MARINES IN RIGHT PLACE
Also on Right Time When Quake Rocked Nicaragua.
BEVERLY HILLS, Cal., July 20. -
Been reading of our army survey of new canal by Colonel Dan Sultan.
But what you haven't read is the
wonderful work
that he and his
crew did during the
Nicaragua earthquake. He moved in with his whole
outfit, among which
did doctors, and
they worked day and night there.
They and the marines were in the right place at the right time that time.
He explained the
canal to me down
there. Folks that
like to dig canals,
there is a good place to dig one there.
Cost $700,000,000, but Lord, the way
we are going, what's seven hundred
more million in hock for us?
We are sunk anyhow, so let's get a
series of canals, then save the best
one. Yours, WILL ROGERS.
