aged by the United States; second, thst
nothing In the treaty would prevent the
United states from fortifying the canal
and that In case of war between the
United States and England or any other
country, nothing In the treaty would
prevent the United States from closing
the canal to the shipping of an enemy.
Fortification Always Intended.
"In the absence of treaty restrictions,
these rights Inhere to the sovereignty
of the United States and the control o
Its own. It Is perfectly palpable that
this was insisted upon by the Senate
for the reason thst one of the main
motives In the construction of the canal
was the extension of the coast line of
the United Ststes through the canal
and the use of the canal in time of war
aa an Instrument of defense. The
guaranty of neutrality In the territory
Is subject, and necessarily subject, to
this construction.
The purpose and Intention .of the
United btatea to fortify the canal are
shown again In the passage of the
Hpooner act in 102, directing the Presi
dent to build the canal and to make
proper defenses. The treaty with Pana
ma reaffirms the treaty with England,
made In 1900, and expressly gives the
United States the power of fortification.
Canal Built for Defense.
"The right of the United States to
fortify the canal and to close It against
the use of an enemy In time of war
being established, what should be the
pollcyT We build the canal to help us
defend the country, not to help an
enemy to attack It- Kven if a certain
and practical neutralization of the
canal by agreement of all nations could
be secured to us, when engaged In war,
an enemy could then use the canal for
transit to attack us In both oceans.
We. propose to use It to defend our
selves. "After expending 1500,000.000 thus to
make our National defense easier, are
we to surrender hslf ttie military value
of the canal by giving the benefit of It
to a nation seeking to destroy us? It
seems to me that the very statement
of the proposition csrrles Its refuta
tion. But it la said that we ought to
defend the canal by our Navy. I am
not a strategist: I am not a military
or a naval expert; but It seems to me
that a Navy la for the purpose of de
fense through offensive; for the pur
pose of protecting by attack, and that.
If we have to return a part of our
Navy In order to defend the canal on
both sides, then the canal becomes a
burden and not an Instrument of de
fense at all.
Gun Must Kn force Neutrality.
"The canal ought to defend Itself and
we ought to have fortifications there
hlch would be powerful enough to
keep off the navies of any nation that
might poaslbly attack us.
And again, under our treaty with
England and other countries. It Is we
who guarantee the neutrality of the
canal. It Is not the other countries that
guarantee It to us. and we are bound.
If we conform to the treaty with Eng.
land, to put ourselves In such a condl
Hon that we can perform our guarantee.
But It Is said that we could Induce
all the powers to come In and consen
to the neutrality of the canal aa a
treaty obligation. I should be glad to
do this. If possible, but even if we do
this, can we feel entirely safe, by re
son of that agreement, from a possible
Injury to the canal by some Irresponil

"The correspondence between Lord
Lansdowne and Mr. Hay. aa well as

finally ratified, ahowa beyond perad
venture that It waa recognised by the
parties to that treaty first that the
"Then It Is said that the fortifica
tions are going to cost $50,000,000. This
la an error. The entire cost of the for
tlflcatlons for the canal Is 111.000,000
That. I submit, constitutes hardly more
than 1 per cent of the cost of the canal
a first premium for Insuring Its
safety thst Is not excessive.
"It also Is said that It will cost 15.-
000.000 a year to maintain It. This also
Is an error. I have conaulted the w ar
Department and they hare advised me
thst the additional annual Government
cost of maintenance of fortifications
and military establishments In time of
peace, due to the fortification of the
canal, would not exceed half a million
dollars an annual Insurance rate after
first cost of a tenth of one per cent.
Peace Preferred; Avar Possible.
"I yield to no one In my love of peace.
In my hatred of war, and In my earnest
desire to avoid war. I believe we hare
made great atrldea towards peace with

'In laying down my office, I can

from my country than to have secured

universal peace, to blind myself to the

In the Pecos Valley, where the Pro
