the original grantees. Inasmuch as
the ultimate grantee in all cases (except the Masonic lots) is the
United States, the chain of title to any tract of land in the Canal Zone
ends with a deed vesting title in the United States. The implementing
Executive Order stipulates that the Land Agent in charge of the Land
Office of the Canal Zone is the custodian of the deeds,
maps, and records

Toinpany inherited these records as successor in function to the Land
Office of the Canal Zone.^'^ Access to these records can be initiated by
contactinii- tlie Panama Canal (ômpany or l)v contactino; the Archiv-
ist of th(> United States in the event that the Panama Canal Conijâny
has already transferred the records to the Archivist under the appli-
cable statute.^' These records should not be disposed ^" prior to any
^^'
dispositiou of public lands comprisino; the Canal Zone.^' In the event

these records have been destroyed eitlier by the Archivist or by the
Paiuima Canal Company, the only authentic record which survives
would then be the official record of the Registrar of Court, which is an
equally valid ]noof of title.
OFFICIAL RECORD
The official record of the Registrar of Property of the Canal Zone

isin the legal custody of the Clerk of Courts, United States District
Court for the District of the Canal Zone.^^ As evidenced by the Order
of the District Court of the Canal Zone pursuant to which access to
the records was obtained at the Subcommittee hearing on ^Nlarch 11.
1978, access to the property records of the Court is properly initiated
by contacting the District Court which can arrange for revievr of its
records by the public or by the Congress. Since the official record of
the District Court must be presumed to be the only known proof of
the United States fee simple interest in the lands comprising the Canal
Zone, extraordinary care must be taken to protect the records of the
Court. Because federal law prohibits the destruction of these records,
the official records must be safeguarded by the court. ^^ The District
Court has to date performed this function well, and there is no reason
to suppose that the records will now be lost or destroyed. Nevertheless,
because the matter of the disposition of public lands in the Canal
Zone is presently before the Congress (the proposed Panama Canal
Treaty and H. Con. Res. 347), the temporary location of the records
in "Washington in the physical custody of the Administrative Office
of the United States Courts is desirable pending the final outcome of
the legislative issue and pending such further record disposition as the
United States District Court for the Canal Zone might deem
appropriate.

MICROFILM
The Subcommittee has in its possession a complete microfihn copy

of all US. District Court for the Canal Zone
the records of the
through 1955. The staff has examined the microfilm records in detail
and finds a variety of warranty deeds, quit claim deeds, and othei;
conveyance instruments vesting title to real property in tlie Zone in
the United States of America as grantee. In some instances, it appears
that the United States (or an agent of the United States, such as the
Isthmian Land Commission, the Panama Railroad Company, or the
Panama Canal Company) may have paid several times over for the
same tract of land in order to insure good title. The records clearly
show that a concentrated effort to extinguish all private land titles (or
claims of title) and vest in the United States a fee simple interest in
all real estate in the Canal Zone occurred in the years immediately after
1912 when President Woodrow Wilson, acting under specific authority
of the Panama Canal Act of 1912, ordered the acquisition by the
United States of fee title to all lands in the Zone.^°

THE PANAMA CANAL
History Prior to 1950
Treaties irith Panama
The Ignited vStates nnclertook the constniction of the Panama Canal after
conclndins a treaty with Panama iu 1903/ under which, among other provisions:
1. I'anania granted to the T'nited States the use, occupation and control of the
Canal Zone for the construction, maintenance, operalion, sanitation and protec-
tion of the Canal f
2. Panama granted to the United States all the rights, power and authority
within the Canal Zone "which the United States would possess and exorcise if
it were tlie sovereign of the territory * * * the entire exclusion of the exercise
by the Republic of Panama of any such rights, power, or authority."

^
3. The United States agreed to pay the Republic of Panama SIO million in cash
and an annuity of $250,000.*
Subsequent treaties between the United States and Panama were concluded
"
in 1936 and 1055." The 1936 treaty, among other provisions, increased the annuity
payalile to Panama from $250,000 to $430,000' and placed restrictions on resi-
dence, importations), and commercial activity in the Canal Zone.* The 1955 treaty,
among other provisions :
-
1. Further increased the annuity to $1,930,000;
2. Provided for return to Panama of improved and iiniinproved real estate
owned by the United States in Panama ^° :
3. Excluded Panamanian employees residing in Panama from the priv-

"
ilege of making purchases in Canal Zone stores ;
4. Granted Panama the right to tax Panamanians employed in the Canal

^'
Zone ;
5. Provided for equality of opportunity and treatment of Panamanian

^'
employees and ;
6. Provided for construction of a bridge across the Canal at the Pacific

entrance to the Canal.^'
The Panama Canl
Construction of the Canal was i>erformed by the Isthmian Canal Commission
luader the provisions of the Spooner Act of Juno 28, 1902.'^ As construction ap-
proached completion, the President issued an Executive order providing a perma-
nent organization for the completiorr, maintenance, operation, government and
sanitation of the Panama Canal and its adjuncts and the govenrment of the
Canal Zone ^" pursuant to authority provided by the Panama Canal Act of
August 24, 1912.'" The effect of the Panama Canal Act and the Executive order
was to establish The Panama Canal as an independent government agency for
(1) operation and maintenance of the waterway, and (2) civil government of
the Camil Zone. The pertinent provisions of the Panama Canal Act were later
incorporated in the 1934 edition of the Canal Zone Code.''*

