Obstructing the work at Panama.


The country at large, understanding
somewhat of the sources Of the current
attempts to discredit and thwart the
presidents policies, will not be surprised
at anything that may be said regarding
what has thus far been done on the
Isthmus of Panama. Three facts may
be asserted: ID We have entered upon a
gigantic undertaking: ~ we have made
the president responsible for it; 90
there have been no mistakes that need
arouse suspicion or cause anxiety. The
original form of the canal commission
was not well adapted to produce results.
The president reorganized the commits
sion in such a way as to make It mora
effective. He took steps to provide for a
stable currency on the Isthnus, because
this was a necessary business proceed
ing. There are Obstructionists in the
senate who criticise the president for
having done these things we'll ! eCause
they hold that he did them without
specific authority of law. What the
president has been trying to do has
been to exercise good faith the authority
conferred upon him to proceed with the
work at Panama. And he has taken It
for granted that the greater authority
included the less. In other words, since
the law has given him full authority to
proceed, 1t is fair to assume that his
authority includes the right to do those
things in detail that are Indispensable
to the main undertaking. There will be
canal Investigations and intermina-ble
criticism at Washington but the public.
may rest assured that President Roose-
welt, Secretary Taft, Chief Engineer
Stevens, and Chairman Shonts Of the
canal commission, with Judge Magoon5
as minister to Panama and governor Of
the canal zone, are doing their work
with rare intelligence and fidelity. The
people Of the United States are very.
lucky, indeed. to have this canal under
taking in such competent hands. Con-
gress has a perfect right to INVESTIGATES
and criticise, and it has unquestionably
the power both to obstruct the canal
work and to stop it altogether. But tbs
people of the country should understand
that there IS no ground wha tsoever for
serious criticism. and that If the canal
work does not proceed henceforth- with
great rapidity. it will be congress and
not the president that should be blamed.
In the not very distant future there win
be a special message to congress dealing
with the question whether or not the
canal should be sea-level or be built
with locks.-Review Of Reviews forFeb
