Il believe the canal is being dug hon

what has been done and what has been
left undone, but we are not dealing
with trivialities there, nor is the canal
commission to be held accountable like

We are building a great canal, and it
is going to be built.
There seems to have been an entire
misrepresentation in the public mind as
