Hoover and the Nicaragua Canal.
Seattle post-Intelligencer.

By his friendly call upon four of the i've republics of Central America our Presldent-eiect has undoubtedly eased the way for the United States to begin the building of second inter oceanic canal before he leaves the White House.
 Permanent and exclusive right to construct canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific Nicaragua was granted to the United States by the Bryan Chamorro treaty which we ratified in l9l6
 Nothing so enthuses the whole people or Nicaragua as the hope that the United States will soon exercise that right and begin canal con structon.
 Fears that their rights were not fully pro- tected prompted several of the Central American Republics, notably Salvador and Costa Rica, to protest against certain provisions in the Bryan Chamorro treaty. That is why further dlplo- matic negotiations must be undertaken in the interest of Central American accord These Hoov- CT will be in an excellent position to steer to successful conclusion by the time he becomes President.
 Meantime the Congress at Washington should be doing its part to hasten the day when the United States can embark on this new service to the world Several resolutions were introduced in the Senate during the last session dealing with the Nicaraguan Canal.
 Senator Edge of New Jersey offered reso- lution authorizing the President to direct the Secretary of War to survey the Nicaraguan Canal route and report to Congress Another resou- tion by Senator MeKellar of Tennessee went further and provided both for the survey and the building of the canal
 Surely there is time for Congress before ad- journment to reinforce MT. Hoover's good work in Central America by agreeing upon a resolu- tion which would make it possible for the Gov ernment to bring up to date the old surveys made of the Nicaraguan route long ago and now to be found in the archives of the War De- partment
 Such resolution at this time would show all our Central American neighbors that are genuine in desire to cooperate with them toward the building up of their prosperity.
 Roosevelts administration distinguished it. self by starting the building of the Panama Canal. Coolidge's administration hopes to start the Boulder Dam project before it leaves power. The Niearaguan Canal may well be of the big constructive tasks of the Hoover admins tration.

DANGER IN USING GASOLINE.

Two tragic accidents in Alaska within few to housekeepers, and others, of the danger of working about gasoline. One death and de- stroyed house resulted from cleaning clothes in a pan containing gasoline. Another the ac- cident at the Kanakanak Orphanage when light ed match set off can of gasoline in kitchen.

Papers building summer White Houses all of the country. The Seattle Times, for instance, wants one in Seattle
 But that not President Cooldges sug- geston. He urged summer residence in some of the mountains not far from Washington within easy few hours motor car ride. The President evidently had of the Virginas or Maryland or Pennsylvania in mind. He espec- ially wanted the residence where the President would have the Executive office and the De- partments close at hand a place to sneak to for weekend, or for few days and again during the summer.

HOW AMERICAN AND BRITISH UNDERSTANDING WORK.

Viscount Lee of Fareham thinks the most important thing for the peace of the world is complete understanding and unstrained friendship between the United States and Great Britain. The Manchester Guardian agrees with that posi- tion. Commenting upon the statement of Lord Lee and story he told to illustrate the way such understanding and friendship work. the Guardian said:
 There is a profound symbolical truth
 in story told by Viseount Lee of
 Fareham of the Spansh-Ameriean War,
 when the German Admiral asked the
 commander of the British squadron,
 What will you do if the Americans
 open fre?" and the reply was, "Only
 Admiral Dewey and know that" If to-

Curing" the Lepers.
(New York Times )


 The account of the American leper who has been discharged as "cured" lays emphasis on the painful nature Of the treatment with chaulmoogra oil. This, complaint has been fre- quently made, despite the fact that scientists have spent much time in trying to make the treatment painless and effective as possible
 Ever since experiments showed that chaul- mocgra oil could be used to check leprosy doctors have been studying 1t. One of the reasons why the fund of $2 0O0O0 is being raised for the leper colony at Culion in the Philippines is to enable the pushing of research.
 When it is realized that leprosy so long considered incurable, the progress already made is encouraging If the treatm 1nt be still further perfected--as will surely be done-it will be at a great triumph for the medical profession and boon to the hundreds of thou sands of sufferers throughout the world who have been summed by their fellows as incuraby un- clean.
