Canal Treaty

Calling the proposed Canal treaty "this non-event of the century", Arpad J. Von Lazar, Fletcher School Professor of International Politics at Tufts, said last night htat it is vital the U.S. straighten out the issue before the coming election year.

Lazar was part of a panel including Jorge I. Dominguez, assistant professor of Government, and Ernst Halperin, professor of Politics at Boston University, which discussed the issues involved in the Canal treaty before a sparse crowd in the Science Center.
