REPORT ON CANAL Bill
CONGRESSMAN Hepburn Presents
Report Of Committee Having
Measure in Charge.
Recommends That Congress-
Take Immediate Steps to
Build the Canal.
Says All Political Parties and All
the People Want the
Waterway.

washington, Dec. 19.-Representative
Hepburn, of Iowa, chairman of the
house committee on commerce, today
made the report of the committee in ia
vor Of the Nicaragua canal bill. After
stating the terms Of the bill, the report
says In part:
''The purpose OF this bill is to concen-
xrate authority and responsibility for
the construction Of this great work In
the hands Of the president. 1t has been
decided by your committee that this
4 course would be the safer one to be pur-
sued in carrying out the purposes OF the
Bill involving the expenditure of so large
q sum OF money, all of the work and all
the expenditure to be made at distance
60 far from the capital, than any other
method that could be devised. We have
tried to concentrate authority and re-
gponsIbility rather than to disperse 1t
among many persons.
The report refers to the exhaustive
report made by the isthmian commits
sion, Of which Admiral Walker Is the
head, In which every feature of this en-
4 terprise is fully and at length dis
cursed" and adds:
..No doubt is expressed by the COM
mission as to the practicability Of the
enterprise: on the contrary, they join
with score OF predecessors in express
ing their belief that the work can be
carried to successful termination
within the limits OF reasonable cost and
reasonable time. All great political par
ties are committed to the policy of the
construction OF this canal"
The report then quotes the declaration
Of various party platforms and Presi-
dents Mckinley and Roosevelt favoring
the canal.
In conclusion 1t says: I'm view of the
many thousands Of pages written and
spoken In advocacy OF the immediate
un .aking and completion of this
work; in view of the recommendations
uanaee tv the president of the United
States, and in view Of the almost uni
yerral demand of the American people
that congress should at once do some
thing efrective IN inauguration and
speedy completion of the isthmtan ca
nal, your committee content themselves
with this brief report, embodying their
earnest Recommendation that the bill
pass.
