President Roosevelt encloses copies of his message about Panama. Matthew Hale had said that it was difficult to refute the statement that the revolution in Panama had been planned in Washington. Roosevelt believes that the burden of proof is on the person making that argument, and that statements about the date of his message about Panama are a lie. Roosevelt had planned to take the Isthmus through ethical and legal means before the revolution broke out.
