campaigner. Sir Garnet Wellesley.
- fighting the battle OF Tel-el-
Kebir. close by. Again. In 1898. II was
closed to the Spanish Fleet during
the SpaniSh-American War.
The first closing was due to the
fact that no final agreement had
then been reached between the pow
erS concerning the use Of the canal.
Even IN 1888, when the Convention
Of ConStantinople fixed this oues-
ton, Britain made reservations IN
case of trouble In Egypt-a motor
lousy troublesome place In these
DAYS and later. Then in 1904. the
British made final agreement TO
consider the canal as invariably neu-
tral. which permitted the Russians
to use Id during the RuSs0-JapaneSe
war, "A few years later.
But the question stil rises-what

IS a private toll-road. should decide

account?
