Panama Canal Expansion Predicted

Bunau Varilla, who was the chief engineer of the old De Lesseps Canal Company that undertook the project of building the first Panama Canal, is on his way to Panama to see the first water turned into the canal. He predicts that within twenty years the canal will have to be widened to 600 feet in order to care for the increased traffic that will be drawn in that direction.
