Excerpt from America and the Canal Title: Or an Examination, Sifting and Interpretation of the Data Bearing on the Wresting of the Province of Panama From the Republic of Colombia by the Roosevelt Administration in 1903 in Order to Secure Title to the Canal Zone In this book the writer shows that the Roose ve1t Administration in 1903 collaborated with a small party of separatists on the Isthmus, Bunau Varilla acting as intermediary, for the purpose of devising a plan to wrest the Canal Zone and lit toral from the Republic of Colombia by force, and that it gave assurance to these separatists that it would protect secession in Panama. It did ac tually do the latter. In doing so, it (i) violated international law, (2) violated the Treaty of 1846, and 3) rent asunder a sister republic.

Prize Possession is a history of United States policy towards the Panama Canal, focusing principally on the first two generations of American tenure of the Canal Zone between 1904 and 1955. John Major also provides an extensive look at the nineteenth-century background, the making of the 1903 canal treaty with Panama, the move after 1955 towards the new treaty settlement of 1977, and the crucial significance of the Canal to American policy-makers and their public. The book is based for the most part on the hitherto largely untapped sources of US government agencies, namely, the State, War, and Navy Department, and the Canal Zone administration, as well as on the papers of notable dramatis personae such as Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt and Philippe Bunau-Varilla. As such it makes an important and original contribution to our knowledge and understanding of a subject which has not yet received its due from historians.
