Panama Canal Decision and the Isthmus Route
President argues the United States secured Panama’s independence to guarantee a canal across the Isthmus. He reviews HayHerrán and HayPauncefote treaties, Colombia's delay, and the shift to Panama as the route, asserting U S intervention protected transit and civilization. He denies complicity in Panama’s revolution and emphasizes building the canal is the vital goal.
