The treaty negotiated by this
country with the Republic of
Panama, opening the way for the
construction of the Panama canal,
has prospects of an early ratifica-
ton as the opposition is decreas-
ing. There is really no opposi-
ton to the building of the canal,
it is generally recognized as a
necessity; but it is the method
and manner of the secession of
Panama from Colombia and the
subsequent treaty with the pro-
visional government in the shape
of a junta, that has aroused oppo-
sitiOn. A number of patriotic
men believe that our countrv's
honor has been compromised,
and the plain letter of the law
violated by President Roosevelt,
and for this reason they oppose
the treaty and insist that the
Nicaragua route be selected.
