The recent proposition Of NJ Hutin, the president
OF the Panama Canal company that the United States
appoint special commissioner TO inspect the Panama
canal and appraise its value in cash absurd prop
osition NJ Hutin gives no valid reason why the
United States should go to this trouble and expense.
He does not bind his company sell the figure the
United States commissioner shall fix. at any other
figure or to sell at all Even il he did bind himself
sell he can sell only the plant and the work so far
done He can not sell the concessions The treaty be-
tween France and Colombia expressly forbds that
In that treaty there special clause prohibiting the

port that the legal and diplomatic situation such as
to utterly preclude the consideration of the Panama
route by the government The report has actually
been made yet, but it has been given out that it

INDUSTRIAL pRE.EMlnsNoe OF THE UNITED

The recent plan of the French government to send
students from the French polytechnic schools to the
United States to study American business and indus
trial methods is striking instance of European recog
milton OF American progress Similar plans have been
preached in England and in Germany and have been
received with favor in those countries. The scheme in
France originated with NJ Mleraud minister OF com
merce and lis being carried ont by NJ. Bouquet, the
head the technical instruction department OF the
ministry of commerce. n. Bouquet says that France
realizes that America leads the in industrial
progress She is far ahead of England, Germany and
ourselves in organization and methods of work
France has been sending students in the past to Ger

tv inventive genius and marvellous organization which
have lifted the industrial world America above all

TO prove hoomerangs to the countries that indulge in
them. Customs unions between the European nations

posed, hut account of international rivalry have
never been carried out The French policy is far in
advance of any such measures Besides it is a spen-
