A Disquieting Report.
The following cable message^ alludes to the above :—: —
" Nfw York, January 14. " It is reported in Washington that the Panama Canal will cost thirty million sterling above the estimates, owing to revision of plans. Even then, vessels of the Dreadnought class will be unable to pass through the canal." This is rather loose. Is it an report or a street rumour ? Are these millions of dollars, or pounds ? When were the plans revised, and why, and what plans ? On the whole, consideration must be deferred for further information.
