RooseveIt's Panama Defense.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

Nobody has ever seriously charged Theo-
dore Roosevelt with physical or moral
cowardice, and the Eagle is glad that he
has taken up In his addresses at Buenos
Ayres the event of his administrator most
irritating to all Observation-Disclosures ac-
QUESTION Of the Panama canal zone. 1t
Is still evident that Colon bia feels she was
wronged, that a rebellion fomented and
supported by United States influence and
power divided her territory and took from
her what was of vast value in the best
route for a canal connecting the Atlantic
and the Pacific oceans. In this feeling
many South Americans in Argentine,
Brazil and Chile sympathize.
Colonel Roosevelt believes what he did
was in the interest of the highest com
mercial and international morality. He
knows we paid to the new Republic Of
Panama precisely what Colombia had
once offered to sell the same concessions
for. He does not think there vas any
reason why grafters in Colombia, who
lifted the price, should nave been per-
mitted to block a great enterprise for the
benefit OF all nations. His defense Will
be understood by Argentina. Coupled
Monroe doctrine is a thing Of the past so
far as the great and rich republics of
South America are concerned, that we are
adopting no attitude OF guardianship over
them, Colonel Roosevclt's explanation of
the Colombia matter should be helpful
toward better relations with all the South
