The telegmam adds that the Pope has instructed the archbishop to convey his best wishes to Mussolini, ly short and direct,”” says the bulle in, “The Nicaragua route—again ig- noring locks-——must be compared with the Turkish straits; it is relatively long, and has in its course a great natural inland sea from which narrow ship-ways are projected. Utilizing “Great Lakes,” “A Nicaraguan canal would be less | a man-made affair than the Panama Canal, where at every turn nature had to be thwarted and subdued by en- gineers, There ships now move every foot of the interocesn way through great ditches that were dug, locks that were built, or a lake that was created by men. Tne Chagres river was turned aside to make a lake and even its bed was discarded. If a Nic-| araguan canal were built according to cxisting plans, it would entail much excavation and lock building, but work that nature has already done would be utilized to a marked degree. “From the Atlantic end a canal would have to be excavated, largely through lowlands, for some 50 miles, for the lower reaches of the San Juan river are clogged with sand brought down from the uplands of Costa Rica. Locks would then raise the waterway to the 106-foot level of the lake. Ships would be transferred into the San Juan river, dammed st this point, and would move up its slack water for approximately 45 miles to Lake Nic- aragua. This lake is a really large ibody of water—one of America's ‘Great Lakes'—though far from its peers. It is 100 miles long and 45 miles wide at the broadest point, and ! is the most extensive body of fresh waterin North America south of Lake Michigan. For 70 miles ships would use the water of . Lake Nicaragua. Then would come the descent to the| Pacific through a canal and locks cov-| ering the dozen miles or more of nar- row isthmus that divides the lake from the ocean. “The rivers and lake portion of the route above the dam, however, would pot all be in readiness for use with-: sHut the expenditure of labor. Of the 45 miles of river 23 woéuld require improvement, while a channel would| have to be dredged through a score of miles of the lake near the river outlet where silt has accumulated. “The Pacific side of the canal would present relatively few difficulties. The narrow divide at the point crossed by the canal route rises only 44 feet ) Griffith of above the lake level. Altogether the canal route from deep water to deep water, would be about 180 miles long. The passage of ships would require more than 24 hours as against 12 or less at Panama. Such a canal could be reached on the other hand, more jaulckly from ports of the United States. “'One other contract exists between the Panama canal and the Nicara- guan route. The former traverses a country of relatively limited poten- tial wealth. A canal through Nica- Yagua would doubtless be a strong factor in the development ‘of that country opening up its vast forests of both hard and soft woods and tap- ping its coffee and cacao plantations and its mines. Lake Nicaragua is already an important waterway, and near its banks are some of the chief cities of the republic.” NEW EUROPE AIR LINE Prague, Czechoslovokia. — Daily commercial air service between Prague and London soon will be opened, following conclusion of an agreement hetween the PBritish and Czechoslovak governments.
