TEXT OF THE CANAL TREATY g
(Continued from Plrtt TaRr.)
contending thnt even from n Ilrltlnh view-
point It Is desirable tlmt the United
States should build exclusively nml Biiar
antre t tie neutrality of the Isthmian canal
and that If Lord Lnnsdowne obtained full
commercial privilege for (Ireat Hrltaln
the treaty will not be wholly onesided.
Tho article concludes with advising tho
public; to expect to hn prepnred to accept
a settlement wnicn win "sunsinniiniiy giv
us all wn wnnt, hut which outwardly will It?
not appear u iip a iriuiupn ui uiimimuih.-., .
By tho blundering of American states
men we were put In an embarrnsslng just
tlon last year and we will show some
magnanimity If for the Raks of pjace and
good will wo approach the new settlement
without a recollection of that oveni. i."t
us remember thut we have had some cue-
cess In recent dealings with America. The
Bering sea award and Venezuela treaty
were both substantially In our favor nnd
If we get open water In tho canal wo shall
be the gainers by the loss of the Clayton
Dulwcr treaty."
Tho Pall Mall Cazelte lakes a slmllsr
view of the matter nnd say:
"We are surrendering n right we would
never seriously think of exercising, but
which might be Infringed at any moment
to tho serious detriment of nrltUh dignity.
On the other hnnd, It Is understood that
compensation will be found In the ahsenco
of a heavy toll or tariff reatrlctlonn. Tho
canal Is expected to be throv.n open to the
world and the opening of that door will
be the price the DrltlHh, government oh
talned by the nbundonmcnt of iho Cluy-ton-nulwer
treaty."
