take whatever steps were necessary for protection and enlargement Of the canal.
 That treaty remains in effect. It gives the United States, among other things, the right to use extra land outside the present zon e where necessary for auxiliary canals"
 The new treaty valves some of these rights, although for practical purposes the surrender of U. s. rights is more figurative than real. For instance, under the old treaty the, U. s. reserved the right to take whatever steps were necessary for protection of the canal even if it im- pinged on Panama's sovereignty. Under the proposed new treaty Pan anna would act jointly with the U s. If the United States proposed to take some action all by itself which might affect the territory" under Panama's jurisdiction, it first would be required under the treaty to con- suit the Panama government.

Dominion Police Make Im- porfdnf Discovery in
 Great Lakes Canal
EXTRA PRECAUTIONS
 IMMEDIATELY TAKEN
Squads of War Veterans Enrolled as Guards af
 Strategic Cenfers

SAULT ST. MARIE, Ontario. April 22-Discovery of 50 pounds of hidden dynamite, suspiciously close to the bottle neck of the Great Lakes ship canal, has intensified Canada in wide safeguards against possible sabotage to cripple the Bri- tish Empire in time of war.
 Dominion of Canada officials to- day took drastic measures against sabotage. The situation is linked to the tense European situation.
 Many reports are coming in re- garding thefts of explosives from construction firms and the fear is expressed that the explosives might be used to blow up the public utilities and industrial plants If Canada is involved in war.
 Squads of war veterans have been enrolled for guard duty at strate- sic points. Some workmen are also sworn in as special watchmen at vital hydroelectric plants.
 The ship canal through which flows traffic between Lake Superior and the eastern Great Lakes, is im- portant in peace or war for great ore and wheat shipments.
 The dynamite was discovered by the police in shed only 1000 yards from the Great Lakes Power Con- pany's plant. A charge of dynamite thrown at the power cable would float into the power house pen- stocks and blow up everything.

To get it, all that was necessary was to condemn it for public use, just as the Federal Government might do in the United States.

Army officers, questioned about the thing. have said that if the safety of the canal required any prompt action they would act first and consult afterward, as the safety of the canal is too vital to the secur- ity both of Panama and the U. S. to take any chances.
