Colonel Goethals lauded the work
done by the marines in the canal

hardly be held if the United States
lost control of the sea aroused much
interest in the committee and later in

military appropriation bill, quoted
Colonel Goethals at length.

before offering the task to BRAND.
After a talk with Fallieries, BRAND

foreign portfolio in the new ministry.
