COL. COCKTAILS POLICY
NO OFFENSIVE MTLITARISM on
THE CANAL ZONE.
First Public Utterance Of the New
Head Of the 1sthmian
Commission.

There Is no danger OF militarism on the
canal zone. in any offensive sense. at least,
according to the declaration Of Col Goe-
thals himself. A full and Straightforward
outline of his policy in respect to that and
other important features of the canal work
is contained in the reports by incoming
mail from the isthmus of speech delivered
by Col Goethals March 16 before the Coro-
zal Club, the first public utterance OF the
new chairman of the isthmian canal COM
mission, and one which made deep I'M
preston among the employees on the zone.
Col. Goethals said:
Eighteen months ago, when I came to
the isthmus with the Secretary or war,
and saw the condition of affairs then, the
prospects of an isthmian canal seemed
rather hopeless. l have been very much
surprised to see the progress made within
that time l fully realize that Mr.. Stevens
has perfected an organization, which, II
maintained. will carry this canal through
to completion. prolonged applauseo l
want to say here that it is my intention to
keep that organization as he has establish
ed 1t.
The Milftarism Involved.
Il have understood that there was some
little feeling on account OF militartsm. but
/ want to state here that l do not expect
q salute from any Hall Oh Int JOD.
When l commanded company every
man in that company understood that he
could always come to see the captain at
any time that he saw fit and lay before
the captain any grievance he thought ne
had. | want you gentlemen to understand
and feel that l will welcome any sugges-
tons: shall listen to any complaint or any
grievance that any of you may have You
will not have to come to the once; you
may speak to me anywhere along the work.
and l will gladly listen to you. l Will set
no time to see you: you may come to the
office at any time and 1 will gladly listen.
while we are on this subject of mfiitar-
ism ! will say that l expect to be the chief;
the division engineers and the heads of the
various departments are going to be the
colenels. the foremen are going to be the
captains. and the men who do the labor are
going to be the privates. You have your
colonies with you, and they will remain;
you have your captains with you. and they
will remain. There will be no more mill
arism in the future than there has been
in the past.
Il am no longer commander In the
United States army. l now consider that
am commanding the army of Panama.
and that the enemy we are going to combat
is the Culebra cut and the locks and dams
at both. ends of the canal. and any man
here on the work who does his duty will
never have any cause to complain on ac-
count of mitarism."
