Amid all the childish snarling of "Spigoties," the back-biting of Europe, the congressional wrangles, the Cabinet politics, the man on the job, "the Colonel," the average American, the "rough-neck" goes right on digging the canal day by day as if he had never heard a rumor of all this outside noise. Mighty is the job from one point of view; yet tiny from another.
It was my first entrance into the land of the panamenos, technically known on the Zone as "Spigoties," and familiarly, with a tinge of despite, as "Spigs"; because the first Americans to arrive in the land found a few natives and cabmen who claimed to "Speaga dee Eng-leesh." To Americans direct from the States Panama city ranks still as rather a miserable dawdling village.
