President Roosevelt, in his annual message to Congress, praised the work that has been done and continues to be done on the Panama Canal. Many newspapers have published sensational articles alleging problems with the Gatun Dam in Panama, but these articles are contradicted by the facts, as the dam has not been constructed yet, and the work which has been done on it has been going smoothly.
