Excerpt from Colombia: Physical Features, Natural Resources, Means of Communication, Manufactures and Industrial Development The Opening of the Panama Canal this year means the beginning of a new commercial era for Colombia, which is one of the nations most favoured by this inter-oceanic highway. The sea journey between Buenaventura and Cartagena, which to-day occupies three months, will be reduced to four days. The opening of the Canal and the extension of the Pacific railway to the capital of the Republic will give to the country the full advantages of her geographical position, making her importance in the Pacific more than equal to that in the Caribbean Sea. The Pacific coast of Colombia is at present but little known. The valley of the Cauca, the basin of the Atrato, the territories watered by the San Juan and the Patia will now attract the capital, which has up to the present only been invested With much hesitation. It is not difficult to find the reason why Colombia has been less known than other South American nations: the principal reason has been the frequent change of name. The foreign capitalist was confronted with the difficulty of the name. When he wished to study the country with the idea of investing in it his own money or that of others, there was a sense of insecurity. The disturbances in New Granada had a bad effect on the development of the United States of Colombia; and when the Republic came to assume the name of Colombia, the name caused difficulties owing to its somewhat common occurrence.
