Owing to tho clr- cumstarico that “the canal would — neces- surly pass through an unkmportant country, guine ution will huve to nesume tho protector ate of this wreut work; and tha question arose, What nition or nations would assume that ree sponsibility? Notwithstanding the agreement between Grent Hritnin wid the United State: that tho latter should not have exclusive control over this cunnl, the President of tho United States had recently deelured ils opinion that tha work was of sole Inturest to that vountry, with which no European country had anything to do, Ke argued to show that the control of tho Yunuma Canal was not an outcome of tho Son- rou doctrino, which wis not put forth a8 o broad general principle, but to mect a spealid caso.
