sponsible for anti-American sentiment.
This subject is an old one, but in re-
cent years there has been no serious
movement TO secure the Galapagos as
naval station for the United states.
Yet when an Ecuadorian politician
wants to get most in public view ne
goes out and declares that he VIII
never consent to Ecuador alternating
her precious heritage Of the Galapagos.
1t is no secret that the United states
navy. since the construction or the
canal, does not think it important that
there should be even a coaling station
on the Galapagos. 1t commands the
situation from Panama bay. The only
question that could arise would be II
Ecuador should seek to lease the
islands to some foreign power, Asia

soon.

It's reputation is known in southern
Europe and immigrants cannot he in
duced to pass through 1t. There are
other reasons why the sanitation of
Guayaquil is rather crucial question
for Ecuador at the present time but
they are not necessary to enumerate.
II has been claimed that the interest
of the United States in cleaning Tn the
plague port is a detriment because of
the anti-American feeling prevalent in
Ecuador. Even if this were trIe 1T
would not be a sufficient reason for the
administration at Washington neglectine
a duty which the Panama canal has
made imperative. But the prospect of
sanitation is not the cause of anti
American feeling, possibly because a
large section of the Ecuadorian repubIic
does not take it very seriously.
A disturbing factor in the present
situation is the controversy growing
out OF the Guayaquil and Quito rail-
way. Engineering construction of the
road was the achievement of the late
Mai. Hartman, but the financial genius
who got IL through was his brother.

Although foreign capital originally
built the railway, 1t passed into Ameri-

disputes and controversies with the
government. These were to be submit
