England Is Smoothing the Way For
Accepting the Canal Treaty.

Accepting the Canal Treaty.
New York. Jan 15-A Tribune dis
patch from London says
China questions being more urgent, in
view Of the signing DC the agreement
by Prince Ching and Earl Ii, it Is not
considered probable at the American
embassy that the foreign Office will take
decisive action upon the amended canal
treaty this week The rejection of the
amendments will be an unpleasant sur
prise if it be brought about There is,
however. no definite assurance that the
amendments win either be accepted or
rejected. but there is a hopeful feeling
that the foreign Office will take advant-
age OF a favorable opportunity for
bringing fifty years Of controversy to
en- end and promoting good feeling be-
tween the two countries There would
be little doubt that the changes in the
text would be sanctioned if the Davis
amendments were out of the way. This
is the chief obstacle because it is aca-
dernic in form and vague in application,
vet on parallel lines with the Suez con-
vention- England by virtue Of political
control at Cairo would close the Suez
if Lord CrOu1er were instructed to do
so. and this policy might be dictated
by self defense if a hostile fleet were on
the way to India The foreign office
the American government had sug-
gested that course during the war with
Spain. NO request was made, and Ad-
mfral Camara went through the canal
and returned when he found that the
fleet could not reach the Philippine ISL
ands. Lord Cromer might have pre-
vented either passage If he had been
directed to do so. The same powers, re-
served under the Davis amendment for
America in emergency, will vir-
tually be retained by England over the
Suez canal SO long a. Egypt remains
under her political control.
