Canal Commission on the proposition Of
the Panama Canal Company to dispose
of its property to the United States for
S4o,ooo,ooo, has been delivered to Presi-
dent Roosevelt The members Of the
commission refuse to discuss the nature
of the report, and like reticence was
maintained at the White House, but it
was stated on excellent authority that
the report unanimously recommends that
the offer of the Panama Company be ac-
cepted
The report, it is stated, is very volumi-
nous, going into all phases of the ques-
tion and attempting to meet the objec-
tions that any legal complications will
arise out of the purchase or that there
will be any international differences
should the deal be consummated The re-

which must be taken in order to insure a
perfect title to the United States. for in
addition to the present Panama Canal
Company, the old organization and the
Colombian government must be reckon
ed with. The report finds however, it is
said, that the new company can give a
clear title. 1t is stated that the report
says that when the commission made its
recent report, favoring the Ncaraugan
route, no offer to sell to this government
had been made by the Panama Company
The offer of S4ooooooo made in behalf
of the company by NJ Lampne, it is said,
changed the situation completely 1t is
further stated that the report shows
little over 900 shares of Panama Rail
road stock is owned by individuals out
side the Panama Canal Company, and
that these can be purchased for a COM
paratively small sum. Other obstacles
to the sale, the report says, also have
been removed.
