Uncle Sam. under the direc tion of his president-engineer, is getting ready to spend one billion dollars and he couldn't do better, Army engineers under Sec retary tlood's direction, will survey the Central American jungles for the Nicaragua canal. If they do as well as the nrin'y engineers did in I 'una ma T'ncle Sam will have another big feather ill his cap. It will take ten years and cost a billion, to build a canal through J 8:1 miles of tropical, mountainous forests, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The canal, which will pay for itself, will give to I'ncle Sam. with his l'anamu canal, two of the most important waterways of the earth. That's engineering worth while.
