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. New Tork Sun.

Kelly Lumber company at Wlnallng
which has been Idle for a number of

has been Idle since the fuel bin of the

old orders.
