President Roosevelt sits at a desk pondering the Philippine and Central American issues. Papers on his desk read, “Philippine Policy,” “Panama Canal Treaty,” and “Mastery of the Hemisphere.” He imagines a statue of Abraham Lincoln, around which are vignettes showing Roosevelt denying the “Philippine Petition for Freedom,” using force against Colombia at the Panama Canal, menacing South America and Central America with a big club, and standing with arms folded across his chest, wearing imperial robes and a crown.
