Stevens also says that our CONNER
cial relations with the islands of the
Pacific and the far east will be little
benefited. Our coal and wheat centers
are inland. Their products have TO be
started on their way by rail- When
once loaded on cars il would not be
cheaper to ship to the Atlantic and
then ship to the east by the way OF
the canal than 1t would be to send d.
rectly to the ports on our Pacific coast
and then get on board ship.
A LOOK AHEAD.
Furthermore, MIR. Stevens believes
that our coal supply IT fast diminish
ing. and that China will be the source
of future coal supply. Siberia. he says,
win be the wheat country of the fu-
ture, with India as n close second.
Mr. Stevens maintains that the Pan
anna canal will not meet expenses and
viii cost more than is expected. The
date of the finishing of the canal he
fixes as Janaury, 1915. The idea of the
canal being of great value TO US In
times of warfare, since our naval froces
can be quickly sent from one coast to
the other. he says is absurd. 1t would
take days for the ships to get around,
and during that time hostile shells
could have done their work
MIR. Stevens believes that It would he

money that the canal win cost into a
