The sale of the St. Thomas islands, however, carried soverignty with the deal whereas Nicara' gua has merely bargained to give this country an exclusive right to interoceanic canal con struction. Therefore it may be surmised that Uncle Sam will not tolerate any advance in price, even though Nicaragua may argue that owing to the U7n r ai,i iha V, 1 , ViirrViap of of . ' ' . L.I 1. ... . .
