Canal Bills Replace Fortify and Defend in Canals Bill
Washington April 20 The House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee reshaped the Hepburn Nicaraguan canal bill removing fortify and defend provisions to facilitate early action. Rep Barham proposed the change and the panel agreed amid some reluctance to overcome opposition. The amended text empowers the president to secure needed territory near Greytown and to dig and operate a canal from the Caribbean to the Pacific with defense and harbor provisions.
