ton. simply saying that all information

Morgan Talks ON the Treaty.
Senator Morgan talked to Mckinley this
morning about the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
and the Nicaragua canal After his visit
Senator Morgan said he was confident the
treaty would be ratified and provision
made for beginning work on the canal
There is always a lot OF mouthing
about anything Great Britain has hand
in" said Senator Morgan, but there is
not sufficient reason for 1t this time. One
OF the main grounds against the treaty Is
that in case of war the ships or the enc
my could go through the canal and at
tack the Pacific coast. Where would our
ships be all this timer Running away or
fighting? Why. they could pick their
ground for fight anywhere. and, for
that matter, could stay in the canal itself
and do their fighting. We have San Juan
on one side OF the canal and Pearl har-
Dor on the other That ought to be OF
great value to u.s.
