The independence of Panama, the grant to the United States of the right to construct the canal across the Isthmus, and the assumption by the United States of the duty to construct the canal and to maintain it for the equal benefit of mankind, are ac complished facts. Nothing can do away with them, unless it be some future war of conquest waged against the liberties of Pan ama, and at the same time against the rights of the United States held in trust for the commerce of the world.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the events leading to the United States' recognition of the newly established Republic of Panama in 1904 and the subsequent construction of the Panama Canal. The author explores the historical context of Colombia's rule over Panama, examining the country's struggle to maintain order and the impact of the treaty with the United States. The book examines the ethical and legal considerations that influenced the US government's decision to recognize Panama's independence and the broader implications for international relations and the development of the region. The author argues that the US action was ultimately justified by the need to secure the construction of the canal, despite concerns about Colombia's sovereignty. The book sheds light on the complex interplay between national interests, international law, and the pursuit of progress in this transformative period of history.
