By next spring, probably by April, a total of 70 U. S.-rate families will have moved into their new masonry quarters on the Pacific side, and other families will be in some of the new homes in Margarita. The first five apartments to be occupied were a duplex, located close to the site of the former Diablo mess hall, and three cottages nearby. One of these is a revised version of the Breezeway type, another is a type 327, which has two bedrooms, and the third is a type 331, with three. Notices were sent October 28 to the four families to whom these houses were assigned, asking that they occupy their new quarters not later than November 8. A second group of the Diablo houses is to be turned over to the Housing Division soon and these will probably be occupied by November 15.

    Panama: Political and Economic Conditions and U.S. Relations Mark P. Sullivan Specialist in Latin American Affairs November 27, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL30981 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Panama: Political and Economic Conditions and U.S. Relations Summary With five successive elected civilian governments, the Central American nation of Panama has made notable political and economic progress since the 1989 U.S. military intervention that ousted the regime of General Manuel Antonio Noriega from power. Current President Ricardo Martinelli of the center-right Democratic Change (CD) party was elected in May 2009, defeating the ruling center-left Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD) in a landslide. Martinelli was inaugurated to a five-year term on July 1, 2009. Martinelli’s Alliance for Change coalition with the Panameñista Party (PP) also captured a majority of seats in Panama’s National Assembly. Panama’s service-based economy has been booming in recent years – with a growth rate of 7.6% in 2010 and 10.6% in 2011 – largely because of the ongoing Panama Canal expansion project, now slated for completion in early 2015. The CD’s coalition with the PP fell apart at the end of August 2011when President Martinelli sacked PP leader Juan Carlos Varela as Foreign Minister. Varela, however, retains his position as Vice President. Tensions between the CD and the PP had been growing throughout 2011, largely related to which party would head the coalition’s ticket for the 2014 presidential election. Despite the breakup of the coalition, the strength of the CD has grown significantly since 2009 because of defections from the PP and the PRD and it now has a majority on its own in the legislature.

  • Theodore Roosevelt's Big-Stick Policy
    THEODORE ROOSEVELT'S BIG-STICK POLICY - In 1901, only a few months after being inaugurated president for a second time, McKinley was killed by an anarchist - Succeeding him was the vice president-the young expansionist and hero of the Spanish-American War, Theodore Roosevelt - Describing his foreign policy, the new president had once said that it was his motto to "speak softly and carry a big stick" - The press therefore applied the label "big stick" to Roosevelt's aggressive foreign policy - By acting decisively in a number of situations, Roosevelt attempted to build the reputation of the U.S. as a world power - Imperialists liked him, but critics of the big-stick policy disliked breaking from the tradition of noninvolvement in global politics THE PANAMA CANAL - As a result of the Spanish-American War, the new American empire stretched from Puerto Rico to the Philippines in the Pacific - As a strategy for holding these islands, the U.S. needed a canal in Central America to connect the Atlantic & Pacific Oceans REVOLUTION IN PANAMA - Roosevelt was eager to begin the construction of a canal through the narrow but rugged terrain of the isthmus of Panama - He was frustrated that Colombia controlled Panama & refused to agree to U.S. terms for digging the canal through Panama - Losing patience with Colombia, Roosevelt supported a revolt in Panama in 1903 - With U.S. backing, the rebellion succeeded immediately and almost without bloodshed - The first act of the new gov't of independent Panama was to sign a treaty (the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty of 1903) granting the U.S.

  • The Square Deal
    Teddy Roosevelt - The Trust Buster Teddy Roosevelt was one American who believed a revolution was coming. He believed Wall Street financiers and powerful trust titans to be acting foolishly. He believed that large trusts and monopolies were harmful to the economy and especially to the consumer. While they were eating off fancy china on mahogany tables in marble dining rooms, the masses were roughing it. There seemed to be no limit to greed. If docking wages would increase profits, it was done. If higher railroad rates put more gold in their coffers, it was done. How much was enough, Roosevelt wondered? The President's weapon was the Sherman Antitrust Act, passed by Congress in 1890. This law declared illegal all combinations "in restraint of trade." For the first twelve years of its existence, the Sherman Act was a paper tiger. United States courts routinely sided with business when any enforcement of the Act was attempted. 1. What belief guided President Theodore Roosevelt’s efforts as a trustbuster? 2. What is a monopoly? Why are they harmful to the economy and to the consumer? 3. What piece of legislation did Roosevelt use to break up monopolies? The Square Deal The Square Deal was Roosevelt's domestic program formed on three basic ideas: conservation of natural resources, control of corporations, and consumer protection. In general, the Square Deal attacked plutocracy and bad trusts while simultaneously protecting businesses from the most extreme demands of organized labor. In contrast to his predecessor William McKinley, Roosevelt believed that such government action was necessary to mitigate social evil, and as president denounced “the representatives of predatory wealth” as guilty of “all forms of iniquity from the oppression of wage workers to defrauding the public." Trusts and monopolies became the primary target of Square Deal legislation.

  • The Rise of American Power in the World Answer Key 1
    Handout A: Background Essay: The Rise of American Power in the World Answer Key 1. Early American foreign policy prior to World War I was guided largely by the principles established in Washington’s Farewell Address. American foreign policy observed good faith and justice towards all nations while avoiding any “permanent alliances” or foreign entanglements. American leaders exercised restraint when considering involvement with foreign nations. Additionally, early American involvement in foreign affairs showed a decided interest in protecting American interests rather than foreign ones. The character of American involvement was one that acted only when its interests were threatened, particularly in the areas of trade. 2. The Spanish-American war was an important turning point in American foreign policy. For the first time, America went to war ostensibly to safeguard the liberty of a foreign nation. This mission was in line with the era’s progressive view of foreign policy in which America was seen as needing to intervene in order to civilize and rebuild the society of foreign nations along a more American model. As a result of this change, the United States continued to intervene in a number of international affairs aimed at securing liberty abroad. Examples were a number of additional interventions in Latin America as well as the eventual intervention in World War I. 3. Theodore Roosevelt implemented a large expansion of American foreign policy based upon military strength. His famous quote was that America should, “speak softly and carry a big stick,” as the nation exercised military strength around the globe. Roosevelt believed that the United States should make displays of military strength in order to give a reminder that the nation was capable of militarily competing with Europe.
