A BLUE CANAL OUTLOOK

When congress rendered the Panama canal lob to
tie president practically without reserve It was seized
with the ardor manifested by green hand in harvest
field.
Neither the president nor his close friends seemed
toentertsn doubt that the canal would be anything
more than meadow ditch on a large scale. And the
American people, moved by admiration for the
qualities Of the president believed generally that dirt
would fly at In tornado fashion all along the canal
zone
Many months have passed and the job Of digging the
canal has not begun, except in tentative way.
real beginning Is less promising in fact than It
when the president undertook the task That is evil
dent from the acknowledged dilemma reported thus
from Washington:
The president is about half convinced that the
cheapest and most effective way to dig the canal is to
get the job in readiness for contracting subdvide the
work into spectes and then invite the contractors Of
all the world to submit bids"
After all these months of backing and filing prepara-
tory to beginning work there is not fixed general
plan of operation. Only few days ago there a
call for $4,000 contract aborers to work on the canal
Chinese Japanese and other foreigners That plan not
only ignored the United States contract labor laws but
also quite suggestive of modified slavery.
1t seemed to be the only recourse, however, and
all Americans are eager to the canal work fully
in operation the plan not broadly criticised But
for some It appears the president is undecided
abowt adopting it, even at the eleventh hour.
That the real beginning of work the canal is likely
to be deferred many months is made evident by
this outlook from the Washington viewpoint:
"The general contracting scheme however, will have
TO wait until the International commission of engineers
decides, and congress decides what sort of canal is
to be built Among the most intelligent engineers the
idea is fast gaining ground that sealevel canal would
be useless waste of cash and time few locks will
many millions of dollars"
Not the question whether the canal shall be
lock sealevel ditch has been determined. The
means and methods for digging the ditch matters
of presidential perpexy The whole canal proposition
has the appearance in fact of being stuck in the mud
There is no lack of American faith that the canal
will ultimately be accomplished fact But neverthe
less it is obvious that there is nothing to inspire enthu
siasm in the present Panama canal outlook.

laborers, he said that no change of
policy in that respect was intended.
