About this book
The Panama Canal, by Frederic J. Haskin, treats canal construction, with the front matter stating that the construction chapters were read and corrected by Colonel George W. Goethals. The account describes Mr. Roosevelt reorganizing the commission and making Col. George W. Goethals its chairman and the canal's chief engineer, with power and responsibility concentrated in the chairman. The account says Mr. Roosevelt set aside the majority opinion of the engineers consulted and directed the construction of a lock canal.
Admiral Charles H. Davis is reported as having counted nineteen canal and seven railway projects, with eight of the projects located in Nicaragua. The discussion of trade says European exporters understand that credit arrangements in Latin America differ from those in Europe and the United States, and comply with local requirements.
