FOOD RAN SHORT
AT PANAMA CANAL
Gov. Magoon Explains Why
United States Went into the
Grocery Business.
New York Sun Special Service.

Washington, Sept, Ex-Governor Ma
COON Of the Panama canal zone has
written a remarkable letter in which
he declares that a crisis has been
reached along the canal strip SO far as
the feeding Of the employees is con-
cerned. The communication is adj
dressed to Don Arias, who protested
against the United States government
establishing commissariat.
Governor Magoon states that the
business men of the region are utterly
unable to cope with the situation. There
is not enough food for the zone popu-
lation and such food as is supplied is
sold at excessive prices. Before it was
decided to conduct the commissariat
every effort was made to secure an
adequate amount of provisions at fair
prices. The Panama government re-
duced its import duties the railroad and
steamship lines reduced freights so per
cent; by agreement of the government
the commission, banks and other inter
ests, the rate of exchange was reduced
to 2 per cent, having before been as
high as SO per cent, and stable cur.
rency had been secured. Yet all these
utterly failed to secure enough provi-
sions to feed the workers. There was
nothing left for it but for the govern.
ment to go into the storekeeping bust.

related to differences over the article

According to the Japanese, the under.

OF the two countries not to fortify their
