Somoza Offers Free Land to US Colonists for Nicaragua Canal
Nicaragua's President Somoza pledged free land to 4000 American colonists if the US proceeds with plans for a second Panama Canal across Nicaragua. He endorsed Roosevelt policies, warned European powers could dominate Central America otherwise, and said Nicaragua would fight with the United States. He cited the Bryan-Chamatis treaty and naval base rights, arguing a sea level canal would cut costs and shield the canal from bombing.
