The State Department recalled that Panama declared war on Japan, Germany and Italy immediately after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and since then has taken numercus steps defhonstrating its “willingness to assume promptly and whole-heartedly its responsibility as a partner in the defense of the Panama Canal.” The agreement was signed in Pan- ama today by Edwin C. Wilson. United States Ambassador, and Oc- tavio Fabrega, Panamanian foreign minister. Hull and Envoy Exchange Notes. At the same time, Secretary of State Hull and Ernesto Jaen Guar- dia, Panamanian Ambassador here, exchanged notes settling outstand- ing problems in relations between the two countries. Principal poin'.s‘ provide for withdrawal of the United | States-owned Panama Railroad Co.| from real estate operations in the| cities of Panama and Colon; turn-| ing over to the government of Pan- ama of water works and sewage | systems within its jurisdiction, and | liquidation of Panama’s indebted- ness arising out of construction of the strategic Rio Hato-Chorrera| highway. These agreements will be submit- ted to Congress for approval, the department said. The military agreement signed in Panama provided that the United States shall evacuate the territories it is being permitted to occupy with- in one year after end of the war. In the meantime it is given power to exclude “such persons as it sees fit without regard to nationality” from the defense areas. Reciprocal Use of Bases. ‘The United States is obligated by | the agreement to bear one-third of the cost of maintaining all Pana- manian roads used by its forces in defense activities, and to complete construction of certain strategic highways at its own expense. Reciprocal use by United States and Panamanian military aircraft of the air bases established by the United States and Panama also is provided in the agreement. Panama agreed to charge the United States an annual rental of only one balboa or dollar for all pub- lic lands being occupied by this country’s forces except the Rio! Hato base, for which the rent is $10,000 a year. An annual rental of 50 balobas per hectare is provided for all private lands involved, Pan- ama assuming all costs of expro- priation from the private owners. The signing of the treaty came | as American negotiators at Mar-| tinique were continuing their discus- sion with French authorities on measures to safeguard French Car-| ibbean possessions against possible Axis moves.
