The Panama
Canal Question
Washington, June 7.—President
Roosevelt, as heretofore stated, will
“stand pat” on his recommendations
regarding the construction of the
Isthman Canal. He has no present
intention to insist further upon his
suggestion that a lock canal be con
structed, being convinced that legisla
tion. fn opposition to his recommenda
tion in favor of a lock canal is not at
all lllcely at the present session.
It is nearly a certainty that Con
gress will not take any action at this
Panama Canal. The majority of the
iBeoate Committee on Inter-Oceanic
* Canals has submitted a report in fav
or of the construction of a sea-level
water-way. The majority of the com
mittee wm induced to take this action
by reason of the San Francisco earth
quake. It was feared that, if a lock
canal were constructed, It might, at
some time, he seriously damaged and
perhaps ruined by a seismic disturb
ance. The committee considered the
consideration the recommendation of
President Roosevelt and the American
members of the engineer commission,
which exhaustively investigated the
subject; but, in the light of the cal
amity at San Francisco, which oc
curred subsequent to the President’s
recommendation, a majority, of the
committee favors the construction of
a lock canal. The members of the
minority are decidedly of the opin
ion that no disturbance of the kind
which wrecked San Francisco would
be at all likely to affect the canal
locks, inasmuch as they will have a
foundation of solid rock. Those found
ations, it is known, have not been dis
turbed in centuries by seismic con
vulsions and the advocates of the lock
canal regard it as extremely improb
able that any earthquake that may
occur will affect seriously the canal
construction. The fact is cited that,
while earthquakes occur frequently in
Central America, they 1 njever have
disturbed the canal zone.
It is urged, too, by the advocates
of the lock type of canal, that the
work of construction can be done in
years less time than the sea level
canal can be built. Secretary Taft, who
has maJe an exhaustive study of the
question, is convinced that, if a lock
canal be constructed, it can be com
pleted and in operation by July 1st,
1914. The cost, too, of a lock canal
will be appreciable less than that of
a sea-level waterway.
President may send to the Congress,
before the conclusion of the present
session, a special messabe in support
of his recommendation of a lock can
al. There is no probability that such
a special message will be submitted.
7a if will stand squarely on his previousj
{ /• ssage in which he recommend the
/instruction*of a lock canal.
It is reasonably certain that Con
gress will not aJopt the
Negro Boy Confesses Murder.
