The president submits to Congress full information on Panama Canal purchase, rejecting libelous claims. He denounces Joseph Pulitzer and The World, confirms purchase handled openly through the New Panama Canal Company of France and the Seine tribunal, and lists attached documents and official records.
In 1908 President Roosevelt explains that the United States acquired the Panama Canal and railroad properties at the valuations set by the Isthmian Canal Commission after lengthy investigation. The French company refused offers, then accepted the commission’s $40,000,000 appraisal. Roosevelts letter lists documents for Congress review and states printing is optional but allowed. The White House also advertises a magazine offer for Evening Democrat and Cosmopolitan.
