Panama impeaches President
PANAMA CITY — (UPI)—The Panamanian National Assembly Thursday night impeached President Marcos A. Robles for violating the Constitution and named a commission to prosecute him in a trial before the assembly.
The charge against Robles is that he publicly campaigned for a presidential candidate in violation of a constitutional ban against such activity by a president in office.
The report charged that Robles openly backed government presidential candidate David Samudio, a former member of the Robles cabinet.
French houses traditionally are surrounded by a wall, with a trim, neat garden inside, he said.
In America, Wylie said, homes may be surrounded by small hedges—with paths leading into the front yard, making the yard neither public nor private. Privacy fades gradually into the public area. Americans, he said, have no concept of the strict limits which rule French life.
The result was a 30 to 0 vote in favor of impeachment.
In Panama, as in the United States, impeachment is similar to an indictment and Robles may not be removed from office unless the assembly finds him guilty of the charges.
The three-man commission appointed by the assembly has 30 days in which to prepare its case against the tall, greying president.
The French tend to view things in a highly-structured, well-ordered light, and Americans, with their great energy, wealth, and power scare them, Wylie said.
"They feel we're dangerous because we can't exercise adult control."
Robles in the past has declared that he considers all assembly action to suspend him from office "null."
Laurence C. Wylie, Harvard professor of the civilization of France, and former cultural affairs officer at the American Embassy in Paris, said "many little things which we're not even aware of get in our way" when it comes to Franco-American relations.

France and America have a kind of love affair going, yet like most love affairs, it is replete with misunderstandings, a Harvard professor said Thursday night in the Kansas Union Forum Room.

hind those walls is none of your business," he said. In America, homes are lighted and picture windows expose the private lives of the occupants to passers-by.
This concept of a strict set of rules applies even to French children. They are taught from a very early age to obey the rules set by their parents, Wylie said, whereas the American child is taught to try to overcome restraints.
"They are taught that all of France's crises and troubles have occurred when she ventured outside or when some evil character breached the hexagon."
The French even apply this rigidity to their geography, Wylie said, where French children are taught that France is a hexagon.
