Pointing out that the construction of the Panama Canal, obliged the United States to intervene directly in Central American affhin to proteet American interests and that this intervention has been the cause of much distrust and ill feeling against this country, Nerval declares that the building of another Canal in Central American territory, would only add to the Latin American fears of domination by the great Northern Republic.
