That 500-ton meteorite which hit

100000 meteorites enterIour atmosphere

is their speed that the friction pro-
duced BY their contact with our at
mospherc generally burns them up
completely before they can reach the
ground. We begin to see the large
ones when they catch fire at about
seventy-flve or hundred miles up,
but their substance has generally been
consumed and their fire has usually
become extinguished by the time they
have dropped to within forty or fifty
feet OF the ground. Thus they go

His constant thought
Being how to shield his realm

And mindful Of his wise bequest
From factious clamors cease;

Defense and Neutrality Of the Canal

than voluntarily granted by the Otto
man government. Moreover, our rela-
tionship with the Panama Canal IS very
different and much more intimate than
that of Turkey with the Suez Canal.
The former was constructed by foreign
capital. The Turkish government in
reality exercises no control over 1t. Its
use by a nation at war with Turkey
would not be as detrimental to the lat
ter power as the use of the Panama
Canal by hostile power would be to
US. The Panama Canal is an American
enterprise purely, the canal itself IS a
connecting waterway between two sides
of the country: it would be much better
for US that the canal never had exist
ence than that we should permit it to
be used by nation engaged in making
war upon us.
But. aside from the possibilities and
probabilities of war in which we NIT ht
become involved, we shall have in the
completed Panama Canal a plant that
will have cost us nearly $500. 900, 600;
it will be to US great national high
way; our ships VIII pass through it in
great number, our merchandise in great
volume; it Will be our duty to defend
it as our own. We shall be subscribing
the interests of peace far better by
asserting our absolute jurisdiction over
this waterway than by leaving it unde-
Tended and unprotected and as a stand
ing invitation to other nations to make
use of it in such a manner as to pro-
woke international trouble. No nation
ever advanced the interest of peace by
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1910-05-24

The attitude which this government
has assumed with reference to the use
of the Panama Canal may be briefly
stated thus: The canal was not design
ed nor is it being constructed with a
view primarily to its usefulness in
time of war, but, rather, with a view
to its usefulness in time of peace. Its
construction has been undertaken with
the principal purpose of creating a
great commercial highway between the
Atlantic and the Pacific. and not mere
ly for the accommodation of war yes
sells, or, to facilitate their passage All
the nations of the earth will be vel
come to send their shipping through it
in time of peace under conditions that
shall be absolutely impartial. In time
of war between foreign powers the
canal will be maintained as neutral
waterway. All nations at war with
| other nations, except where the United
States may be one Of the parties in

| canal freely, subject to the restrictions

At this point there is a serious differ.
ence of opinion. 1t is held in some

! tional character of the canal it should
| be held to be a neutral waterway under
| all circumstances. The convention en-
