MEX100 AND THE CANAL.
Newspapers Point Out Advantages
of Proposed waterway.


of Proposed waterway.
City Of Mexico, Feb 14-El NIundi
the organ of the Liberal party now in
power here, comments on the adoption OF
the Nicaragua canal project by the Amer
lean congress and says:
Mexico, like all Latin-American coun-
tries having territory on the Pacific, is
bound to be benefited by the canal. Mex
leo will be able TO export from her Pacific
coast large quantities of ore, cabinet
woods and dye wood, but that is all be-
cause coffee in general has a discourag-
ing and restricted outlook in Mexico and
expectation of Mexican sugar is impos-
sible in commercial sense. As regards
i importations, Mexico will be able to re-
ceive By the Nicaraguan canal good and
abundant supply of coal through its Pa
cific ports as well as European commodi-
ties of all kinds, so that the Nicaraguan
canal will be a serious competitor to our
internal railroads. But more, the fact
that the canal will enable us largely to
increase our exports of ore is sufficient
evidence that it will be highly advan-
tageous to us.
From a purely political point of view
the Nicaragua canal, seyering. as it will,
North and Central from South America,
will indefinitely be bar to all plans of
military solidarity OF the Latin-American
nations-a solidarity which many persons
have believed possible by great railway
extending from Mexico to Patagonia or
TERRA del Fuego. The canal will harm
Europe in that it will render possible
American control of the trade of Peru,
Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia and great
part of Chile as well as central and east
ern Asia, and will establish the fiercest
kind of competition between American
and European merchandise.
There is no doubt that the Nicaraguan
canal will greatly further the commerce
and diplomatic influence OF the United
States. However, it is good thing that
no such canal has ever been opened
across Mexican territory, for the weak
nation that is crossed by an interoceanic
canal loses either 4 portion of its terri
tory or a large part of its sovereignty"
The Mexican Herald says that by the
construction of the canal the United
States extends its southern coast line far
to the south and that the "Nnal will be
the means of making the Ss ;ican west
eln coast perts prosperous ID will ena-
bic Mexico to build mp its Pacific coast
IN preparation for sharing in the com
merce which IL to FILL the Pacific ocean,
as was predicted by Seward, whose poll
cy President Mckinley is consistently
carrying out.
