D[PLORFS LACK OF
AMERICAN VESSELS
Congressman ]. R. Knowland
Says That Is Only Regret
of Panama Canal


The various phases of the Panama
canal were discussed by Congressman
Joseph r. Knowland at the regular
luncheon Of the Commonwealth club
in the st. Francis hotel yesterday, the
speaker declaring that the one regret
in connection with the undertaking was
the lack of American merchant vessels
to make use of it.
Viewing it from this standpoint" he
said, "one is apt to believe that the
cost of the Panama canal was not war
ranted; but there is no knowing what
the future is going to bring forth, and,
as it is. the canal will play an ex-
tremely important part in the naval de-
fenses of our shores"
He said that the original estimate of
the cost of the canal was $4,000, 600,
but later estimates showed it would
reach 1925, 1000, 900. OF this sum $685.
100000 is being spent on the actual
construction of the canal and the re-
mainder on sanitation work. He said
that at the rate of progress now being
made the canal would be opened in jan
uary of 1915.
Though the cost of the canal has far
outgrown its original estimate" he
said, I'VE have heard no complaint from
the American people; because all re-
aliZe the vast Importance of the under
taking anu know that the money being
spent there is being spent wisely.

and others for domestic use and to
school and road districts.
This free use is confined to those
who need it for domestic purposes. 1t
is not given away for any kind of COM
