The Panama Canal was originally conceived as a highway for peaceful commerce between nations. The extensive use of the Canal by the vessels of many countries indicates that it has fulfilled such a function. At the same time the Canal has played a part in non-peaceful intercourse. It has facilitated the transportation of materials of war and of troops. It has enabled "vessels of war to move rapidly from ocean to ocean, thus affecting naval strategy. From the commencement of its undertaking the United States Government has regarded the Panama Canal as an instrument of national defense. These facts serve to underline the importance of the Canal to all maritime states in war as well as in peace.
