There is no doubt that East Andean Peru will eventually be reached from the Pacific. It is only about 400 miles from that ocean. and there are now railroads going to the tops of tte mountains that might be extended to tap parts of it. The Oroya road just back of Lima is one, that has already been surveyed to the head waters of inc Amazon. This road begins at Callav passes through Lima and crosses the Andes at the altitude of more than three miles, after which it goes mated that the road could be extended to mated that the road could be extended to the navigiLbie Amazon system for some- thing like s15.0O0.60O to s2O 100000.

WASHINGTON, May 7l.-seaator Borah

ton under Mr.. Root 20 defeat free tolls
II want 10 divest this question OF that

Senator Borsh said that once Congress

by admitting national dishonor. He de-
ciared that the question was the most
important that has engaged the attention

been driven to dire extrenities for arsu-

doubtful and imperfect title TO the Canal

forward that argument. Sir Edward

coded our sovereignty.

conditional title to tho canal and ths

an eminent lawyer as the Senator from
Neg York will worry those individuals

The Senator from New York based his
entire argument on the statement that we