The Panama Railroad Company

During the existence of The Panama Canal agency, many of tlie qnasi-lm«ine.ss
enterprises relating to the Canal operation, (e.g., the railroad, steamship line,
commissaries, etc.) were conducted l)y tlie I'anama Railroad Company. The
Company was originally created in 1849 Tinder rhe laws of the State of New
York as a private corporation for the purpose of constructing and maintaining a
railroad across the Isthmu.s of Panama. Most of the shares of the Company's
capital stock were acquired in 18S1 by the French in conjunction with their
attempt to construct a fanal. The Isthmian Canal Commission accpiired the
shares owned l)y the French Can.al Company for the United States as part of
the P'rench assets purchased in li)04, and in 1!!0.") purcha.sed the remaining out-
standing .shares from private owners. Thus, since lit05 the Company has been
wholly owned by the United States Government. ^"
In 11)4.", Congress enacted the Government Corporation Control Act which
l)roliibited the continued existence of any wholly owned government corporation
created by or under the laws of any state. Accordingly, the I'anama Railroad Com-
pany was reincorporated under a federal charter with authority to continue its
operations as before.""
REORGANIZATION ACT OF 1950
Under legislation enacted in 1950, a basic change in the organizational struc-

ture of the canal enterprise liecame effective July 1, 19'."il.'^ One purpo.se of the
reorganization was to separate the business oi)erations of the canal enterprise,
including operation of the waterway, from those functions normally associated
with civil government. Thus, all the functions of the agency previously known as
The Panama Canal except those relating to civil government, health, and .sanita-
tion were transferred to the i'anama Railroad Company which was renamed the
Panama Canal Company. The Panama Canal agency retained its governmental
functions and was renamed the Canal Zone Government.
PRESENT ORGANIZATION
The basic provisions of the 1950 reorganization legislation were subsequently

incorporated into the 1962 edition of the Canal Zone Code." Under the statutory
scheme, outlined below, the Panama Canal Com])any and the Canal Zone Govern-
ment function as an integrated enterprise, although each is an independent agency
of the United States.''
Panama Canal Company
The Panama Canal Company is described in the law as a body corporate and
an agency of the United States for the purpose of maintaining and operating the
Panama Canal and conducting business enterprises incident thereto and incident
to the civil government of the Canal Zone."'
The United States, in its capacity as owner of the corporation, is represented by
the President or such officer as he designates, called the "stockholder.""" The
President has designated the Secretary of the Army to act as stockholder.-'"' The
Executive order delegating this authority to the Secretary of the Army specifies
that in performing this function, the Secretary shall act as the direct representa-
tive of the President and not in his capacity as bead of the Department of the
Arm.v."'
Management of the Company is vested in a Board of Directors, consisting of
not less than nine nor more than thirteen members, including the Governor of the
Canal Zone and the stockholder, if he elects to serve.^ The other members of the
P>oard are appointed by and serve at the p'easure of the stockholders.-" The
directors receive no salary but are jiaid a per diem allowance and transportation
expenses for travel in connection with their services to the Company.

The powers of the Company are enumerated in the charter.^ In general the prin-

system, and service activities essential for meeting the needs of employees, such
as Ihing quarters, retail stores and restaurant.*. The results of operation of each
of the units of the Company is shown in detail in the Company's annual reports.
Under its charter the Company is required to be self-sustaining although
appropriations are authorized to cover any operating los.ses^^ or for capital
improvcviients.^" Appropriations for operating losses are required to be repaid.
Since the 1950 reorganization the Company has not received any appropriations.
All operating exix^nses and capital costs have been met from revenues.
Tlie Company is also required to reimbur.se the Treasury for interest on the
net direct investment of the United States in the corporation at rates fixed
annually by the Secretary of the Ti-easury,^^ for the annuity of $430,000 paid
to Panama under the 1903 treaty with Panama as amended by the 1936 treity,''*
and for the net costs of operation of the agency known as the Canal Zone
Government.^
Tolls for the use of the Canal are established by the Company, subject to ap-
proval by the President of the United Stntes.'^'^ The law requires that tolls be
maintained at rates calculated to recover all costs of maintenance and operation
of the Canal, including interest, depreciation and an appropriate .share of the
net cost of the Canal Zone Government.'*' The remaining financial obhgations
of the Company are met through revenues derived from operations of the sup-
porting activities.
The Board of Directors is required to review annually its working capital
requirements together with foreseeable requirements for plant replacement and
expansion and to pay any amounts in excess thereof into the Treasury in reduc-
tion of the Government's investment in the Company.^' Since 1950 the Company
has paid $30 million into the Treasury for this purpose.
Canal Zone Government
The Canal Zone Government Is an independent agency of the United States
charged with the performance of the various duties connected with the civil gov-
ernment of the Canal Zone.^° The Canal Zone Government is administered by a
Governor of the Canal Zone under the supervision of the President or such
ofl5cer of the United States as may be designated by him.^° The President has
^^
designated the Secretary of the Army for this purpose with the same stipu-
lation as in the delegation to act as the stockholder of the Panama Canal Com-
pany that in performing these functions, the Secretary acts as the direct repre-
sentative of the Pi-esident and not in his capacity as head of the Department
of the Army.*^
The Governor of the Canal Zone is appointed by the President by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate for a term of four years.^^ As i>reviously noted,
the Governor is e.r officio the President of the Panama Canal Company and a
member of the Company's Board of Directors.
The functions of the Canal Zone Government are those normally associated
with civil s-ovemnient. They include police and fire protection. oi>eration of a
school system, and provision of courts, medical facilities, sanitation, roads, and
customs and immigration services. The Canal Zone Governnient operates on ap-
propriations received from Congress each year. Any revenues received by the
