THE CANAL IN WAR TIME.
Existing Treaty Entities Us 60 Close n
Against Enemies.

To THE EpfroR OF THE SUN--SW: In
tho debate on the tolls bill Mr.. Underwood
contende that II we admit the canal to
be an international highway open TO az
nations OF equal terms for commercial
purposes we must therefore admit II to
be a highway for the enemy IL we become
belligercnt or, as he put II, the canal
In time Of war would become liability
instead OF an asset" The strategicai
position Of the canal makes It's complete
military control by us a vital weapon In
our scheme OF national defence, and It's
use or possession by an enemy cor
respondingly powerful weapon against US.
For these very reasons Mr.. Underwood's
position was absurd from the standpoint
OF international law, a well settled prin-
ciple Of which Ia that any provision OF a
treaty putting the safety of nation In
danger Is ipso jure voidable We are
therefore entitled with perfect honor to
take ANY measures at the canal which
the military exigencies of tho case de-
mand.
That Great Britain anticipated we would
take this position II we became a belliger-
ent ] think the paper, IN the case make
clear. The Clayton Bulwer treaty Of
1850 provided for a completely neutral.
ICED canal IL prohibited assumption and
exercise Of sovereignty, colonization. ex-
elusive control and fertilization. military
protection was assumed Jointly by the
parties to the contract, with provision for
the admission OF other nations to tho
benefits on submission to the terms This
treaty was abrosated in 1909 and re-
placed by the present treaty. whose object
as stated therein was to remove the OBJ
jections in the old treaty to the construc-
ton of "A canal by our Government. and
which did remove the objections >enumer-
ated.
Fertilization not prohibited by our pres
ent treaty and exclusive management,
regulation and military occupation sane
toned by II are utterly repugnant TO neu-
trality in the event of our becoming a
belligerent. II the treaty permits the
means 1t cannot logically be interpreted

provisions OF the treaty must be construed
as applied TO belligerents other than the

disheartened attitude Of the managers.
That there are audiences for the best
Of these plays Of verbal wit during q
certain period is not to be denied; but
for real plays the audience is perma-
nent, unfailing.
Evidence Of this might be found in
the present tendency Of managers to
return to the theatre Of the despised
IARDoU to find material Of the kind
that the contemporaneous playwrights
are unwilling or unable to supply them.
Diplomacy" the English version Of
SARDOu's "Dora"-the author called
It q travesty Of his work---has been the
most successful play Of the past season
in London, and IL IL to be performed
ambitiously here next season. Then
the ancient "A Scrap Of Paper" will
soon be acted here. SO there are still
managers too wise to be persuaded by
the success Of one play Of brilliant talk
that the public has learned to care only
for this kind Of drama.

serts that certain American reporters
or poets have invented him, all right.
1t Is none Of our business or pleasure

but "swank" is imported English slang

The reform that destroys is beauti-
fully illustrated in the Kentucky In
surance situation. Idealistic legislation
has driven a hundred companies out of
the State and killed the business. The
underwriters say parts of the Green
Glenn act are intolerable and they will
write no policies until the objectionable
sections are nullified. Tho state au-
thorities refuse to compromise. Mean
time no insurance can be got in the
State; business men can neither max,

cial chaos impends. But the progress
