Lawlessness:
California Gov. Ronald Reagan re
cently said he believes lawlessness and
“the crime in our streets” will b« the
top political issue in the 1968 presi
dential campaign.
Vietnam, of course, may overshad
ow that issue, but we hope that Rea
gan is right to the extent that lawless
ness will be afforded a full and open
debate which may lead to some protec
tion for law-abiding citizens.
The U. S. Supreme Court has been
roundly criticized for its rulings in re
cent years which lean over backwards
to protect the rights of the criminal
suspects. No one will argue that their
Babson’s Point of View On:
( I ■'
PANAMA AND SUEZ
CANALS
BABSON PARK, MASS. — Neither the
Panama nor the Suez Canal is top news at
the moment. But perhaps they both ought
to be. There are rumblings concerning own
ership and operation of these international
waterways which could tip the scales for war
or peace on some tomorrow.
For many months past, the governments
of the United States and Panama have been
trying to reconcile their differing views on
the ownership and operation of the present
canal. They have been exploring also the
pros and cons of a new, more modern wa
terway between the Atlantic and the Pacific
within present Panamanian borders
A point at issue is whether we shall re
main sole owner of the present canal and
continue to exercise sovereign rights over
the bordering strip of land known as the
Panama Canal Zone. Pressures from many
sources are being exerted to persuade the U.
S. to relinquish sovereignty over this area,
and it is widely believed that President John,
son may already have decided to do so.
LATIN AMERICAN NATIONALISM
It is easy to sympathize with the burgeon
ing nationalism of Panama and other Latin
American countries, and to understand why
their people can so easily be led to believe
that the United States—the great colossus to
the North—looks down its nose upon the
nations of Central and South America.
Perhaps in another burst of. misguided
Prime Issue
rights are to be ignored.
However, law enforcement officers
feel they are handicapped in enforce
ment of the law because of the rulings.
In some instances they have been too
timid about enforcing the law and their
delay has cost" innocent lives.
In the Detroit riots, for example,
policemen watched the mass violence
kindled, lighted and it was a raging
inferno before any semblance of strong
action was taken. By then, dozens
of persons were dead and probably
damage was in the millions.
The property owners paid taxes
which, theoretically, went to pay for
police protection. Yet police stood by
and watched buildings looted and
burned.
THIS is not meant as a criticism of
all police. It merely points up that
some understanding must be reached
sj that they can enforce the law and
protect the innocent without reserva
tions which can cause costly delays.
This month’s Reader’s Digest fea
tures an article about how other na
tions handle mob violence. In none of
the other major countries mentioned is
there a timidity on the part of the po
lice in moving in quickly to quell riots.
They use whatever methods necessary.
The chief justice of the North
Carolina Supreme Court recently join

current situation in regards to protect-

that we had hitherto regarded as sensible

our sovereignty of the Panama Canal Zone,
and make other concessions regarding the
operation of the canal itself and the dispo

must risk having our altruism misinterpreted
as a sign of weakness. Hence, in following
such a course, we might be inviting out

•* SUEZ STILL CLOSED
The problem of what to do about the Suez
« Canal, on the other side of the world, is
* equally grafe. It is four months now since
7 the end of the Arab-Isralei conflict, and the
Suez still remains closed. Apparently, Presi
dent Nasser of Egypt and his Russian men- •
tors and benefactors feel that closure is
hurting the Free World more than it is hurt-
» ing the Egyptian economy, though it is hard
to follow this line of reasoning.
Quite obviously Cairo and Moscow ex-
pect the world to believe that closure of
•* the canal will impel Western interests to
put pressure on the Israelis to withdraw
their troops from the eastern bank and.
ostensibly leave the way clear for reopen-
—■ ing. Whether Nasser and Kosygin believe
^ it themselves is another matter. Mean
while there is the real possibility that
^ Israel might seize the canal if hostilities
r with the Arabs should be resumed.
r; INTERNATIONAL ACCORD
Despite the ineptness of Secretary-Gen
eral U. Thant in prematurely recalling, on
his own initiative, the 3,400-man UN peace,
keeping force which had been guarding the
Sinai desert frontier between Israel and
Egypt—a move which many observers be
lieve triggered Mid East War—the dream
of international accord lingers. Disillus-
imed we may be, but still we hope for
peace in our. day.
The time is not yet. But one day, per
haps, the UN will reach closer to its full
7 potential as a peace-keeping organization.
When that time comes, hopefully a mean-
* ingful accord on the use and operation of
„ international waterways like Panama and
Suez can be arrived at. Meanwhile, we
must grope for partial solutions compatible
with our own sovereignty and national in-
^ terest—and with our sense of international
responsibility and fair play.

Barber, Barber’s Pole
We call a person who cuts and dresses men’s
hair a barber. He also shaves or trims beards, and
that is the source of his name, for “barber” came
from the old French “barbeor” which in turn came
from the Latin “barba”—beard-
The barber’s pole, which hangs outside his shop
as an advertisement of his trade, is a reminder that
barbers used to practice surgery.
One phase of their surgery was bloodletting.
The red-and-white striped pole represents th«

this process. •.
