NICARAGUA CANAL PROJECT.
The Great Waterway TO Unite the

New York May PA dispatch, to the
World from Washington says:
Congress will soon be called upon to de-

Meeting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
Chairman Davis of the senate foreign re-
lations committee said:
"The need for action between the At
lantic and Pacific can not be questioned
Our interests demand it. With canal
between the two oceans we would have
nothing to fear from an attack on our
Pacific coast. As it is it would take us 60
days to send our fleet around the Horn to
the Pacific coast cities. With the canal
we could dispach men-of-war to San Fran
cisco from New York in IA days. With
a liberal appropriation-say $iOO,OOO,OOO
"a canal could be constructed through
Nicaragua that would be of great value
to this government for all time to come.
The Maritime Canal Company, which is
endeavoring to sell its interests to the
government, started the canal some time
ago and considerable work was done, but
the hard times of 1928 came along and
struck a death blow to the enterprise
iHlS COMPANY suCceeueu III SeIIllS certain
concessions, which it still retains, and it
