Colonel Roosevelt. and the consul
general of the Colombia have been in
tho lime light this week through an
interchange OF letters over the severing
of Panama from the Republic OF Col
ombia. Early in the negotiations tor
the securing OF the right to build
canal across the Isthmus of Panama it
became apparent that the United States
was to be blocked in its efforts for
the advancement OF the commerce of
the world by that little republic. 1t
was equally evident that Colombia
could never build the canal tset In

necessary TO get the state Of Panama
