Editorial Comment I The way ;oernm-nl liiUiK-femetit (loos business ami kct'ps books the i I'unuma Canal shows for last year a; prollt of J2.3T.S9. Hut If the United States Government, in behalf of the American people, managed its affairs and figured financial result thee way a private corporation, in behalf of Its stockholders, has figured Us results and keep its books, the Panama Canul a business proposition would look I like a financial wreck. As a matter of fact the difference between the operating expenses and the receipts of the Panama Canal the aforesaid 12,387,599 called by a wild flight of Imagination profits. Is only a drop In the bucket toward paying the fixed charges on the collossal bonded ddbt Investment of theAmericanpeople In the Tanama Canal. Including cost of construction, pur chase of rights, annual payments to Panama, fortifications, etc., the Ameri can people had put Into the canal, up to June 30, 1919, mora than 8159,000,000. With nothing ver earned toward meet ing the interest on that debt, not to mention payments Into the sinking fund to extinguish the debt, the canul stands the American people In today more than half a billion of dollars. Because of valuable privileges going with the Panama bonds, put out to build and equip the canal, they were Issued, some of them eft as low an In terest rate as 2 per cent a year and some at 3 per cent Even on this high, ly artificial basis of figuring Interest the socalled profit on the Panama Can al last year was not half enough to meet the abnormally, low Interest charge on the Panama Canal bonds and other Investment. It was not a quarter enough. The whole gross receipts of the Pan ama Canal last year some S8.93S.371 even If not a red copper had been de ducted for operating expenses would not have been enough to pay the In terest on the Panama Canal debt and other investment of the American peo ple in the gigantic project. If we figure that any Investment should be worth at least the interest which the Government has to pay on Liberty bonds, and If we figure depre ciation at a merely nominal rate, and If we virtually Ignore sinking fund charges, the Panama Canal, as a busi ness proposition, ought to earn, at the very low rate of 6 per cent to cover everything, not less than 130,000,000 a year. This might by a miracle clean up the debts In the course of genera tions and keep the balance sheet from being smeared all over with red Ink figures. It could not do much more. Of course, the Panama Canal nevr was built to make money directly and openly, like a railroad or a' factory or a bank or a department store. It was conceived and built by wise, far-seeing statesmanship, and half a billion of the American people's money was poured Into It to confer a great water trans portation benefit upon the commerce of this country and of the whole wide world. But for anybody to talk of an annual profit of more than two and a third million dollars coming out of the canal when actual loss can be meas ured anywhere from twenty to forty millions of dollars a year Is something of a financial Joke.
