It affects the countries bordering on the Mediter ranean, especially France, and it seems impossible for the affair to be completed without some international arrangement. It would amount to sheer confiscation for Eagland to undertake to manage the esnal. It cannot be desired that the civilizing work of the canal shall become a mere in- strament of trade.
