credits now studying the systems at
work in various countries i'm Eu-
rope.
During the voyage from the Uni
ted States the members decided to
depart from the original intention
OF merely investigating the systems
OF european rural credits, as it was
considered that as narrow a subject
would tend against the usefulness
Oh the mission. The scope of the
work was therefore enlarged to en-
brace the whole subject of co-opera-
tive effort as it touches agriculture
and rural life.
The commission, divided into four
suDcommissions, is dealing with the
subjects of finance, production, dis
trlbut1on and organization of agri-
culture and country life The work

three main channels-first, obser-

SHORTER ROUTE
THAN PANAMA
United States May Cut Another
Great Atlantic-Pacific Waterway

Great AtIantic-Pacific Waterway
Through Nicaragua.
Washington, May l6.-Another
great Atlantic-Pacifc waterway,
making ship route between the
Eastern and the Western coasts of
the United States 1000 miles short
er than through the Panama canal,
will be built soon by the United
States, in the opinion of DR.. Saliva
dor Castrillo, retiring Nicaraguan
minister. DR.. Castrillo, who leaves
TINS week for Europe on an impor-
tant mission for his government. de-
clared in statement last night, that
he believed canal treaty would be
negotiated between the United
States and Nicaragua and that a
canal would be constructed across
his country.
The Nicaraguan diplomat has
been frequent caller at the state
department since Secretary BRYAN
came into Office, and the latter, after
an extensive study OF the problems
involved in the proposed treaty ne
gotiations, has said that his mind
is open.
$3,000,000 FOR RIGHTS.
The canal treaty, an inheritance
from the Taft administration, was
negotiated by Minister Weltzel last
winter and has received the ap-
proval ot the Nicaraguan govern
ment. By its terms Nicaragua, for
S3,OOO,OOO, would grant the United
states the exclusive right to con-
struct canal across Nicaragua by
way OF the San Juan river and Lake
Nicaragua. This government also
would have right to acquire a
coaling station in the Bay of Fon-
SEGA, on the Pacific side of the coast.
Il am greatly encouraged by Mr..
Bryan's assurance that he has a
broad view of the subject" said DR..
Castrillo.
A COMMERCIAL NECESSITY.
He believes the Nicaraguan canal
is commercial necessity. After
ALL" he said, 1.-The Panama canal ia
or military and stragegic impor-
tance, but when ii is realized that
the Nicaraguan canal would shorten
the route to the Pacific coast by an
additional 1000 miles, 1 am con-
Vlnced that 1t would be built. When
the first of the great Pacific rail-
roads was built across the United
States 1T was thought that it would
be sufficient for all commercial
needs. 1t, however, only served to
emphasize the demand for other
lines which were speedily built"
DR.. Castrillo has not been able to
reach an understanding with the
state department in the Nicaraguan
loan negotiations. Secretary BRYAN
has favored the deal with the New
York bankers, but he has not given
assurance that will satisfy the New
YORK fnanciers. The doctors Eu-
