the United states. Il prevented this
country from constructing the canal on
It's own account. IL subjected this

American republic to the supervision OF

rights against this country which Mr..
Edmunds says she has not, and which

gives the arbitration treaty a bearing
upon the canal which must be regarded
as Incompatible with American inter
ests.
A radical solution Ot this difficulty is,
however, suggested, 1t does not lie in
the rejection OF the arbitration or IN

ARBITRATION AND THE CANAL.

OF all the specific objections thus far
made against the pending arbitration
treaty with Great Britain the most Sc
rious is that - would imperil American
control of 1.-THE Nicaragua Canal, says
the New York Tribune. That, IL true,
might well be deemed sufficient cause
for radically amending, If not rejecting
the treaty. This nation would not be
nleased to see a canal connecting its
own Atlantic and Pacific coasts con-
sruiIed in whole or in part by an alien
mower. Whether such a canal should
be constructed at all is a question open
for fair dispute; but II Il be constructed
there Is no doubt that 1t should be
under the control of this country, whose
interests would be affected by 1t vastly
more than those OF any and all other
nations. 1t is necessary. therefore to
consider what bearing this treaty would
or could have upon the control OF the
canal. Ex-senator Edmunds. in an in
cisiye discussion Of the matter. holds
that IL MOuhl VI 'eAaN 49,
ty submits TO arbitration nothing but
matters in difference in respect TO
(which either of the high contracting
parties shall have rights against the
other" and. according TO the legal
definition of the term. Great Britain
could claim no rights against the Unit
ed States in regard 10 the latter's op-
srations in Central America, any more
than the United States could have
against Great Britain in regard to Brit
tsh operations in Abyssinia. That logic
seems irrefutable and conclusive, and
is. on the face of it. But there is just
this flaw in it, that this country has In
terms, by solemn treaty. given and con-
eeded to Great Britain those very rights
which. under international law, the lat
ter never could have acquired. That is
the troublesome objection which gives
force to this objection to the treaty
Half a century ago. when the con-
structiOn Of the canal was being consid-
cred. Great Britain made some preten-
sion TO ownership of the Nicaraguah
coast LANDS where the eastern terminus
Of the canal must be. The pretension
was bageIess. But the United States
instead Of boldly denying and resisting
it, contented itself with asking Grea1
Britain for permission to construct the
canal through the land in question
Great Britain refused, but offered tc
enter into a treaty for joint protec
torate over the canal. To this th'
United States weakly agreed, and the
notorious Clayton -Bulwer treaty Of 1851
was the result. Under that instrument
the two governments agreed that mel
rher should have any exclusive contro
