the almost unanimous opinion OF

ed and ilals has been urged upon the

seryatiye and responsible Panamans,
for whom personally he has the high

have been proposed.
The first Is for tae United States
to take over Panama and run II as

The second Is to widen the Canal
zone to twenty-five miles on either
side of the canal, so as to take in
the cities Of Panama and Colon, to-

The third plan-to which President
