FOREIGN POWERS COULD
HARDLY USE CANAL IN WAR

Victoria, Feb. Admiral Viscount
Ijuin, of the Japanese navy depart
ment, when interviewed regarding the
remarks stated to have been made by
Admiral Yashiro regarding the fortif-
cation Of the Panama canal, said it
would be impossible for any foreign
power to use the canal in war time, as
to do so it would be necessary to land
sufficient forces to occupy both sides
of the cana Throughout its length, and
the canal could be easily blockaded by
the sinking of q single vessel; whether
warship or merchant craft. Viscount
Ijuin closed by saying the closing OF
the canal would be so announcement
that only very great power like
America could contemplate anything OF
the kind.
