Ipl, Philippe Bunau-Varilla, the
French editor soldier engineer. to-
right proposed the immediate build

nHis plan was detailed in an address
before the Cincinnati Commercial

tTQyerSy over whether a lock or sea-
level coal should be dug through the
isthmus, he appeared as strong ad-
vDcate of the less costly lock system

attcanal could be built without ask

Will be paid in advance by the canal
itself" he declared. His proposal in
cluded the using sof the present canal
in the building of new canal.
The speaker pointed out that the
present canal depends to a large ex-

dams. He insisted that "the canal

He stated that there is no differ

Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and that

the two oceans to generate terrible
currents which will prevent all nav

the contrary.
