What the Canal Treaty Contains.

A notable feature OF the message is
its reference to the new treaty negotiated
by Secretary HAY and Lord PAUNoEFoTE
and now TO be considered by the Senate.
We get from Mr.. ROOSEVELT the first
official and authoritative statement OF
what has been accomplished by the
negotiations so manfully and patiently
and patrioticaly renewed by Mr.. HAY
after his first disappointment. The Presi-
dent says:
In this treaty the old Clayton -Bulwer Treaty.
so long recognIed inadequate 10 supply the base
for the construction and maintenance OF a neces-
sarily American canal. Is abrogated. il specin-
oally provides that tue United States alone shall
do the work OF building and assume the responsl =
blity OF safeguarding the canal and shall regulate
It's neutral use b. all nations on terms OF equality
without the guarantee or interference OF any out
side nation from any quarter"
IL the new treaty does that, it will be
satisfactory to American sentiment.
The main objections TO the proposed
treaty of last year we're three:
/. 1t did not push the defunct Clayton
Bulwer Treaty out of the way.
2. 1t put the guarantee Of the canals
neutrality in the hands of a concert or
syndicate of outside nations,
3. 1t denied this nations right to for
tify, if it saw fit to fortify; it proposed
a canal which might be made TO facilitate
war upon the canals owner
On these grounds THE Sun opposed
the ratification of last years treaty.
Among the earliest to take the same
position against its ratification was the
Hon. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. then Gov
ernor of New York. He said
i most earnestly hope that the pending treaty
concerning the ISthm an canal Will not be ratified.
unless amended 80 as 10 provide that the canal
when built shall he wholly under the control ~ the
United states alike IN peace and var. This seems
70 m. vital no less from the standpoint Of our see
mower than from IN, standpoint OF the Monros
Doctrine
II was vital; and IL Is a not uninter-
esting circumstances that the American
who made that patriotic declaration, and
expressed that hope, should now be the
one 20 announce 20 the country bis and
our hopes full realization

-.der.l control Of state-chartered cor

Federal control Of State-chartered cor
poratiors and enforced publicity for the
business Of certain financial and COM
mercial concerns, the President has
wisely confined himself for most part
within the limits OF intelligent academic
discussion. He goes no further than
to intimate his personal belief that a
law could be framed which would en-
able the National Government to ex-
ercise control on the lines indicated,
or as he says in another place, proper
governmental supervision; but he
admits that Congress may judge that
It lacks the Constitutional power TO pass
such an act. In that case the President
thinks that a Constitutional amend
ment ought to be submitted TO the States
for ratification.
One Of the most far-reaching qucs-
tions touched upon in the message is
that OF inaugurating a national system
Of irrigation. The President rightly
says that it Is momentous." The
extent to which IL will affect the Gov
ernment's finances in the future, If tho
gigantic work is undertaken as a ma
tional enterprise, is barely indicated
by Mr.. RoosEvELT's incidental state
ment that more than two hundred mil
lion dollars have already been expended
by private capital in the construction
Of irrigating plants for the reclamation
OF arid lands.
We heartily commend the foresight
OF the Presidents suggestion that any
such work, if entered upon by the United
States Government, should be kept " free
from the least taint Of excessive or
reckless expenditure Of the public
moneys" The job is capable OF be-
coming q Frankenstein. 1t is capable
of starting a regular drain on the Treas
ury beside which a dozen River and
Harbor bills rolled into one stupendous
annual measure would be insignificant;
beside which the present pension ex-
penditure Of the Government would
seem a bagatelle.
Long as is Mr.. RoosEvELT's first
annual communication TO the Congress,
it is by no means hard reading. This
is due TO the clearness Of his style, the
incisiveness Of his thought, and, not
least OF all, the spirit of honest, patri-
otic endeavor manifest throughout its
many periods.
