110 FOREIGN CANAL ACROSS NICARAGUA Treaty, Recently Negotiated At Managua, Sent to the Senate.

ONLY U. S. CAN BUILD

Document Aimed to Prevent Possible Action From Europeon Power.

(National News Association) WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations h,as before it for consideration a treaty negotiated between the United States and Nicaragua providing that no other nation than the United States ever shall be permitted to construct a trans-oceanic canal through the territory of Nicaragua. It was negotiated at Managua by George T. Weitzel, the United States Minister to Nicaragua. The negotiations were recently completed, and the document was forwarded to the Senate only a few days ago by the President. Negotiations of this treaty with Nicaragua were decided upon as a result of frequent reports from Europe that one or another foreign Government is behind a project to revive the old Nicaragua Canal plans and construct an interoceanic highway to compete with the Panama Canal built by the United States. Will Cloae The Door. The convention with Nicaragua, if it receives the ratification of the Senate, will forever close the door to any other nation or private Interest contemplating a canal by the Nicaraguan route. This Is the. chief purpose which the nw treaty is intended to serve and it is in effect the sharpest kind of notice to the rest of the world that the United States intends to maintain a monopoly on interoceanic canals in the Western Hemisphere. While reports that foreign interests were actually contemplating the construction of a canal via the Nicaragua route are never taken very seriously by Americans they were not without effect in Central America. These reports received considerable credence in tfce Central American republics and served as the basis for many schemes by which it was thought to advance the interests of some Central American State. They tended to increase the instability of Central American political situations and altogether were regarded as having a harmful effect. It was thought advisable from a practical point of view to reserve the right for the construction of a canal by the Nicaraguan route to the exclusive enjoyment of the United States. The belief is held by many that at some future time it will be found advisable and profitable to construct across Nicaragua a canal for light draft vessels only. The old plans for the canal by way of Nicaragua called for the utilization of Leke Nicaragua and several rivers lying on either side of that lake. Comparatively little excavation would be necessary to build by this route a canal for Mght draught vessels. The task if the canal were to be a shallow one,

would be very simple as compared to the construction on the Panama Canal. It is calculated that the saving of distance over the Panama route would be well worth while, especially if the commerce of Central America increases as rapidly as it should with the drowing developments of those countries. The United States is already bound by treaty with Nicaragua to follow a specified route in case it ever builds a canal across Nicaragua. In the protocol of l&OO the United States agreed with Nicaragua that the Atlantic terminal should be near San Juan Del Norte, thence to Lake Nicaragua by the Indio River and from the lake to the Pacific coast along the course of a small river, the mouth of which is at Brito, near San Juan Del Sur. Uttle difficulty was encountered in negotiating the new treaty. The relations of the United States with the present government of Nicaragua are extremely friendly. Besides the traditional attitude of Nicaragua toward the United States in the matter of construction of an interoceanic canal across her territory has always been most liberal. At one time Nicaragua consented to a treaty which granted the United States exclusive rights to build the canal and to operate it without restriction and without paying tolls on its own ships. This treaty was never ratified.
