Ex Secretary Blaine on the Panama Canal Question
Blaine's 1881 letter to Minister Lowell, sent to Congress by the President, argues a modified Clayton Bulwer Treaty to fit U S Pacific duties. It endorses Monroe doctrine, proposes open canal commerce in peace, neutral wartime, and suggests Britain-US cooperation to reduce controversy.
