Wv defenses of the Panama
canal are suggested in an
oihcial Navy department critique, pre-
pared as result of study of last

In drawing up their estimates"
says the critique, "both commanders
considered the possibility of blocking
the canal by an attack in force on the
Pacific side defenses and locks"
This situation, coupled with other
facts developed during the maneuvers,
led the naval experts to reach rather
definite decisions as to the future
needs of national defense in that quar-

follows:
Some of the benefits to be gained

There are certain well-defined
weaknesses in the Panama canal de-
