tly is to export the cotton from the

such a route would involve consider.
able handling, ii is believed that il
would be much cheaper than TO haul

event Hat the buildin. of either OF

Tho opening OF The Nicaragua Can
al would afford New Orleaus direG
connections by water with all parts
Of thc Orient, and would bring Amer
lean cotton into direct competition
with that OF India for consumption in
Japan. Not only would the South be
enabled TO sell great quantities Of raw
cotton, bu' of the manufactured pro.
duet as well, is il l., not TO be feared
that Japan would be ever able to SUP
ply the immense demand OF The Orient,
This is one OF the practical benefits |
hat the construction OF the Nicaragua
would confer.on the South, and
a strong argument why Congress
should be urged to take prompt action
to secure the construction of the can.
