This being true, it follows that none
of the canal engineers has any Interior
motive or personal reason for uphold
ing the lock-canal plan against the sea-
level plan. For that matter it is gen
orally understood that when Colonel
Goethals accepted the post of chief)en-
gineer he came to the isthmus declared

But the important thing is that Con

board of engineers, the majority OF
which pronounced for a lock cana
against a majority of the board that
favored a sea-level canal. The sea

eign members of the board, whose votes
gave it majority backing.
Adhering to its instructions, the

line from the start.
There wasn't a man in the lot who
would confess to the slightest doubt
that we would finish up the job in
prime shape. Differences of opinion do
exist, and were frankly expressed, as
to whether the lock canal or a sea-
level ana be built. The substance of
what they said, taking an average, was
something like this:
Everything will be all right if they'll
only give us a fair show in the States"
Although it might not be put so
broadly, theoretically by they" Con-
gress and the politicians were meant.
BY flair show they meant a cessation
Of playing politics with the canal and

AS a matter OF fact, any criticism of
the present operations on the zone or
of the plans under which the lock
canal is being built, is a criticism
leyeled at the Congress which author
lied the lock canal and of the mem
bers of the board of consulting en-
gineers who recommended it. The pres
ent plans are not fathered by any en-
gineer now on the isthmian commission,
or, so far as is known, by any engineer
now connected with the work in any
particular.
