the adoption of a resolution expressing

with the hope that an early settlement
might be reached. Secretary MorriOsn

will not permit any body of men per

world highways of traffic, and refusal
to permit the building of the canal

to insist upon unreasonable terms is
equivalent to a refusal"
Adverting to that phrase of the
Spooner law which says that the preSi-
dent snail have reasonable time to de-
termine as between the Panama and
Nicaraguan routes. the president wrote:
Reasonable time in the case of such

will endure for ages and will change

course, mean whatever time is neces-
sary to convince ourselves that the
course we are following is wise and
proper.
1T seems evident that in matter
such as this we should finally decide

vantages of this route over any Other
possible route are sufficiently marked
we should then give notice that we

whom the accident of position has
placed in temporary control of the

justice, but with generosity, and that

INTERNATIONAL EMINENT DOMAIN
Doctrine Announced in Part of the Presi
dents Message.

uentS Message
Washington, Nov. 14.-For severai
weeks President Roosevelt has had il
preparation his annual message to the
congress to be presented at the open
ing of the regular session on the first
Monday of December That part of
the message in which the president
discussed the negotiations between the
United States and the government Of
Colombianfor an isthmian canal treaty,
it is stated, was completed about two
weeks ago. Events which have oc-
CURED on the isthmus and in this cOun-
try since that time have made it neceS-
sary for the president completely to
rewrite that part of the message touch
ing the canal negotiations. Follow
ing are views expressed in the mes
sage before the rewriting:
In the opening sentence of his dis
cussion of the negotiations with Co.
lombia the president regretted the re-
fusal of the Colombian government to
ratify the canal treaty, which he added
was negotiated at the earnest request
of the government of Colombia. The
president then said that the powers
exercised by the United States under
the treaty of 1916 were so large in the
protection of transit across the isthmus
that it sometimes had been questioned
whether it was necessary now to OBJ
tain a treaty for the purpose of build
ing a canal. but in accordance with
"our settled policy of behaving with
Scrupulous fairness and generosity to-
wards our weaker sister republics of
the south we have endeav-
ored to provide for the building of the
canal by treaty"
Proceeding the president said that
the treaty offered Colombia was the
limit so far as our concessions go;
that the canal must be dug, and that
no other nation and NO private com
pany will be allowed to build it; con,
sequently it must be built by the gov
ernment of the United States. Re
ferring further along to the territory
bisected by the canal the president
wrote:
ION the one hand the United States
desires to safeguard with scrupulous
care the interest and the. honor of such
country or countries. On the other
hand. in my judgment, it is time to de-
clare that the beginning. of the canal
