THE PANAMA CANAL REVIEW April 2,1954 f-7Cr- J &Z)<^>3 JW£ Vol. 4, No. 9 BALBOA HEIGHTS, CANAL ZONE, APRIL 2, 1954 5 cents THE CANAL BUILDER "The plare to see the Colonel at his best was from a certain chair in his private office at Culebra, after eight on Sunday morning. There, at a flat-topped desk, with a freshly-opened tin of cigarettes before him, he sat in most informal state, and every man or woman who had a grievance could come and state it to the Man at the Top. From his decision there was no appeal, except to the President of the United States."—Goethals: Genius of the Panama Canal. A man went down to Panama, Tilla mind glowed white thru the yellow mist So through our age three giants loom Where many a man had died, " And purged the poison-mold, To vouch man's venturous soul: To slit the sliding mountain* And the wrecks rose up in labor, Amundsen on his ice-peak, And lift the eternal tide: And the fever's knell was tolled, And Peary from his Pole. A man stood up in Panama, And the keen mind cut the world-divide And midway, where the oceans meet, And the mountains stood aside. Untarnished by world-gold. Goethals—beside his goal. The Power that wrought the tide and peak For a poet wrought in Panama Where old Balboa bent his gaze Wrought mightier the seer; With a continent for his theme, He leads the liners through. And the One who made the Isthmus And he wrote with flood and fire And the Horn that tossed Magellan He made the engineer. To forge a planet's dream, Bellows afar halloo, And the good God He made Goethals And the derricks rang his dithyrambs For where the navies never sailed To cleave the hemisphere. And his stanzas roared in steam. Steamed Goethals and his crew. The reek of fevered ages rose But the poet's mind it is not his So nevermore the tropic routes From poisoned jungle and strand, Alone, but a million men's: Need Poleward warp and veer, Where the crumbling wrecks of failure Far visions of lonely dreamers But on through the Gates of Goethals Lay sunk in the torrid sand— Meet there as in a lens, The steady keels shall steer, Derelicts of old desperate hopes And lightnings, pent by stormy time, Where the tribes of man are led toward peace And venal contraband. Leap through, with flame intense. By the prophet-engineer. —Percy MacKaye THE PANAMA CANAL REVIEW April 2,1954 1858 • GEORGE W.

    Panama: Political and Economic Conditions and U.S. Relations Mark P. Sullivan Specialist in Latin American Affairs November 27, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL30981 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Panama: Political and Economic Conditions and U.S. Relations Summary With five successive elected civilian governments, the Central American nation of Panama has made notable political and economic progress since the 1989 U.S. military intervention that ousted the regime of General Manuel Antonio Noriega from power. Current President Ricardo Martinelli of the center-right Democratic Change (CD) party was elected in May 2009, defeating the ruling center-left Democratic Revolutionary Party (PRD) in a landslide. Martinelli was inaugurated to a five-year term on July 1, 2009. Martinelli’s Alliance for Change coalition with the Panameñista Party (PP) also captured a majority of seats in Panama’s National Assembly. Panama’s service-based economy has been booming in recent years – with a growth rate of 7.6% in 2010 and 10.6% in 2011 – largely because of the ongoing Panama Canal expansion project, now slated for completion in early 2015. The CD’s coalition with the PP fell apart at the end of August 2011when President Martinelli sacked PP leader Juan Carlos Varela as Foreign Minister. Varela, however, retains his position as Vice President. Tensions between the CD and the PP had been growing throughout 2011, largely related to which party would head the coalition’s ticket for the 2014 presidential election. Despite the breakup of the coalition, the strength of the CD has grown significantly since 2009 because of defections from the PP and the PRD and it now has a majority on its own in the legislature.

    WSU 2Ü3l Century Art •# WORKING AMERICA: INDUSTRIAL IMAGERY IN AMERICAN PRINTS, 1900-1940 22 March - 22 May 1983 First Floor American Wing Metropolitan Museum of Art Modern Art Library THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART The Library PRESENTED BY William S. Lieberman Smoking steel mills and factory assembly lines, skyscrapers and bridges under construction, pneumatic drill operators and arc welders are images that do not conform to the traditional subject matter of American art. Yet, by 1900, increasing urbanization and rapid industrial growth had become a vital part of American life and, correspondingly, of its art. Writers, dramatists, painters, photographers, and printmakers responded to these new stimuli. For printmakers, such as Joseph Pennell and B. J. 0. Nordfeldt, the billowing smoke from factories possessed a man-made beauty rivaling the best of nature. For others, the new buildings that pierced city skies inspired works recording a new group of cathedral builders scurrying about on catwalks far above city streets. By the outbreak of World War II industrial imagery was as viable a part of the American scene as pastoral pursuits. Artists, active in the various programs of the Works Progress Admin­ istration (WPA), were encouraged by the government to portray contemporary American life. The programs promoted arts for the people, whether murals in a post office or prints decorating a hospital ward. Bridge building, pipe-laying, and road construction, blast furnaces and mines were among the subjects explored by the printmakers associated with these programs. Some printmakers chose to examine the social issues of American industry, while others looked to the industrial landscape as the genesis for abstraction.

