Plan TO Put Control or the Work In the
Presidents Hands.

WASHINGTON, Jan. "A bill TO abolish
the Isthmian Canal Commission and place
the work Of constructing the Panama
Canal in the hands Of the President and
~such persons as he may employ has been
prepared by Representative Mann OF IL
linois. a member OF the Interstate Com
mcrce Committee of the House. 1t repre-
sents the views Of Chairman Hepburn and
other members Of the committee who visited
Panama in November.
Tho bill will be introduced az soon az
Congress meets tomorrow and will no
doubt open the fight that appears to be
probable between the friends Of the Canal
commission and those who believe that
tho commission has already proved its I'M
potence in actual canal construction.
Mr.. Mann's bill Is brief but very sweeping.
II provides that until the end OF the flity-
ninth Congress the operations on the 18TH

Commission, is repealed by the bill. de-
tailed report of operations and expenditures
is required annually. as Is also an estimate
Of the expenditure that can prohtably
and economically be made during the sue
oeeding fiscal year.
The purpose of the bill in limiting the
authority OF the President and his agents
TO the end OF the Fifty-ninth Congress is TO
enforce a review OF the entire Canal situa-
ton in that Congress in order that reforms
in administration may be instituted by
Congress II found desirable. The estimate

There is n divided opinion in Congress as
TO the value of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission as an agent of the President in
building the Canal. Representative Mann's
bill. if passed. would unquestionably place
Chief Engineer Wallace in supreme control
on the Isthmus, making him answerable
directly to the President and 10 Congress
for the work.
This is The proposition favored by
majority OF the Interstate Commerce Com
mttee OF the House and Mr.. Mann's bill
will lie referred 10 that committee. 1t Is
understood that the Senators very gen.
orally are not ready to make such sweep
ing change in the organization of the Canal
construction system.
Reduction in the number Of members OF
the Canal commission. but the retention of
that plan of supervision is favored how
ever, by a number Of leading Senators.

Germany's manufacturers would prevent

In one respect the Germans surpass US

Consequently when, as now, we want 1t

They seem to regard foreign markets
as dumping grounds for products made

making goods specially to fit those needs,
these manufacturers regard their foreign
trade as something useful only when the
home demand falls OFF. Many manufact-
urers print their catalogues and price list

measurements in feet and inches, and en-
