THE PANAMA CANAL.

VIEWS OF LORD CHARLES

BERESFORD

[ Press Association—Copyright. ] Ottawa, Sept 28. Lord Charles Bercsford, speaking afc the Canadian Club at Victoria, 8.C., said that the opening of the Panama Canal would involve the "reatest problems conceived which tbs English speaking nations would have a difficulty in solving. It was impossible to alter the strategical position of one hemisphere without altering that of tho other, including trade routes. On the solution of the problems depended tho peace of tho world. He criticised the Declaration of London as weakening British naval organisation and lessoning the protection of trado routes.
