Inc Panama Canal.
The very satisfactory progress made
on the Panama canal last year has
continued and there is every reason
to believe that the canal will be COM
pleted as early as the 1st OF July, 1913.
unless something unforeseen occurs,
This is about 18 months before the
time promised by the engineers.
We are now near enough the com
pletion of the canal to make 1t I'm
peratiI ely necessary that legislation
should be enacted to fix the method by
i0fa NO hal vol rot caSN
and controlled and the zone governed.
the fact is that today there is no stat
utory law by authority of which the
president is maintaining the govern-
ment or the zone. The implied author
ity OF the president to maintain civil
government in the zone may be de-
rived from the manoarory direction
given MIN In the original Spooner act,
by which he was commanded to build
the canal; but certainly, now THAI the
canal IS about@te be completed and to
pc put under permanent manage
ment, there ought TO pc specihc statu-
tory authority Tor IT'S regulation and
control ana Tor the government Of the
zone. winch we mold Tor the chief and
main purpose OF operating the canal

ming that congress- deems wise We own
the canal. 1t was our money that buih
it, We have the right to charge tolls
for its use. Those tolls must be the same
to everyone: but when we are dealing
with our own ships. the practice Of many
governments of substituting their own
merchant vessels is so well ESTABLISHED in
general that subsidy equal to the tolls
an equivalent remission OF tolls. cannot
be held to be Discrimination the.
use of the canal The practjce in tbe.
Suez canal makes this clear.
