A Landmark Of Progress.

1t was in 1925 that Henry Clay,
then secretary OF state, instructed
American commissioners to the
Panama congress 10 investigate the
'practicability and the probable ex-
pense Of the undertaking building
an lnteroceanic canaD on the routes
which offer the greatest facilities.
This was after the Spanish repub-
lies had gained their Independence
and the canal became a subject of
discussion. That was about the
origin Of the canal project with us.
Various negotiations and projects
we're launched and abandoned in the
meantime, although never in the
long tine elapsing between 1925 and
1903, when the Panama canal
treaty was ratified, did the United
States cease TO dream Of a waterway
across the isthmus connecting the
two oceans.

Clay have thought II some pain ter

when this canal was finally COM
pleted, the president of the United
States would sit in his office at the

we'll as the Americans, involved IN

what left the task OF building the
canal 70 this period. Though II
ranks as the biggest engineering feat
Of the age, II 10 only In keeping with
the pace Of modern progress and
that pace will, Of course, be acceler'
