TIME FOR TALK
ON new CANAL.
Continued from First Page.)

proyfdins for the construction of the
canal was deferred
Senator Morsan's report covers more
than 800 pages of printed matter and
deals with many of the questions con-
racted with the construction Of the canal.
including a thorough inquiry into the
attitude of Great Britain upon the sub
iect and the different canal routes. He
also discusses the relationship of the
Panama Canal Company to the construc-
ton bv the United States OF q water
way across the isthmus. and While he
makes reference to a letter written by
President Hutin, of the Panama Canal
Company, to Secretary OF state HAY,
he does not give the text OF the COM
munication.
Referring to the Panama Canal Com
pany, it says:
This company in a previous admins
traton has succeeded, in obtaining the
resignation of a secretary of the navy
to accept q nominal position III their
service st a large salary and expended
81 800 900 in New York chiefly in acquir-
ing the aid of leading business houses in
promoting the DeLesseps plan without a
dollar of stock being subscribed III that
city.
s'rhe desperate financial straits of the
new Panama Canal Company compelled
them to make overtures to the United
States to unload their enterprise on the
United States and their agents became
accordingly aggressive in this effort
Z nee Introductory pages of the report
contain q general review Of the import
ance of the construction OF an isthmlar
canal and in the second paragraph OF
the report it is declared that the fail
ure to accomplish this work would ere
ate a feelis of national despair.
Senator Morgan attributes the failure
to construct the canal in the past to the
attitude of other nations. saying: For
tluencc of the British Government, aidet
by combinations. III the United States
and France, has defeated all efforts tt
open an American isthmian canal.
He asserts that Great Britain's contro

tense to ho.. US until she ha accom-
plished her greater policy relating t
the Suez canal.
The ma .jor portion of the report was
made before the new tHay-Pauncefot'
treaty had been promulgated, but in al
appendix the following reference Is mad'
to that treaty:
