WALLACE FOR
SEA LEVEL
Statement on Canal to Senate
Committee
JUSTIFIES SEA-LEVEL
Extra Time and Cost Arc Declared to
Be Prudent - A Lock Canal
Should Be Planned for
Change.
JUSTIFIES SEA-LEVEL

Washington, d. G., March 21.-~,Iohn
+. Wallace, former chief engineer of
1.-THE Panama canal commission, appeared
before the Senate committee ON inter-
oceanic canals yesterday, and advocated
Approximately straight Yea level canal
lof ample width and depth as the best
I type. He urged that any other plan
which places restrictions upon the prob
able permanancy of the canal itself, as
we'll as upon the speed and the size and
number OF vessels passing through it,
must render the canal far less yaluabIe
that the only deterrant factors in this
connection are relative fine and cost,
and that in approaching the discussion
the question Of how much money the
american people supposedly are willing
to invest IN the canal and how long a
time they are willing To wait for it'll
proper accomplishment should be consid-
cred.
He said that, Judged by the capitaliza-
tion and dividends now paid upon the
stock OF the Siiez canal. ii is apparent
That the rates charged for transit
through il are excessive, and that thus
q material saving would be offered com
merce by the Panama route
A sea level canal would be fully com.
plcted in IL years, said Mr.. Wallace, and
h lock canal, even ii only GO feet above
sen level, would require only three years
less, He reiterated that increased eff
cheney could be secured il the work was
handled by as ingle contracting firm, I'M
hampered by government methods and
with possibly utilization Of two shifts
instead Of one shift OF 10 hours.
Mr.. Wallace contended. ii IL was not
10 much 70 hope, hat The committee
will decline to recommend any form Of
canal which II not capable Of being in
the future transformed into sea level
canal without undue interference with
the world traffic or undue additional
cost.
Mr.. Wallace said the railroad could be
substituted for the canal while the lat
ter is being constructed, and should be
completely separated in management
and control from any steamship lire at
either end, and the transfer from ship
70 ship should be at a ilat rate per ton
regardless Of classification, except that
light and bulky articles should be rated
at certain number Of cubic feet 10
the ton, This rate, he commended, should
not exceed 81 per ton, and be reduced
a. business increases.
In closing, MIR. Wallace said; 1T is
much easier 10 retain and regulate the
movement OF traffic along lines to which
it has been accustomed than il Is 10 re-
gain il after il has once been 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 across that isthmus,
and which il is suggested ought to be
immediately provided at Panama
