that in request from the State Department
for his opinion on the Panama Canal pro-
iect, Minister Dichman reported unfavorably
to that enterprise. He says the poiitl-
cal condition of the Republic is not such
as to warrant the investment of many NIL

Panama may secede from the Colombian Union;
that the contract is unsatisfactory and the organ
zation of the company is purely French. lie lndl-
Gates that contentious may arise between the
canal company and the Colombian Government
cataiing annoyance to the United States, and that
shippers would find it virtually impossible to

rising from distance alone He also observes
that tie more this subject OF the
