mine 1t will probably not for many
years be the commercial artery that
the Suez canal is, for there is the great
poinl of difference that while tn
Suez connects two denseIy populated
territories, Panama connects two
wide oceans On one side OF Il Suez
are the teaming millions of the Orient
and on the other side are the shops of
Europe. The commerce OF Suez is
approximately 10000, 900 tons per an
mum, aud it is not expect d that the
commerce Of Panama will be half
that figure for many years. just rs an
item of comparison 1t might be stated
that the commerce Of the American
canal at the Sauit amounted in 1903
to "a, 800 900 tons.
Secretary Root, therefore, says very
truly that the canal is not constructed
for gain. II will be very fortunate if
it can meet it's interest charges, But
nevertheless Panama means much to
the nations Of the world ana to the
United States most of all. Politically
it's advantages cannot be overestlmat-
Ell 1t cements the nation far more
thoroughly than did the railways
across the continent during the evil

South America within convenient
