The Galapagos Islands.

The absorbing topic of discussion
in Ecuador is an alleged liberal Of
fer made by the United States for a
ninety-nine year lease of the Gala
pages islands. President Alfaro
says it has been made and should
be accepted. Some sensitive Ecua-
dorians say that it would be most
unpatrio;ic for their country to lease
The islands, although they are of no
service to Ecuador. They are al
most uninhabiicd and yield no re-
venue. But while Ecuador knows
all about the American proposal,
nothing seems 10 be known of it in
Washington. Neither affirmation nor
denial has come from that quarter.
AS the story has not been contra
dicted there may be a measure of
lTutn 10 IL.
The Galapagos islands are 600
miles from the coast of Ecuador
and are even more remote from the
bay of Panama. They have no value
foi Ecuador under any circumstan-
ces, but the opening of the Panama
canal would give them an import
ance in American eyes they could
not otherwise possess. 1t would not
do to allow them to fall into the
hands of any power which might
make of them a naval base from
which it could demonstrate against
the canal. So if it were true, as

was said some weeks ago, that Japan
was endeavoring to get control of
the islands, the United States would
be the more solicitcus to get them
for itself
From a commercial or an indus
trial point of view they would be of
h.tlc value to the United States.
Their total area is only about 2,4oo
square miles. But they would
serve, thrust out into the Pacific
as they are, as an advance post Of
the canal. And, which is the main
point, they would not be the menace
to it they would be under certain
circumstances.
1t is said in Ecuador that the
United States offers to pay SIS, 900,

900 a year. That would not mean
much to the United States, but it
would mean a great deal to the
