NO NICARAGUA CANAL.

PANAMA USING ONLY 50%

OF CAPACITY.

Washington, July 28-Formally shelving the Nicaraguan Canal pro ject the Department of State here has announced three reasons why the canal is not required at the present time,

First, world trade does not war- rant the expansion; second, the necessity for economy in expendi- ture of public funds intervenes; third, present traffic through the Panama Canal requires only about 50 per cent. of its possibilities..

These reasons, the department enys, lead to the conclusion that no immediate steps must be taken to provide increased facilities for passing water-borne traffic from ocean to ocean."

The Nicaraguan, canal route has been under discussion for more than 100 years.
