Guns No GOOD
ON THE CANAL
IF WE HAD HUNDREDS OF THEM
There.
NAVY THE ONLY PROTECTION
GOOD ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF
NEUTRALITY OF THE MICA
RAGUAN SHIP CANAL.
NAVY THE ONLY PROTECTION

New York. Feb. 2O.-"The isthmian
canal was the subject of discussion at
Il meeting OF the American Academy Of
Political and Social Science at Philadel-
phia last night. Prof. Emory r. johnson
Of the University of Pennsylvania, IA
member of the canal committee, spoke
upon ',rhe economic aspects of the
isthmian canal question and Col. Peter
G. Haines of the army, upon the 18TH
mian canal from military points of view.
Col. Haines is quoted in special to the
Tribune as saying:
IAN isthmian canal, to be of service
to the United States. presupposes that
passage of it, through it, and from it,
is assured. But passage to or from it
in case of war with a strong naval power
could only be maintained by strong
naval force. If the canal bristled with
guns from one end to the other, it would
be of no use to the United States, while
a powerful hostile fleet dominated the
Caribbean sea. The nation that controls
the adjoining seas will, in time of war,
control passage through the canal, no
matter which one has possession.
From a military standpoint the canal
is valuable only as a shortened line of
communication. 1t has no other value.
1t does not serve as a good base of op
power. No prudent naval commander
would hold a fleet in Lake Nicaragua or
Lake Bahia to spring out on the foe in
either ocean as has sometimes been
suggested. If our enemy be weak, it
would not be necessary; if strong, the
dangers of being bottled up are too
great.
Suppose, on the other hand, the canal
were neutral. 1t would not then become
a prize of war. Neither the maintenance
of an army to protect it nor of a fleet to
keep open communication with it would
be necessary. Great Britain might pos
sibly send ships through ii. but even that
is doubtful. The most that could be
gained by doing so is saving of time.
Under some circumstances this might
be an important matter. But the naval
| preponderance of Great Britain is such
that time would be of less Importance
to her than to us.
1T is believed in consideration of the
freedom of the canal extended by the
United States to the ships of all nations,
those nations would agree to an arrange
ment by which the region of the canal
and large areas of the 1eat at each ter
minus should be exempted from the op-
erations of war The larger these areas
Of neutrality, the better should such an
agreement be observed by any nation
that is party to it. The United States
could destroy the canal if necessary SO
as to render it impossible of use against
us. No nation except Great Britain
would wish to use the canal for any other
than peaceful purposes of commerce
and as she probably would have no
strong reason for using it in any other
way. it is not seen why such an agree
ment might not be made
