Mr. Hoover is fishing, calm and pcaieful, having written his' inaugural address and se lected his cabinet. The coun try won't know" who is in the cabinet until March 4. A thousand or more candi dates may be sure that if they haven't heard from Mr.' Hoo ver yet. they will not hear from him. The fact that Secretary M"ellon UKMAINS in the cabi net will please everybody, tioniething that happens rarely. -- . The Panama- Canal set a new high record for business in Tauuary, of'J .ships passing in 30 days. The country needs another canal, and a Nicaragua canal should be built at sea level to take care of oeenn-lo-ocean traffic. The Nicaragua canal would provide this country with a ca nal from the Atlantic to the Pa cific without any locks, so eas ily destroyed. The navy, which played at war the other day, attacking and defending the Panama Ca nal, admits that the attackers, theoretically "destroyed the ca nal." They say that if the navy had more fast cruUcrs the de fense would have been success ful. . On the other hand, if an en emy eame with a few high-powered bombing machines without any cruisers or any ships on the water, the canal could be de stroyed, and floating ships would incaii nothing. . This country has - bought from Nicaragua the right to build a canal, and the canal should be built, without loss of lime. That w ill be one of Her bert Hoover's jobs.
