Panama Canal Bill Becomes Law

THE House has accepted the Senate's canal bill, and on June 28 it became a law, President Roosevelt having affixed his signature on that date. This bill authorizes the building of a canal by the Panama route, in case President Roosevelt can secure clear title to the property and concessions of the French canal company; and in case he can not, the canal is to be built via Nicaragua Lake.
