One of the leading maritime authorities in France, M. Jose Mose lli, says in this connection that the enormous advantages of the new Canal are on consideration greatly diminished. They are, he says, not sufficient to bring to Panama the trade enjoyed by Suez, for, while the voyage from Europe to the Bast via Panama would be some fifteen day? shorter, this advantage would be more than counterbalanced by the difficulty of obtaining freight. By V>a fnntA roanol a ton RtTVnt In LliO I VUIV hwy ?y >| ? ? dia and China, where freights are profitable and abundant, while there would not seem to be much to be picked up by the Panama route. On the return ships might make a Blight detour to Chile and load nitrate, but at $2.60 per ton this would not ap pear very attractive. From the passenger point of view the Panama route would only benefit travellers between Europe, the West Coast of the United States and Aus tralia.

As to the nitrate and saltpeter of Chile?not very profitable freight?it is to be presumed that the sailing ships which carry it now will continue to use the Cape Horn route, not only .to avoid the Canal dues, but also be cause calms are frequent and durable jn the gulf of Panama. i There remains the question of coal, weventy-flve per cent of existing car feo steamers carry between 6,000 and $,000 tonp. Their speed is small and their coal consumption calculated for medium distances. But between Pan ama and Asia or Australia there is the whole Pacific Ocean to be crossed, fifteen to twenty days' navigation. On ly very rich freights would permit such an expense. From all this, concludes M. Mose 111, it appears that the prime lm portance of the Canal Is strategical, In that It permits the United States fleet to operate Indifferently on eith er shore of the continent. Thanks to the new canal, the American fleet will be able to accomplish in two or three weeks a Journey which former ly required three months and that, without doubt, will hasten the set tling of accounts which sooner or later, must take place between the United States of America and Japan for the hegemony of the Pacific.
