The circumstances determining this similarity ire the same which demand certain collective studies ‘f economic problems in Latin America, to find for them, precisely, joint solution. However, it is un- leniable that certain exceptions exist, and that there ure particular cases that have no parallel with the rthers and, therefore, must be treated separately. But those cases are a visible minority. With this similarity of problems at hand and iaving so many identifying characteristics in shemselves, it would be wise for the Latin American ‘ountries to study carefully their economic prob- lems, with the purpose of solving them within the) nteramerican System, with the needed cooperation of the United States. POLITICAL PROBLEMS IN THE MIDDLE EAST _ It is evident that in the last few years the coun-| ries of the Middle East have acquired an extraor- jinary political and economic importance, of ‘trans- cendental significance for international life. The world necessarily has to watch closely the fevelopment of all activities in that important re- rion, where constantly events are taking place which, because of their form and scope, have serious ‘epercussions in the vast and complex international Janorama, especially with relation to the equilibrium f the delicate relations between East and West. Of great importance in the political life of the} Middle East is the attitude assumed by the Arab weague, which is giving categoric demonstrations f a high spirit of solidarity. In spite of discrepan- ies that, among them, the countries forming the veague may have, it is evident that, in the face of nternational problems affecting any one of its aembers and which are of serious nature, all the | \rab States respond to the situation on a basis of olid friendship and efficient cooperation. To this is due, in a great measure, that the sroblems of that region of the world are closely ied up with the attitudes of the Arabic countries. Facing the almost permanent political crisis of | he Middle East, the high leaders of world in- ernational policies must adopt measures of vigilance nd study, with the purpose of solving the problems hat, having transcendence in the field of interna- ional relations, weigh, in some manner, on the actors that are making possible the relative peace’ till being. enjoyed by the world, TREATY OF MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING AND COOPERATION BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE REPUBLIC OF PANAMA 1955 ARTICLE V The United States of America agrees that, subject to the enact- ent of legislation by the Congress, there shall bé conveyed to the epublic of Panamé free of cost all the right, title and interest held ’ the United States of America or its agencies in and to certain lands id improvements in territory under the jurisdiction of the Republic Panama when and as determined by the United States to be no nger needed for the operation, maintenance, sanitation or protec- mm of the Panama Canal or of its auxiliary works, or for other thorized purposes of the United States in the Republic of Panama. te lands and improvements referred to in the preceding sentence id the determinations by the United States of America respecting e same, subject to the enactment of legislation by the Congress, are ‘signated and set forth in Item 2 of the Memorandum of Under- anding Reached which bears the same date as ‘this Treaty.
