Panama Canal

This political cartoon is about the Panama Canal. I know this because it says Panama on the wagon with shovels. The cartoonist's message on this tissue is that Roosevelt would do anything to create the Panama Canal,which means Panama or bust. He is running over the treaty, international law, the Colombian protest, and lastly, precedent. Other opinions for this cartoon may be that Roosevelt is a good person for breaking all of this trusts or documents. The Panama Canal is good for the U.S. although he is breaking the items. One technique being used is labeling and I know this because it is explaining what he is rolling over the treaty and why he is doing it. Another technique is exaggeration and I know this because Roosevelt is using an elephant that is in the air to pull his wagon. This is negative because Panama or Bust means he will do anything to create the Panama Canal. So this doesn't support my position on American Imperialism.
