SIGNED AUTOGRAPH ENVOIY "to Monsieur Jules Madeline, President of "Le Matin". Please accept this book as a token of my friendship. Its philosophical purpose is to teach that truth is to be found in facts, not opinions. As such, it will correspond to the tendencies of your mind... April 25, 1913." EXAMPLE ENRICHED WITH AN AUTOGRAPHIC LETTER SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR to Jules Madeline: "You have kindly contributed to the cordial and flattering demonstration by which my friends have wished to celebrate the happy outcome of my efforts to save the glorious Panama venture from shameful oblivion and to render to French genius the justice due to its prodigious creation..." (Paris, February 22, 1928). ONE OF THE FATHERS OF THE PANAMA CANAL, PHILIPPE BUNAU-VARILLA, had worked as an engineer alongside Ferdinand de Lesseps, and went on to become Managing Director of the Compagnie universelle du canal interocéanique de Panamá. After the financial scandal, it was he and his brother Maurice who successfully revived the project by securing American support. Philippe Bunau-Varilla and his brother invested part of their earnings in the press, notably in Le Matin, of which they took control - ironically, this newspaper had been owned by Alfred Edwards, implicated in the Panamá affair.
