SMALL COST OF ITALY'S WAR

1t is surprising to see the small cost
of the war which Italy entered into
against Turkey for the possession of
Tripoli. The financial statement seems
to be about as follows, which we find
compiled in the New York Tribune:
The war cost was s77. 200. 900 for the
army aud $l4.400,0 900 for the navy, a
total of $9l SOC. 900. but of this total
about $40, O00. 900 vent for repairs of
dock yards aud for the accumulation
of stores which are still on hand for
use. leaving the actual net cost of the
war at less than s72. 900. 900.
But there is to be added to this sum
the cost involved in the peace negotia-
tions, viz. the indemnity to be paid to
Turkey. capitalized at $40. 900. 900 and
the expense of bringing the army home
and ~disbanding it, perhaps So. 200, 900,
leaving the net amount c~hargeable to
the war account at 800. 000. 900.
The financial strength shown by Italy
in this war has been a surprise to the
world. Financial affairs improved re.
markably in Italy during the war; ''busi-
ness was good, and the normal
of the government increased much more
rapidly than they had lone in the years
before the war" During the year of
the wal the increase in ordinary reve.
nue. due to expansion Of trade and gen.
eral improvements in business was $l5,-
SOC, 000. while the average yearly in.
crease in the preceding FIVE years was
only sl1. 800 1000.
Italy, therefore, got through the war
not only with her military prestige
increased, but with a financial ease that
was astonishing. The cost of support
ing military operations in Italy are wi
IDENTIFY very much less per man engaged
in the wa than they would be 10 the
United States under like conditions.
And probably the cost of the present
war in the Balkans will prove to be
even less. porportionately, Than the
small cost Of Italy's war for the con-
quest Of Tripoli. since the Balkan allies
couldn't borrow any money. and had to
get on with such resources as they had.

FIXES PANAMA CANAL RATES

President Taft has issued . proclams-
ton fixing the rates that foreign ship
ping shall pay for passage through the
Panama Canal. The proclamation,
made under authority of the canal bill
passed by Congress in August. estao-
fishes a merchant vessel rate Of $40
per net ton in actual carrying capacity.
with q reduction OF 40 per cent for ships
in ballast.
The provisions Of the proclamation
are as follows:
/. On merchant vessels carrying pas
seugers or cargo 81 20 per net vessel ton
-eacn 100 cubic feet-of actual earning
capacity.
2. On vessels in ballast without pas
sengers or cargo 40 per cent less than
the rate of tolls for vessels with psssen-
gers or cargo.
3. Upon naval vessels, other than
transports, c~olliers, hospital ships and
supply ships. 80 cents per displace-
ment ton.
4. Upon army aud navy transports.
golfers. hospital ships aud supply ships
$i.20 per net ton. and vessels to be
measured by the same rules as are en-
ployed in determining the net tonnage
of merchant vessels.
Americans Escape Tolls
The Secretary of War will prepare
and prescribe such rules for the
measurement Of vessels and such regu.
lations as may be necessary and proper
to carry this proclamation into full
force and effect.
American coastwise shipping was
exempted from toll payment by Con.
gress. 1t was to this provision Of the
act that Great Britain protested bat
no reference to the protest was made
in the Presidents proclamation.
American naval vessels are exempted
without specific mention either in tue
act Of Congress or the proclamation be-
cause the authorities believe il unueces-
sary TO explain the uselessness OF pay
ment from it's Navy Pocket Depart
to the one belonging to the Treasury
Department.
Same Rates As Suez
The rates named in the proclamation
are practically the same as those which
will be in force at tie Suez Canal mex
year.
The President has based his declara.
ton of rates upon the report and inves
tigation of Professor Emery r. johnson
of the University of Pennsylvania, al
expert designated by executive order fol
the task.
According to Professor Johnson's re-
port. the Panama Canal should be upon

Can Reduce Rate
Taking the estimates of the Canal
Commission for expenses Of operation
and maintenance Of the Canal and for
the improvements held to be necessary
at the end of a decade, Professor John
son figures that the rate per ton can be
reduced at the end Of ten years to 81.
Even with this rate, which he says prob
ably will correspond closely with the
rate that may then be enforced through
the Suez Canal, the United States will
obtain enough revenue from foreign ves-
sells TO pay all fixed charges. provide q
sinking fund of one per cen to retire
the Panama Canal bonds, and still End
q yearly balance.
Self Sustaining
The Johnson repoIt shows that a for.
eign traffic of about nine million tons
may be expected through the Canal
during its first two years of operation; q
traffic of more than IL million toni in
1920 and IA million tons in 1925. AL
though not maintaining that his esti.
mate is final, Professor johnson de.
clared hat an increase of go per cent q
decade in tonnage could be looked for
and that this would make the canal
self-sustaining in 20 years.
Fuel Expense Less
The Panama Canal must compete
with the Suez route for the commerce
of Eastern States, and of the Atlantic
Northern Sea ports of Europe with
the Orient east Of Singapore. For
voyages between eastern United States
and the Orient fuel expenses via Panama
will be less than by way of Suez, and
with equal tolls at each canal the
Panama route readily will secure the
traffic.
In the Presidents proclamation the
rate upon war vessels was fixed at
90 cents a displacement ton and Pro.
fessor johnson had this comment to
make:
The tolls upon merchant vessels
should be fixed low enough to enable
the Panama Canal effectively to pro-
mote the commerce of the United States
and the world but the United State:
Government is not called upon t. make
the Panama Canal tolls upon warship:
low for the purpose of tightening tbs
naval burdens for foreign countries il

pay tolls high enough to cover costs anc
