CONTROL OF CANAL MATTERS.
Possible Transfer to the State Depart
mpnf

1t seems to be generally accepted that the
control Of all matters in connection with
the construction of the Panama canal Is
to be transferred from the War Depart
ment to the State Department. Under the
law the work is to be performed under the
direction of the President, and he originally
intrusted it to Secretary Taft on the gen.
eral ground that all national engineering
works were properly the business of the
War Department. 1t is now realized that
Secretary Taft has great deal more than
his proportionate share of the government
work and responsibility, and 1t is with a
view of relieving him of portion of his
official burdens that the President suggested
the ACCESSIBILITY of the transfer OF the Pan
anna canal work to the State Department
1t is understood that one of the argu-
ments used by the President to induce Sec
rotary Root to re-enter the cabinet was
his personal desire that Mr.. Root should un-
dertake the direction Of that important en-
terprise. His acceptance of the trust would
enable Secretary Taft to devote more of
his time to the consideration of important
questions affecting the government of the
Philippines and the business of the army
generally. 1t is known that Secretary Taft
has no personal ambitions in connection
with the Panama canal work and is en-
tirely willing, as a matter OF general ex-
pedency that its supervision should be
transferred to Secretary Root as the head
of the State Department.
