|NICARACUAN
| CANAL PLAN
MADE READY
PROPOSED PROJECT WOULD
UTILIZE SAN JUAN RIVER
BED AND LAKE MIC

By STEPHEN J. McDoNoUcH
Associated Press Science Writer

| ASSOCIATED Press Science Writer)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 81
Should congress decide to au-
thorize building Of another is
thmian canal, through Nicaragua,
to supplement the Panama canal
it would find the U. S. army
ready.
Scientific and engineering
data, including information on
weather, geology, equipment and
man power has been assembled
and one of the diplomatic steps
a treaty with Nicaragua giving
the United States full rights to
build such canal-has been COM
pleted.
Further diplomatic negotiations
to protect interests of Costa Rica,
Salvador and Honduras would be
required but no great hurdles are
foreseen.
Cost Set At $722, 900. 900
The army corps of engineers
has declared itself ready, willing
and eager to undertake a ditch
digging job which would rival
that of building the Panama canal
which still ranks among the
greatest engineering and medical
! triumphs lover yellow fever) in
history.
The Panama canal cost $685.
812,661 and army engineers esti-
mate that the Nicaraguan canal
could be constructed for $722,-
100000. The cost would be jus
/ titled, they believe, because such
a canal would be second avenue
of national defense between the
United States east and west coasts
and would promote friendly rela-
tions and trade between the
United States and Central and
South America.
The Panama canal was begun
in 1904 and opened to traffic in
1914. It has been estimated that
a similar period, from 10 to 10
| years, would be required to COM
plete the Nicaraguan canal.
Shipping Increase Foreseen
| More than 25,OOO,00O long tons
of shipping now uses the Panama
canal annually, about 80 per cent
OF its capacity. With a revival in
world trade it is believed that the
Panama canal might prove made
quate.
The Nicaraguan canal, if built,
would be handled in much the
same manner as the Panama
canal. The latter is guarded by
a combined force of the army,
navy and marines, including air
forces and artillery sufficient to
protect it against attack until
help could arrive.
Among operating difficulties
in the Panama canal zone are
landslides along the big cuts, but
the army keeps dredge3 spotted
along the length of the canal and
when a slide occurs these are put
to work.
