There no question before Congress at the present session paramount to that Involving legislation fur the operation of the Panama Canal. It would be a a'amity should anything prevent def inite action before adjournment is tak en nest Summer. No matter Is of mors immediate concern to the public Inter est ecpt tariff revision or the solu tion of the trust problem. Happily titer is a unity of enthu siasm ver the "great'work drawing to t-ompletlon on the Isthmus. There Is no party division and no insurgem-y so far as the canal Is concerned. Every body Is a canal boomer. Fraae Is lateret tee, France Is one of the countries that is manifesting a particular Interest in vrmmrcil features of the canal. M. Claude Casimlr-Perler. son of the late President of France. Is In the Cnited States )th a commission from the Min ister of Commerce and Industry to In vestigate the commercial side ths matter. vVhat France and other foreign coun tries are Interested in. aside from the question of tolls the fundamental ouesfion are the new sea distances be tween Europa.snd American roast lines ltat are being compiled by geographic Institutions incident to the radical changes la trans-oceanic routes that will. fo1low.tne opening of the canal and the possible policy that may be adorted by the I'nlted States with re spciTl to the new relation of water and :4llroad transportation rates that will ha presented. ' Coasplettoa tipteewlaied Oa. . Then, of course, there are the direct (rods relations between this country and forelga countries using the csnal, which are bound to be affected' to mutual advantage of merchants. The matter of competition between the Sens and Tanama canals Is being weighed aiso. This Interest of foreign nstlons in the canal brings home with renewed fcrce sn appreciation of our own lack of a merchant marine. It Is probable that the question of legislating for the operation of the canal will excite simultaneous agitation for the speedy asitsbllshmeat of a definite policy re garding sn American merchant marine. How Is American shipping going to mm greatVy beneltted by the canal when """i have no ships, la a stock Interroga t.pn. However, matters are working to a point where some Vy something will be done." tBlss4aa- Kreedosa il. (senator Brlatow. who is one of the B"St enthusiastic canal boosters In Congress, which as a result of his personal observation augnllsea the work done ta the wil sons under the present Administration, and who will take a leading part In pressing for the settlement of the toll question at .this session, has come out openly for She removul of the tariff from articles -catering into ship building and in stor.dl a new law that will enable "hose who want to fly the American flag to buy their ships anywhere in the world that they desire. The present Isw rlufreo that - ship flying the American flag shall be built In Ameri can shipyards. It costs something like twice as much to build a ship here, as It does to build the same vessel on the Clyde. The Influence of the labor unions in politics Is regarded by msny ss a barrier to the removal of the present restrictions. HILL LAND NOW ORCHARD Men from Eat Complete Setting Out of Kort-.ore Tr-.
