Roosevelt quotes debunking Panama canal graft charges
President Roosevelt delivers a special message to Congress asserting that claims of US government corruption in acquiring the Panama canal from France are false. He condemns The World and Pulitzer as liars, defends Knox and the administration, and outlines the legal, financial, and procedural steps that secured the transfer of Panama canal property, including the 1902 act and subsequent disclosures.
