cusses the Nicaragua canal at some
length. He says in part:
Il believe it opportune to say now that
they agitate this question warmly in the
United States; that government has
the best disposition to enter into ar
rangements with the old construction
company, notwithstanding that they per-
haps. for causes Independent of their
will, were not able to comply with one
of the principal stipulatlons of the con-
tract, which was the cutting of the canal.
But it rests with Americans, with whom
our commercial relations have been very
close. The worlds commerce needs it.
Nicaragua will aggrandize herself with
| the opening of this canal, and for these
considerations the government is ami
mated with the best intentions in favor

| The president concludes as follows: 81
