Col. Goethals Makes a Report to His Bosses; Read It AVE you read the first installment of Col. Goethal’s own story of the Panama canal, which he built, in| today’s Star? | It was written especially for you to read and dissect. | And there is a very interesting story connected with this article that is a better index to the character of Goethals than anything we have ever heard. Ever since he has been in charge of the big job down) in Panama he has been importuned to write sorgething about | it for the magazines or the newspapers or both. The clamor for Goethals’ own story of the digging of the canal was tre- mendous. | Every offer was declined! No sum of money could tempt the man to break his silence—to take time from the job itself. HE BELIEVED HE WAS PUT THERE TO DIG THE CANAL AND HE, DECLARED OVER AND OVER AGAIN HE WOULD! He was offered fabulous sums to write it. LET OTHERS TELL ABOUT IT, BUT THAT HE HAD) TOO MUCH TO DO DOING IT. Now that the canal is nearing completion, Col. Goethals was told that he had talked to congress and to one or two scientific bodies about the canal, appropriations, explaining how appropriations were spent or! to correct criticism of some phase of the work. BUT HE NEVER TOLD THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ANYTHING ABOUT HOW HE WAS SPENDING THEIR MONEY.| for the purpose of getting HE WAS TOLD THAT THE PEOPLE HAD SOME IN- TEREST IN THE JOB AND THEY WANTED TO! KNOW. That is what broke down his reserve. That is what caused the story that appears in today’s paper to be written IT IS A REPORT BY COL. GOETHALS TO HIS BOSSES AS TO HOW HE HAS DONE THE WORK THEY SET HIM TO DO AND HOW HE SPENT THEIR MONEY READ IT!
