註釋"I am sorry the President's letter to Secretary Knox did not clear up the mastery surrounding the Panama Canal deal. He ought to be able to tell whether or not his brother-in-law Douglas Robinson and the brother of the Republican candidate were interested in the American Syndicate which succeeded in getting control of the securities of the Panama Canal Company just before the Nicaragua Route was mysteriously abandoned." The gentleman carried out this pre-arranged plan and immediately upon the opening of the session introduced a resolution of inquiry. The authors of these infamous stories are now under investigation in the criminal courts of the District of Columbia and of New York. During the past decade no subject has been more prominently before the American public, more thoroughly investigated and discussed, more under the scrutiny of Congress and the investigations of its committees than the question of the selection of the Canal route and the acquisition and purchase of the Panama Canal. It was to be anticipated that such a vast affair, requiring such enormous expenditures, would be more or less the subject of criticism, but every citizen should be proud of the fact that not a single improper charge has been substantiated and that there is no basis whatever for criticism against the Government, its officials, any one in public life or any one in any way identified with the negotiations for the acquisition of the Canal The whole record is one of which the American people and every one identified with the subject matter may feel sincere pride.
