[ The Panama Canal cost 525,. 812,661 and army engineers esti- mate that the Nicaraguan cana could be constructed for $732 ,000,- 900. The cost would be justified they believe, because such canal would be a second avenue of na- tional defense between the United States east and west coasts and would promote friendly relations and trade between the United States and Central and South Americas.
 The Panama Canal was begun fin 1904 and opened to traffic ir l1914. It has been estimated that a similar period, from 10 to Is years would be required to complete the |Nicaraguan canal.
 Shipping Increase Foreseen More than 25,000,000 long tons of shipping now uses the Panama canal annually, about 80 per cent of US CdpdClIy. Wioii O iS'A'h Ai1 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 artil- fiery sufficient to protect it against attack until help could arrive. Among operating difficulties ir | the Panama canal zone are land-
 slides along the big cuts, but the
 army keeps dredges spotted along the length of the canal and wher a slide occur these are put te work.
