The large number of West Indian negroes and negroes of West Indian origin in Pan-
ama will remain one of the basic political and social problems of the Republic. Unless
and until a particular government-whether the US, which employs many of them, or
Panama, in which they live, or Britain, which claims many of them as subjects-is able
to convince them that they are being treated on a basis of equality with other nationals,
they will remain highly sensitive to any leadership that promises to take an interest in
their problems. Consequently, it is estimated that the present CIO-UPWA Communist-
dominated union, to which a substantial number of them now belong and to which
many feel a personal attachment, will continue, so long as it makes an issue of the
alleged racial discrimination in the Zone and in the Republic to command their support.
