Kan. a member of the congressional
committee that has Just returned from
a trip to the Isthmus, delivered a
speech last evening before the Young
Mems Republican club in Kansas City.
Kan. on 1.-The Situation in Panama -
THE first strong impression an
American receives on visiting the
Isthmus of Panama, particularly if he
starts from Washington where the at
mosphere touching the canal has been
extremely optimistic of late, is the
atmosphere of confidence which at
once envelCps him. Not the engineers
only. but the men who are engaged in
conducting the work talk with abso-
lutte assurance of the success of the
great enterprise admitting no more
doubt that the canal will be built than
that they are living to help build it,
There was an air of exultation about

these men also as if they had a feel
ing of pride in being associated with
gigantic project which their country
had undertake
"A second strong impression
visitor receives is that the canal zone
has been taken out of the tropics; that
1t is no longer part of Central Amer
lea, but a part of the United States.
This is doubtless due to the intense
activity everywhere in evidence
throughout the zone"
