Panama Riots Over U.S. Policies In The Canal Zone
Long simmering resentments erupt among the students in Panama as they voice their protest over U.S. policies in the Canal Zone. The trouble began when a group of American high school pupils flew an American flag without the Panamanian flag by its side. Native students stormed the school and before the rioters were brought under control, more than a score were dead, including four U.S. soldiers. Panama suspended relations with the U.S. while an inter-American Committee acts to resolve the difficulties.
