President Roosevelt looks at two different men, trying to decide what to do. “Colombia” tugs on his overcoat and points to a sign that reads, “This fine canal concession absolutely free.” “Panama” has a crossed off tag that reads, “canal concession only $10,000,000,” and points to another sign: “$10,000,000 to be given away with this canal concession.”
