President Roosevelt on Panama Canal Sanitation Efforts
In a message to Congress Roosevelt recounts his November visit to the Isthmus of Panama, Panama City, and Colon, lauds the French Canal Company's work, defends canal route choices, and details sanitation measures, housing conditions, and progress in Panama and Colon amid criticism and challenges. He notes the decisive role of Dr. Gorgas, improvements in drainage, sewerage, and housing, and emphasizes that rapid progress was balanced against the need for public health and labor management.
