CONTEMPORARY OPINION
JAPAN AND TIE CANAL


The rumor that the Mikado's govern
ment has designs upon the Nicaragua
canal and has even been secretly ne
gobiating with "the Diet of the Greater
Republic of Central America" on the
subject is leading to various contradic-
tory explanations. From officials of the
Maritime Canal Company, which is of
course largely interested in the mat
ter, has come an opinion that Japan
has made propositions of some sort, al
though 1t is added that no arrangement
based on them would be valid against
the Maritime Canal COmpanys grants
from Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
On the other hand, President Zelaya.
of Nicaragua, is credited with the
statement that no propositions have
been made by Japan to take the canal
out of our hands, or to have anything
to do with it, nor has the Diet, at is
session which opened last month in
Managua, discussed the subject.
But our Washington dispatches give
a third version of the story, namely.
that the Central American authorities
sought to enlist the aid of Japan in
building the canal, or in guaranteeing
its neutrality, or both. and were met by
Japan frank response lnaL Sne would
do nothing without our consent and
sanction, as she fully recognized the
Monroe doctrine.
This last Interpretation of the affair
at least conforms with the statement
from Managua that Japan had made nc
offer. The real question then left is as
to whether the ambitious Greater Re-
public OF Central America has made
tentative suggestions, thus committing
a grave error. No wonder that Presi-
dent Zelaya hastens to declare that Mic
aragua would like TO have the cana
built either by the United States or by
private enterprise.
1t is enough to say that under the
grants made by Nicaragua to American
citizens. which have been the subject oi
action by our Congress, Nicaragua i.
not at liberty to deal with Japan il
this matter. The great waterway will
be built, and the one sure thing is tha
neither Japan nor any other country
beyond the seas will have anything tC
do with it's control.-New York Sun.

ALASKAN GOLD.

1t is a little premature to talk of the
supply of gold from Alaska promising
to rival in amount that yielded by
California half a century ago. Begin
ming with 1S49, the Californian gold
produce stood for ten years at between
$50, 600 600 and $50. 900 600, and, count
ing the probable yield on both sides Of
the line, there is no evidence that from
the banks of the Yukon and its tribu-
taries we are likely to get any such
sum. The general conditions are un-
dOubtedly there, and what De guile
wrote of California may be said with
but slight change of the gold fields of
the far North: For unfold ages be-
fore the foot of the first white man
pressed in the soil, Dame Nature had
been playing miner in all the noun
tains OF that country. Countless mill
lions of tons of auriferous gravel and
earth had been sluiced down through
every gulch, canyon, creek and river
