NICARAGUA AND PANAMA ROUTES.
The Commission concludes with a careful COM
parison OF the Nicaragua and Panama routes. Il
shows thar distances between Atlantic and Pacific
ports are shorter by the Nicaragua than the Pana-
ma route. This is IN part Offset by the increased
time IN getting through the Nicaragua Canal The
latter route is reported TO be more favorable for
sailing vessels. The Nicaragua route is also re-
garaed as advantageous through its development
OF the country through which II passes is point
ed out that the Panama concession now held BY the
French company prohibits q eession OF rights 10

sion is limited that II the United States acquired
Il there would not be absolute ownership in

canal shall pass 10 Colombia after ninety-nine

resulted in no ofer 20 dispose OF the property 10
the United States any terms, nor had the COM
pany expressed any desire to negotiate with the
United States with reference TO such a disposition
II was proposed by President Hutin that the
United States might obtain control OF the canal
scheme a majority stockholder OF a new or
ganizaton. The company prefers however 10 be
rencorporated in the United States. and accord
10 this Government such representation on It's
Board OF Directors and such purchase OF interest
as its concessions permitted.
The final conclusions OF the Commission are as
follows:
First-The estimated cost OF building the Mica
ragua Canal is about SIS 900 coo more than that OF
completing the Panama Canal, leaving out the cost
of acquiring the latter property. This ths
difference Ia the magnitude OF the obstacles TO be
overcome IN the actual construction OF the two
