Says Matter Is Not Being Discussed There.

By LEE G. MILLER Times Special Writer

ASHINGTON. Nov. 20.—Despite ations . for natidnal-defense pansion in almost every other tld, the War Department showed no interest today in reviving the old project for a Nicaraguan canal to upplement the Panama “big ditch.” puis Johnson, Assistant Secretary War, said he had heard of no ial discussion of the subject last spring, when he recom-

“posing construction of such a canal.

The Government apparently in-

orce that basket by strengthening the defenses of the Panama passage.

~ “Better Safe Than Sorry” “The Panama Canal must be made

“On the other hand, one military

- expeyt urges in a book just published ‘that a Nicaraguan canal be con- _ structed “at an early date.” * George Fielding Eliot, in “The - Ramparts We Watch,” writes: ~ “It is not, one must admit, very “likely that the safe transit of the ‘Panama Canal can be interrupted

- by enemy action, fiction thrillers to

- the contrary notwithstanding. But the possibility . . . ought to be pro-

~ vided against, since the consequences

- might be so far-reaching and so

= calamitous. . .

“The cost would be but a frac-

tion of what it would cost us, for

ship construction alone, to build a second fleet. . . . It is better to be

| safe than sorry.”

Cost Might Be Billion

The Nicaraguan canal has been a perennial issue for nearly a century. Only last sessign Rep. Izac (D. Cal.) sponsored .a bill for the

| construction of such a canal.

It was in response to a request for comment on this bill that Assistant Secretary Johnson advised the House Merchant Marine Committee against it. | He estimated that the canal

. would cost a billion dollars, plus an-

nual operation and maintenance cost of some 10 million dollars, “not including the cost of defending the canal.” While net receipts from Panama Canal tolls have averaged close to 3 per cent on the total capital inhe said a Nicaraguan

‘that investment “without the prospect of any material increase in

- ‘would be an| asset to national de-

_ ability of such a large investment.

The Maritime Commission, simlarly, reported that in 1935-37 the Panama Canal was used to only 40 per cent of capacity, and pointed

The first comprehensive survey of “the Nicaraguan canal route was “made in the 1850s for a company

Isthmian Canal Commission of 18971901 favored the Nicaraguan route

* build a canal. But since the easternmost part of the canal would follow the Nicaragua-Costa Rica boundary, “some arrangement would also be . necessary with Costa Rica.

Further, to defend such a canal

KERENSKY RAPS COUGHLIN VIEW

Claims Russians’ Revolution Was. Neither Fomented Nor Financed by Jews.

CHICAGO, Nov. 29 (U. P).— Alexander Kerensky, head of the Russian Socialist Government which was established after the fall of the Czarist regime and was overthrown by the Communists, today denied the Rev. Fr. Charles E. Coughlin’s charge that the Russian revolution “was launched and fomented by Jewish influence.”

radio priest's charge that the first revolutionary government was. dominated by Jews. “There was not one Jew in charge of the revolutionary government,” Mr. Kerensky asserted. “Any legend that the revolution was organized by Jews is absolutely stupid. “I was in this revolution and know the real history of it. The first revolution was one of all people. Russian people had a directive role in the development of events. There were Jews who took part in the revolution. Naturally, because Russia was a nation of many peoples. But it is not true to say that the revolution was launched and fomented by Jewish influence. All the Russian people had a part in the development of events.” Mr. Kerensky, here on a lecture tour, said that “no Jewish bankers financed the revolution of my Government.” He said his Government had obtained a loan from the United States’ Government “just as any Government would get a loan from any other Government.” “The enormous majority of Jewish people in Russia,” he said, “were against the Bolshevist Government (which overthrew the Kerensky Government) and were for the liberal and democratic movement.” “I know very well the origin of Lenin and of his Bolshevist Government. Lenin was not Jewish. He was Russian. And Lenin’s revolution was financed by the German Imperial Government and not by private bankers. This is a known historical fact.” Mr. Kerensky, who has been on a tour of the Pacific Coast and the Middle West, said he would leave for Cincinnati tomorrow and then go to New York prior to sailing for Europe, probably early in January.

MUTINY GHARGED TO TWO GOLD HUNTERS

Marino Bello ello Asks Arrests After Dispute at Sea.

LONG BEACH, Cal., Nov. 29 (U. P.)—Two men were arrested today on charges of mutiny as they returned from the ill-fated, goldhunting expedition of the late Jean Harlow’s stepfather, Marino Bello. They were Charles Segal, 40, and Abraham Kapellner, 44. They said Mr. Bello had them put ashore in San Jose, Guatemala, where they booked passage here. Federal Bureau of Investigation Agents met them at the dock and charged them with “resisting officers in charge of an American vessel.” Bail was set at $10,000 for each. The arresis were based on radio advices from Mr. Bello’s threemasted schooner, Meta Nelson. Mr. Segal, a Hollywood sportsman, and Mr. Kapellner, 44, a steward, left with Mr. Bello and a company of 25 in September. It was learned that the men had some kind of disagreement aboard the schooner with the skipper and
