Utilize the Railroad.

Mr.. Wallace pointed out that in con-
sideration of additional time required for
the construction of a seal level canal,
the prompt and efficient utilization of
the Panama railroad is a matter of great
Importance
Mr.. Wallace said there are two sug-
gestions which had been subjected TO
careful review because of criticisms pass
ed on them First that the railroad should
be substituted for the canal while the
latter is being constructed. If so, he said,
it should be completely separated in man.
agement and control from any steamsh nip
line at either end and the transfers from
ship to ship should be at a fiat rate per
ton regardless of classification except that
light and bulky articles should be rated
at a certain number of cubic feet to the
ton This rate, he contended should not
exceed s. per ton and be reduced as bust
ness Increases.
In closing, Mr.. Wallace said: 1T is
much easier to retain and regulate the
movement of traffic along lines to which
It has been accustomed than it is to re-
gain it after it has been once diverted
TO new routes and the committee ought
not to overlook the completion of the
Tehuantepec route which is now being
provided with every kind of facility for
handling traffic from ship to cars and
from cars to ship arross that isthmus. and
which 1t is suggested ought to be immed-

WALLACE TALKS
OF CANAL PLANS
Urges Approximately Straight
Sea Level Canal
SHOWS THE BIG SAVING
Judged BY the Traffic Hauled BY the
suez Canal the Project viii
Pay Well From the
Start.

Washington, March 2O-John e. Wal
milan canal commission today testified
before the Senate committee concerning
the type of canal to be constructed across
the isthmus of Panama. He was asked to
state his views and prefaced his examina-
ton with a general statement.
In advocating an approximately straight
sea level canal of ample width and depth
as the best type Mr.. Wallace urged that
any other plan which places restrictions
on the probable permanency of the canal
itself as we'll as on the speed, size and
number of vessels passing through it.,
must render the canal far less valuable;
that the only deterrant factors in this
connection are relative time and cost and
that in approaching the discussion the
question of how much money the Ameri-
can people supposedly are willing to in
vest in the canal and how much time they
are willing to wait for its proper accom-
plishment should be considered.
Saving Would Be Opposed.
lie said that judged by the capitaliza-
ton and dividends now paid on the stock
OF the Suez canal, it is apparent that the
rates charged for transit through it are
excessive and that thus a material saw
ing would be offered commerce by the
Panama route. Assuming that the pres
ent tonnage through Suez, say ten mil
lion tons per year would pass through
the Panama canal. even at a dollar a
ton there would be- he said, IAN approx
innate income of 100000 which is suf-
ficient to Justify an expenditure of $780,
OO00o0,p The latter figure he deemed am
pie to construct the sea level canal. As
to the additional time involved, Mr.. Wal
lace predicted that on basis ''of reason
able energy and the use of proper bus'-
ness methods of administration, a sea
level canal can be fully completed in ten,
