The question has changed radically since that
report was submitted 1t is now merely this: +:
Does the Nicaragua route over such manifest
advantages of situation, of facility of transit, of
convenience of navigation, of desirability to our
own commerce and the commerce of the world,
as to render it the preferable route at cost Of
nearly forty million dollars over Panama.?
Common business sense demands that the new
proposition shall have fair hearing, and that

LITERARY NOTES.
COSMOPOLITAN,

If THE old saying, GAIL the world loves a
lover" is true then the fiction in THE CosMo-
PoLrrAN for January should be popular, indeed.
All the stories vary in treatment, plot and ac-
ton, from FRANCES CoURTENAY BAYLOR's
charming story, "Cupids Proctical Joke" to
MAARrEN MARTENS strong domestic tragedy,
"Her Fathers Wife," but all have love for
central theme.

AT OUR OWN PRICE.

/NHE New Panama Canal Company has
Il now made a straightforward proposal to
sell to the United States its rights and properties
on the Isthmus, including the Panama Railroad,
for forty million dollars
That is to say, the company will sell at our
own price. This is the valuation put upon the
property by the Isthmian Canal Commission
consisting of ten American citizens, most ofthem
engineers of distinction. There is no reason to
doubt the good faith of the offer on the part of
the French company. There is no question as
to what the offer of sale covers. 1t throws
upon us nothing in the way of antiquated or
worn-out machinery which we do not want.
That part of the plant which seems to the Com
mission to be of doubtful value was excluded
from its torty-mllion estimate; and the present
conditions of the estimates of the Commission"
If our Government should decide to buy at the
price named, it would know in advance from
the report and inventories of its own Commits
sioners, exactly what it was getting; and the
only further examination required would be the
ordinary process of search of title
We repeat that this definite, if tardy, reduc-
tion from sos, ,l41 800 to S4O,OOO,OOO in the
price asked for Panama wi pes out absolutely the
advantage which the Nicaragua route possessed
in the comparative estimates of the Commission
as to cost of construction. Instead of being the
more expensive route by S63,51O,OOO Panama
becomes the cheaper by S5,630,00O at first cost
If we take into consideration the Commissions
estimate that it will cost 81 100000 more every
orss .r:, to maintain aud operate Nicaragua than
Panama, and capitalize on four per cent. basis

financial question assumes this impressive aspect:

The Panama Canal 1928, ,35S
Difference in favor of Panama S3S, l3O, ,7O4
The Commissions recommendation of Mic
aragua as "the most practicable and feasible
route" was specifically based upon the fact that
the price then asked for Panama made Nicaragua
the cheaper route by the enormous sum of
S63, 100000. 1t is difficult to read the dis
cussion by the American Commissioners of the
advantages possessed by the Panama route in
many of the most important respects other than
that of estimated cost, without deriving the idea
that had this forty -million-dollar offer been
before them when their report was signed they
