RIGHT TO FORTIFY
CANALAJUESTIOII
If Serious Obstacles Developo
They Must Be Settled by
Congress.
Washington Now that the United
States is about to complete the Pana
ma canal, many nations are Interest
ing themselves in the question ot its
fortification and have succeeded in
raising discussion of the proposirlca.
The United States, however, Is going
ahead calmly with the plans for de
fending the canal, which are before
President Taft, and the question, if
any serious opposition develops, must
be settled in congress this winttr.
The two problems, therefore, which
are agitating the officials of the Unit
ed States and of other countries, are
whether the United States has the
right to fortify the canal, and waether
it can do it successfully if it has the
right.
Question of Right to Fortify.
There is little doubt of the ability
of the United States to forti'y the
canal effectively. Whether or tot il
has the right to. do so according tc
be agreement with Great Brita'n is t
nore involved question.
Apart Icom treaty consideration, the
igut of the United States cannot bf
questioned. The United Sate3 con
3-ols the 10-mile strip through fSiet
'he canal runs, as much as it control
:he Philippine Islands. This country
spent hundreds cf millions of flp"ar
o dig the waterway. The right of tbi
United States to erect what fortiTica
dons it pleases within its own t-rrl
ory and to defend its own possesjioB:
cannot be questioned.
