The First Spooner Act of 1902 (aka Panama Canal Act, 32 Stat. 481 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.archives.gov/research/guide-fed-records/groups/185.html )〕 ) was written by Wisconsin senator John Coit Spooner, enacted on June 28, 1902, and signed by Roosevelt the following day. It authorized purchasing the assets of a French syndicate called the ''Compagnie Nouvelle du Canal de Panama'', provided that a treaty could be negotiated with the Republic of Colombia. The syndicate, headed by Philippe-Jean Bunau-Varilla, sold at a price reduced from $110 million to only $40 million. US lawyer William Nelson Cromwell subsequently got a $800,000 commission for his lobbying. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】)">url=http://www.historycentral.com/documents/PanamaCanalact.html )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pancanal.com/eng/history/history/american.html )〕 The Spooner Act is followed by the Hay–Bunau-Varilla Treaty of Nov. 18, 1903. ==See also== * History of the Panama Canal * Panama Canal Railway * Ferdinand de Lesseps 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spooner Act」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
