: WASHINGTON. Feb. 8. Presi
dent Harding's administration fa
vor application of the profit ac
cruing from the operation of Pan
sjrjk Canal to the construction of
a n-ew inter-oceanic waterway. It
vrtn Ball today by a White "House
spokesman. The question was tip
for rocnl stable discussion by the
.cabinet and Although no definite
project has been outlined, the
cabinet talk was described as "ex
treacly interesting,? -." ' ' J,
; . topetus, was given to the dls
. eusslpa by Secretary Weeks? ex
planation to his cabinet colleagues
of th? striking increase in traffic
throat the canal last mouth, as
. SO per. cent , greater -moTeinent
than' a year ago. Canal tolls coir
lections hire mounted the cabinet
was told, until there la a steadily
Increasing monthly balance above
operation.,.
Itarild Growth, Shown
The outstanding feature as to
the Increasing c&nal traffic. It
was stated, was the growth-of ;
business from coast to coast. Ad
ministration officials. hare seen
concrete ,. evidence recently , of
probable further growth of this,
inter-coastal .fcciiness. Within the
last few days Secretary Weeks has
- been approached by Interests seek-;
Ing to buy two army transports
for. conversion luto ' refrigerator
ship3 to carry 'Pacific coast fruits
to eastern markets. Ha was told
, that It had not fcea possible to
, obtain a sufficient number .' of
. suit&bra vessels for this work
from the shipping board..
Nlcarauani Itonte Favored

! in cabinet circles favored the Nlc-
, araguan canal route. If a new
canal project was to be put t or
; ward-. The least costly method of
Increasing, the traffic, capacity

ed outsat the war department.
; would be to double the lock facilt
ties of the Panama Canal,' hit . It
was added that both from a mili
- tary point of view as to defensi
bility, and because It would shor
tea the trl from coast to coast
by sone five days, the Nicaraguan
, route appeared most desirable,
In Klcaraugan circles here it
was said, nothing of a definite na
ture as to a new canal project bad
leen heard. It was added how
ever, that canal rlghU - already
granted toj.the United States ?by
that country .were alidand that
the conflicting interests of jCosU
Rica as to San Juan river, along
the rpste. ; . awl , Tonzlca bay al
ready had been Worked, out. -
Members of the cabinet were
told in today" talk that the in
crease bf canal facilities was not
immediately necessary 1 as ? the
traffic in January, the peak load
carried so far, was only from 36
to 40 per cent of the total capa-
city of the big waterway.1; Since
that business represented a 50 per
cent increase within a year, how
ever, and since ; the trans-continental
railroads are viewed aaJ al
ready carrying all 'the business
they can handle it has occurred to
some cabinet members that the
problem of keeping the canal ca
pacity ahead of the possible traf
fic soon must be faced. "

Necessity for Public Schools,

, - canism Told. , n ';
If Representative Woodward of
Multnomah -county should, ever
lose his job in the legislature, or
lose his money, he could hit the
road with his keen wit, his splen
did ' diction, his experience - and
tire as a public speaker, and
"come back; as far as he cared
to go. The kind of oratory he
gave the Kiwanls club, Tuesday
noon, would charm the bardies off
the trees. ; . . " ;
Representative - , Woodward,
speaking1 before an -audience al
most entirely' different? ia person
nel from that which heard him at
the ' Chamber, of Commerce 'Mon
day noon, gave partly the same
general' argument on education. '
The. speaker denied that there
is danger,' or even possibility of
children being "lost" byot hav
ing ' religious instruction ? in the
schools. He agreed that .Tit
might even be possible to teach
some studies more effectively - In
private schools, with small classes
and much individual instruction;
but he held that the' one supreme
study that would leaven humanity
and wipe out; the caste and special
privilege class, distinctions that
tend to ruin society, is, for all to
learn to 11 ve together in a com
mon democracy, to learn toler
ance and sympathy and the facts
of how others live.
; Mr. Woodward purged. ;the sup
port of his measure providing for
school .voting franchise based on
parenthood and not -on tax . rec
ord alone. He ' stated that the
present law keeps front the school
polls the mothers who do not
have the home t ntheir own name
and fathers who deed the family
homes to the wife and mother. It
Ll ripples the very essence of school
interest and grogresa.-He charac
terized apathy In educational mat
ters as the ultimate and greatest
danger. He didnU fear the man
who hate dthe public schools, but

the bill. He said the state su

Senator Hare, In reply, charg
