TOPICS OF THE WEEK
MONAGHAN ON THE CANAL.

United States Consul James c. Mon
Afghan, whose reports from Chemnitz,
Germany, have won for him reputa-
ton throughout the industrial world,
expressed TO the International Com
mercial congress in Philadelphia re-
Gently his establishment that the
United States had not built the Mica
ragua canal fifty years ago. Even if
the canal were to cost $4,000 100000,
he said, it ought to be built. AS a
matter of fact, the Nicaragua canal
would cost barely one-twentieth OF
$4,000, 100000, and it was estimated
that it would save the commercial
world s4,O0O,OOO,O00 year. The only
reason that the canal has not been
built is that England has a standing
threat to make trouble if We do. Such
q canal would mean the end of Eng
lish domination of the seas. The Pa
cific railroads also oppose the canal.
On this great problem much will I'M
doubtedly be said in the political plat
forms of next year.
