Covert Slap at United States.

It IS understood that Colombia has
started the movement for this canal as a
covert slap against the United States
for It's interest IN the creation OF Pana-
ma and the building OF the Panama
canal
The project Of an interoceanic canal
through Dalfen is based upon a mOdifi-
cation Of the original plan OF the Atrato-
Tru8ndO route II was down these rivers
that Pizarro. the Spanish explorer. made
his way westward and finally gained
the Pacific by cossing a mountain spur
ending at Humboldt bay. The main
depth of these two rivers, along the
sections to be used. is from thirty-five
10 forty feet. There will be twenty-one
miles Of excavation. and a gigantic tun-
mel two and three-quarters of a mile
long.
Claims are made by the promoters that
the plans do not present any new engi-
neering problems. and that. as more
than 30 per cent of the cost would be

cided TO build this canal. Advices come
slowly, and IL may be possible I viii

the government would undertake public
work of such worldwide Importance
without due discussion. and I have had
no advices that IL has been discussed
at any length. As to the suggestion.
that my government has decided 70
build the canal as a sort Of retaliatory
measure against the United States. that
