The Obligations of the United States as to Panama Canal Tolls: Speech of Hon. Elihu Root of New York in the Senate of the United States, January 21, 1913
Washington, D.C. Government Printing Office, 1913. Paperback. 31, [1] p.; 24 cm. Pamphlet with cover title. Senator Elihu Root argues persuasively against exempting American vessels passing through the Panama Canal from paying the tolls charged on other vessels. After much debate, the canal act was amended and, from the official opening of the Panama Canal in 1914, American vessels using the canal were treated the same as those of other nations. Elihu Root was a leader in the fight to keep the United States from granting itself a special advantage in relation to the canal.
