AN IMPORTANT
CANAL DECISION
Material For Construction to be Pur.
chased in Markets Of World.
WILL BUY SHIPS IN EUROPE

Washington. May 16.-The executive
committee Of the Isthmian canal com
mission decided to purchase in the
markets Of the world the material and
ships necessary for the building of the
Panama canal
This important decision was reach ID
with some reluctance, because il was
appreciated by Secretary Taft and the
executive committee that there would
surely be great outcry from two
great interests in this country. and
producers OF material and the shin
owners II the purchases were not linn
tied TO the American products. But il
was decided that the money cousider-
alton was so great that Il could not oe
ignored. for Il was held that in cases
fully 50 per cent. more would DO
charged for material needed in canal
construction than the same goods could
be procured for in Europe. Chief Engi-
neer Wallace. for instance. showed that
Two ships, in addition 10 those running
between New York and Colon and
owned by the Panama Railroad COM
pSny. were absolutely necessary TO
carry the food supplies and material
needed for the work. No American
ships GOULD Be bought at any reason
able price. and when II came to build
Ing such ships Il was found. according
70 Secretary Tafts statement. that
while he could buy two 6OOO-ton ships
in Europe for $4,000 IL would cost
H,4oo. 900 TO build such ships here. And
IN addition. while the European ships
could be had at once II would take al
least is months 10 secure American
boats. Therefore IL was decided to buy
the ships in Europe or rather In any
port where they could be had cheap
est and obtained the quickest. AS 20
material needed for canal construction.
the committee decided. that by reserV-
INK 10 itself the right to purchase In
the worlds markets. IL would AZ least
oblige American manufacturer 20 give
them the benefit OF their foreign prices
II they wish to sell goods TO the COM
mittse.
Secretary Taft explained that he fel'
obliged TO endorse this decision be-
cause. having given congress every op-
portunity 10 give contrary direction.
he felt that the very terms OF the canal
act provided that IL should be con
structod At the lowest possible cost.
