Letter from Herbert G. Squiers to Elihu Root

Letter from Herbert G. Squiers to Elihu Root

Minister to Panama Squiers transmits a report to Secretary of State Root which responds to the criticisms made by the Liberal Party in Panama. Squiers writes that the Liberal Party is made up of a mixed population forming the lower classes, and the party is against “Church, State and Aristocracy in the oppressive forms which they have always taken in Latin America.” Squiers believes the conservatives are as much behind the times as the liberals, which is why President Manuel Amador Guerrero formed a new party, called the Constitutional Party, made up of the most progressive members from both parties.