No claim is made to a presenta­ tion of new material but the new arrangement makes available in convenient and inexpensive form a connected account of events in the early history of the North Pacific Coast. The book is well illustrated and contains seven maps. It is particularly well adapt­ ed to school use but is worthy of a place in libraries, public or private. Five tales of maritime adventure from log books and orginal narratives compose the volume entitled The Sea} The Ship, and the Sailor. Two are of special interest to students of the Pacific Northwest. One of these is a reprint of The Life and Adventures of John Nicol (Edinburgh, Blackwoods, 1822) a rare volume growing out of the voyage of Portlock and Dixon. The other is the first printing of a manuscript entitled : Narrative of Events in the Life of John Bartlett of Boston, Massachusetts, in the years 1790-1793} During Voyages to Canton and the Northwest Coast of North America. The narrative gives new information and its value is enhanced by notes supplied by his honour, Judge F. W. Howay. CHARLES W. SMITH. Fort Union and Its Neighbors on the Upper Missouri. By FRANK B.

  • Theodore Roosevelt's Big-Stick Policy
    THEODORE ROOSEVELT'S BIG-STICK POLICY - In 1901, only a few months after being inaugurated president for a second time, McKinley was killed by an anarchist - Succeeding him was the vice president-the young expansionist and hero of the Spanish-American War, Theodore Roosevelt - Describing his foreign policy, the new president had once said that it was his motto to "speak softly and carry a big stick" - The press therefore applied the label "big stick" to Roosevelt's aggressive foreign policy - By acting decisively in a number of situations, Roosevelt attempted to build the reputation of the U.S. as a world power - Imperialists liked him, but critics of the big-stick policy disliked breaking from the tradition of noninvolvement in global politics THE PANAMA CANAL - As a result of the Spanish-American War, the new American empire stretched from Puerto Rico to the Philippines in the Pacific - As a strategy for holding these islands, the U.S. needed a canal in Central America to connect the Atlantic & Pacific Oceans REVOLUTION IN PANAMA - Roosevelt was eager to begin the construction of a canal through the narrow but rugged terrain of the isthmus of Panama - He was frustrated that Colombia controlled Panama & refused to agree to U.S. terms for digging the canal through Panama - Losing patience with Colombia, Roosevelt supported a revolt in Panama in 1903 - With U.S. backing, the rebellion succeeded immediately and almost without bloodshed - The first act of the new gov't of independent Panama was to sign a treaty (the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty of 1903) granting the U.S.

  • The Square Deal
    Teddy Roosevelt - The Trust Buster Teddy Roosevelt was one American who believed a revolution was coming. He believed Wall Street financiers and powerful trust titans to be acting foolishly. He believed that large trusts and monopolies were harmful to the economy and especially to the consumer. While they were eating off fancy china on mahogany tables in marble dining rooms, the masses were roughing it. There seemed to be no limit to greed. If docking wages would increase profits, it was done. If higher railroad rates put more gold in their coffers, it was done. How much was enough, Roosevelt wondered? The President's weapon was the Sherman Antitrust Act, passed by Congress in 1890. This law declared illegal all combinations "in restraint of trade." For the first twelve years of its existence, the Sherman Act was a paper tiger. United States courts routinely sided with business when any enforcement of the Act was attempted. 1. What belief guided President Theodore Roosevelt’s efforts as a trustbuster? 2. What is a monopoly? Why are they harmful to the economy and to the consumer? 3. What piece of legislation did Roosevelt use to break up monopolies? The Square Deal The Square Deal was Roosevelt's domestic program formed on three basic ideas: conservation of natural resources, control of corporations, and consumer protection. In general, the Square Deal attacked plutocracy and bad trusts while simultaneously protecting businesses from the most extreme demands of organized labor. In contrast to his predecessor William McKinley, Roosevelt believed that such government action was necessary to mitigate social evil, and as president denounced “the representatives of predatory wealth” as guilty of “all forms of iniquity from the oppression of wage workers to defrauding the public." Trusts and monopolies became the primary target of Square Deal legislation.
