Democrats. Morgan and Money, we're

the treaty and Mr.. Money stated that
he had not yet had time to consider
1t, as it was the first meeting of the

The three amendments relate to
sanitation. limitation of cities and con-
troll Of harbors. The United States,
by the amendment relating to santa
ton, is granted more direct power in
all sanitary regulations. The amend
ment concerning the limitation of the
cities more specifically defines what
are the limits of Panama and Colon in
relation to the canal zone. The har-
Dor amendment gives the United
States control of the harbors for the
purpose of improvements.
