The Hay-Pauncefote Treaty concerning the Panama Canal seemed to many of us unsatisfactory. Senator Elkins told me my objections, given in the "New York Tribune," reached him the day he was to speak upon it, and were useful. Visiting Washington soon after the article appeared, I went with Senator Hanna to the White House early in the morning and found the President much exercised over the Senate's amendment to the treaty. I had no doubt of Britain's prompt acquiescence in the Senate's requirements, and said so. Anything in reason she would give, since it was we who had to furnish the funds for the work from which she would be, next to ourselves, the greatest gainer.

白话
关于巴拿马运河的《海-庞斯福特条约》，卡内基和不少人都觉得不够满意。参议员埃尔金斯告诉他，自己在《纽约论坛报》上读到卡内基的反对意见，正好是发言当天，很管用。后来卡内基到华盛顿，和参议员汉纳一早去白宫，见总统正为参议院对条约的修正案发愁。卡内基却笃定英国会很快接受参议院的要求，因为开凿运河的钱主要由美国出，英国是仅次于美国的受益者，讲道理的条件英国没有理由不接受。
上下文
19世纪末20世纪初，美国与英国谈判巴拿马运河的控制权。卡内基以私人身份在报纸上发声，并直接向政要表达看法。
今日一问
当你对公共事务有不同意见时，是私下抱怨，还是像卡内基那样公开写出来并推动改变？
