Excerpt from Workmen's Compensation: Address by Miles M. Dawson at Luncheon of Canadian Manufacturers Association, at McConkey's, Friday, March 6th, 1914 Mr. Dawson, after referring to various honors which had been conferred upon him in Canada, said: And last, but not least, I was given the opportunity by the Association which is giving the luncheon here to-day to appear before Sir William Meredith and present evidence to assist him in arriving at his conclusions as to what he would recommend to the Parliament of Ontario. And new again, just prior to a final decision on the part of the Government as to just precisely what form the Act which they are about to put before Parliament shall take, I am given another opportunity. I cannot say how much I appro ciate your being here to-day, realizing that all of you are busy people and that you would not turn out except for the purpose of considering matters of real, serious import to you and to your country.

The construction, maintenance, and defense of the Panama Canal brought Panamanians, U.S. soldiers and civilians, West Indians, Asians, and Latin Americans into close, even intimate, contact. In this lively and provocative social history, Michael E. Donoghue positions the Panama Canal Zone as an imperial borderland where U.S. power, culture, and ideology were projected and contested. Highlighting race as both an overt and underlying force that shaped life in and beyond the Zone, Donoghue details how local traditions and colonial policies interacted and frequently clashed. Panamanians responded to U.S. occupation with proclamations, protests, and everyday forms of resistance and acquiescence. Although U.S. "Zonians" and military personnel stigmatized Panamanians as racial inferiors, they also sought them out for service labor, contraband, sexual pleasure, and marriage. The Canal Zone, he concludes, reproduced classic colonial hierarchies of race, national identity, and gender, establishing a model for other U.S. bases and imperial outposts around the globe.
