they wiehed to carry ont their plan, tha

Tha Infer*nee la plain that tha nropeaal ia
merely to withdraw support from other
enterprises. Fbelpe and a few others are
ia earneet, bnt they alone will never carry
it tkroogk. Not a cent of eepital will be

who aapport tke project are laiereeted in

would be injured by tha aooaaaa of a canal
