a slight fear in DR.. Anderson's mind
lest the United States itself some day

Secretary of State Knox, addressing
the president Of Nicaragua on this

er with the big powers and individuals
for t. @ sale Of rights. Nicaragua had
q route and Mexico another. In 1926
Aaron II. Palmer of New York secured
rights. and was going to put through
the whole Panama deal to completion
for $4,000. 900. Very lucky for his
pocketbook that the work never was
started. In the same year the English
sent John Baily 10 look over the pro-
ject. but Aaron got ahead of him.
Soon after this the French became
intensely interested. and Ferdinand de
Lesseps undertook the task of form
ing canal company. He made
lengthy gesticular speeches. making
tours at home and abroad. and finally
created SO much excitement that work
actually started on the canal under
French control in the wear 1881. The
first thing done was to install plenty
of cafes. dance halls and Paris Latin
quarters on the canal site to keep the
digging proposition from becoming too
monotonous. Working hours were
no hrs off for lunch. The company
dissolved after spending $500, 600. 900.
One-third was spent on the canal,
1ne-thlrd wasted and one-third stolen.
How a present day f%inancier would
hold up his hands in commercial hor-
ror at n spending one-third on the
canal and stealing two-thirds, instead
Of wasting any at all! He might con-
sid r that spent on the canal as vast
ed, too.
After this the United States plainly
saw that if the canal was to be built It
would have to be pushed by American
enterprise and energy. Years of dick
ering followed with the Republic Of
COLOMBIA and the wilted French COM

persuasion. in the form of a carefully
prepared revolution and a new repub.
Nc-that of Panama, all rights were
secured and real work commenced in
1904.
Instead Of establishing dance halls
and beer gardens. the government took
up sanitary measures. and by a system
of sewerage and good drainage. sani-
tary buildings and excellent medical
headquarters. made it quite a nice
place to work in, and robbed it alto
gether Of h old ~pestilential reputa-
ton. The buying Of the French rights
was not a total loss. for the French
did quite a bit of good work. While
the snow shovels and other freak ma
cainery. which some clever gentleman
sold to De Lesseps. hardly suited our
requirements in the zone. much good
material was acquired and is being
utilized.
Every n knows what is going on
now: how the great underta king, for
centuries thought Of and planned, is
nearing completion. All is assured as
far as human power can go-the
money is forthcoming and the plans
are practical.
Perhaps those hardy old spirits Of
past centuries who made all this pos
ssible by their discoveries will be how
