PANAMA CANAL

DR. ]. RUSSELL SMITH, instructor
in commerce, University of Penn
~ sylvania, devotes a chapter of his
book, 1.-THE Organization Of Ocean Com
nerce," to a consideration of the effects
of the Panama canal upon trade routes.
He points out that the routes of Aus
tralasian trade will be materially
changed by the opening of the Panama
canal, and goes on to say: There will
be a new steamer route worthy TO be
classed with the worlds trunk routes:
the Australasian trunk, connecting
Australia, New Zealand and the 18th
mus of Panama. This new route will
ing trunk routes, but none of these will
be entirely replaced. The heaviest loser
will be the South African trunk route;
the Mediterranean Asiatic route may
lose some of the traffic now nassing to
Australia via the Red Sea; other con-
tributors to the new route will be the
Pacific Coast Australasian
and possibly the New Zealand Cape
Horn branch of the South American
trunk route"
Even a merely glancing and casual
consideration Of this subject demon
strates beyond reasonable doubt that
one of the principal results of the open
ing Of the canal viii be to increase the
Importance of California as a seaboard
country. Competition in rates will keep
the railroads from playing any more
tricks on this state; the industries of
Southern California are certain to be
developed to a much greater extent
than Is now practicable. and it is
equally certain San Pedro will be one
OF the principal seaports Of the United
States.

DECLARES VoLUNTARiEs DO
NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS

POMONA, Dec. 4.-[Editor Heraldl:
I would like to ask c. H. H. how he
can ask: Are not such promised bene-
fits (full pay for service) to workers
the pretended reason for high protec-
ton and every other measure by which
the workers are enslaved?" When have
the capitalists made such promise? IL
the "voluntaries'' win give the workers
the same1 full pay" Ouil dinner paid
that the capitalists promise, then let
us quit arguing.
I have put the following question
three times to the "Voluntaries:" How
do you propose to make it possible for
the penniless and propertyless worker
to co-operate?" But they keep mum.

If German is to be added to the

why not Spanish, which is the Ian

if Spanish, why not French, the Ian
