Administration's Notable Executive Acts
The president reshaped the Roosevelts era by appointing Major Goethals to head the canal commission and retaining control of the project. He curbed California anti Japanese moves with diplomacy and possible federal action. Metcalf announced the Pacific fleet mobilization, later borne out by Evans sailing the Atlantic armada from Norfolk. A waterways commission was created and a Mississippi river tour led governors to Memphis. Cabinet shakeups moved Cortelyou to treasury, Shaw retired, Meyer and Garfield filled top posts. Oklahoma achieved statehood on November 16 signifying a major national milestone.
