Hepburn Opens Nicaraguan Canal Debate in House
In Washington on January 7 Mr. Hepburn led a two hour exchange during the opening of the Nicaraguan canal bill debate. He argued the Panama private proposal was a delay tactic and criticized its $109 million price drop to $40 million. He favored a government built interoceanic canal with U S authority to defend and operate it, and noted advantages of the Nicaragua route and free passage for U S ships.
