Roosevelt Denounces Colombia Pact As Blackmail
Theodore Roosevelt returned to America aboard the Imperator and issued a long statement condemning the $25,000,000 payment to Colombia for Panama Canal rights as belated blackmail. He argues the United States should abandon the zone and restore Panama to Colombia, accusing President Wilson and Secretary Bryan of mismanaging foreign affairs and making the U.S. a figure of fun. He contends the canal's fate hinged on action, not watchful waiting, and criticizes the proposed treaty as a concession that could invite further coercion by foreign powers.
