LOCK TYPE
OF Canal Experts Say is
Right Kind President
Sends a Message.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. H.
Any attack made hereafter on the lock
type of the Panama canal, according
to an opinion expressed by President
Roosevelt. in a message transmitting
to Congress today the report made by
the engineers who recently visited the
canal zone with Taft, ''is in reality
merely an attack upon the policy OF
building any canal at all"
The report, in President Roosevelt's
opinion. shows in the clearest fashion
that the Congress was wise in the po-
sition it took and that 1t would be
inexcusable folly to change from the
proposed lock canal to the sea level
canal.
II commend you" he says, ito the
Congress, most careful consideration
of the report. They show that the
only criticism that can be made of
the work on the isthmus is there
sometimes has been almost an excess
of caution in providing against pos
sible trouble.
The engineers report that as Gatun
dam was the central point of discus
sion. they gave it first consideration
ana they add that the type of dam
now under construction is one, which
meets with their unanimous approval.
They report that they do not find any
occasion for changing the type or
canal that has been adopted. The
engineering structures involved in the
lock canal project are feasible and
safe according to the engineers. They
are of the opinion that the canal can
be completed by January /, 1915"
