INTERESTING CANAL FIGURS Latin Americans Not to be Caught Nap ping for Uncle Sam Will Dig the Big Ditch and Link the Pacific With the Atlantic Ocean. WASHINGTON', July 24. Some in teresting figures have been compiled lew baed on the work being undertaken by Southern American countries in pre paring their harbors and waterways against the completion of the Tanama Canal. Preparations is half the victory in peace as well as in war, and the Latin-Americans are not to be caught napping when the last shovelful of dirt is tossed out of the big ditch by Uncle Same, and the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are linked to advance the commerce of the world. A notable instance of foresight is found in the action o: the Argentine Republic in improving the harbor of Buenos Ayres. Thirty years ago no large ships could come within 20 or 30 mil.'s of that city and there were no channels, wharves or docks. At an out lay of a cool $o0.000,000 the harbor now is" magnificently equipped and on its tide title tlie ships of every rommeree seeking nation of the world. The Argentine Republic thus spent on ene undertaking the amount the Na tional Rivers 4 Harbors Congress is urging the rich United States to devote annually and scatter over a number of waterway impiovement schemes. The request will be brought prominently be fore the next Congress, and the orga nization is working to increase its member-hip to include every solid shipping and business interest in the country, o that its appeal may be representative of every section and of all classes. Cap tain l! F. Kllison. it secertary an.l treasurer, reports from Cincinnati tnat the membership is growing rapidly. Another big city to the south of the United States is' Rio Janeiro, on the harWr of which the government of Brazil is suendinc $30,000,000. A further expenditure of .25.0O0.0O0 is to lie made for the improvement of the Amazon River, and its tributaries This will open up the interior of a rich country and will mean molt to Brazil than any thing that the government ever has un dertaken. Then there is Chile. Despite the re cent earthquake and the country's ur gent need for funds for the rehabilita tion of its cities, the government be lieves the work of such vital import ance to its prosperity that it has set aside 13,000,ij00 .or improvements to the harbor of Valparaiso. Colombia, too. is preparing. A foreign loan is being negotiated to improve the Mugdalena river, which Hows northward from Ecuador. It is proponed to make this river navigable foi' 700 mile, into the interior. There are a number of other gigantic improvement -chemes, all relating to waterways or harbors, under way or contemplated by other South American republics. The figures on these last are not yet wholly available, but they ag gregate many millions. For the next eight or ten years the South American program of waterway development will be crowded. This country also is awakening to the wces-ity for being ready to take ad vantage of the big trade that the open ing of the Panama Canal will engender. The work of the National Rivers & Harbors Congress in arousing the Amer ican people to this need is beginning to bear fruit. It is highly probable that the Sixtieth Congress will pass a rivers and harbors appropriation bill at the long session that will eclipse the record one voted by the Fifty-ninth Congress in its final days.
