Senate passes medical law amendment and Nicaragua Canal bill advances.
The final vote on a Nicaragua canal bill approved 70 million United States guaranteed bonds and 30 million non guaranteed bonds totaling 100 million for constructing the interoceanic canal. Treasury supervision and a fifteen member board govern the project with ten to be appointed by the president. The United States will own seventy million in canal company stock and hold a mortgage lien on all canal property.
