 So the United States shaped the first betrayal of the rights and interests of our country into an agreement. Mir Hay, explaining the omission of the nro- hloltion against Notifications from tbe nnal treaty, said:
 The whole theory of the treaty is 'nal the canal is to be an entirely Amer ican canal
 The enormous cost of construction ,s 10 pc borne by the United States aIone when constructed, it is to be exclu siveiy the property of the United States ana IS To be managed. controlled and de Tended by it.' Under these circur, stances and considering that by the new treaty Great Britain is relieved of all responsibility and burden of maintainins It's neutrality and security, it was thoueht 4 entirely fair to omit the prohibition that no Notifications shall be erected cor,- manding the canal or the waters ad- jacent."
 And yet we had few years ako 90 called Americans blatantly protesting against Notifications. claiming that inc treaty forbade them and accusing our government of breach of faith, and the same people now appear against our leountry on the toll question with less foundation for their stand
 | The next article will discuss the Claw ton Buiyer treaty. especially Article s. as finding no support in the Hav- lPauncefote treaty. Our un-Americans i wish to revive this explicitly superseded treaty in an endeavor to foist more un- patriotic sophistrt on our people. f- l
