Senator Daniel made a speech
against the Nicaragua Canal bill
this week, opening with this dra-
matte languages: "The bill is deAd.
The speech of Senator Turpie kill
led it, and Minister Rodriguez has
exposed its corpse in the public
morgue." He expressed doubts as
to whether the canal would be a
commercial benefit to the U. S. if
1t were constructed, and declared
that the passage Of the pending
bill would in effect put the u. $.
into the bunco business. He fur
Their pointed out that after pouring
the proposed hundred million dol
lars into the canal the U. s. could
not maintain exclusive control over
it. Independent of the Clayton
Buiwer treaty between the u. s.
and England, there is treaty be-
tween England and Nicaragua th,t
gives the armies and navies of En-
gland free access to the canal. The
speech OF Senator Daniel was made
after Senator Morgan had introd
uced amendments to the Canal bill
intended to meet objections raised
by Minister Rodriguez in behalf of
Nicaragua. It's generally believed
in Washington that Senator Daniel
was right when be declared the bill
dead.
