THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Why the United States Should Control 1t in
War Peace.

Why the United States Should Control It in
War or Peace.
Hsrper's Weekly.
In war or in peace the exclusive control
of this canal will be 10 ms of inestima BILE
value. For attacking or defending tho
coasts of our hemisphere, and the islands
adjacent thereto, 1t is more advantage0usy
situated than is Gibraltar for the Mediter-
ranean. As means of uniting the East
and the West. 1t will be of more value than
ls the Suez canal for uniting England with
India. The latter saves but s, COO miles,
while the Nicaragua canal saves 800 IN the
voyage from the gulf ports TO San Fran
cisco.
If we are to continue our policy of pro-
teotlng she smaller States of the two Amer
icas against the larger ones, and all of
them against foreign entertainment, we
must control the canal. We must also de-
fend our own country. Our Pacific coast
is nearly defenseless. From New York to
San Francisco lt Is thirteen thousand miles
by WATERFALL the circumference of the
gloDe. Between the same points by the
canal il Is only five thousand miles. From
New Orleans To San Francisco 1t is -, 500
miles. The canal will cut this distance
down TO four thousand miles. still
greater saving. Now England can hurl q
fleet against our Western ports by way OF
the Suez canal or from Australia. while
another fleet. with a base at home OF at
one of the numerous British stroDghOlds
along our Eastern coast. is threatening the
ports on the Atlantic.
Not only in war. but also In mpeting
for the commerce of the world. and es-
pecIaliy of the Western hemisphere, will
the nation controlling the Nicaragua canal
have an immense advantage. No trade
will flourish unless protected by the strOng
arm OF military power. and no better eK-
ample of this can be cited than that of
England. Where all the great nations of
the world meet in the canal and the nations
through whose territory it runs are SO MIS-
erably weak. the inevitable result will be
that IL will fall into the hands of some
great power. If that power be- not our
selves. then we may safely bid farwelI 20
military or commercial supremacy in
America. The golden moment Is now here
when possession is easy.
