AMER|CAN|NTERESTS
WARNED TO WORK
l.. FOR CANAL TRADE
John Barrett, of Pan-Ameri-
can Union, Reports on
European Activities.

Director General John Barrett of the
Pan-American Union has prepared an
exhaustive report on what European
governments and commercial interests
are doing preparatory to the opening of
the Panama. canal, which event, 1t Is
noted, Is only about eighteen months
in the future. The report comes after
a careful study of the situation made
during Director Barretts recent official
visit to Europe.
1t urges that unless the manufactur-
ing, exporting, importing and shipping
interests Of the United States exert
themselves to theslimit during the next
eighteen months, they will find them
selves distanced from the start by for
eign competitors in deriving practical
advantages from the canal and the
rapidly developing field of Latin Amer
lea"
He states that every port in Europe
is being improved to the highest degree
of efficiency; that foreign shipbulding
yards are buster than at any time in
their history; that European govern
menst are instructing their diplomatic
phase Of trade opportunity expected to
result from the canal, and chambers of
commerce and commercial organizations
are cooperating In every way possible.
Such nations as Japan. China, Austria
liza and others, which have herktofore
been behind the United States in taking
advantage OF trade opportunities, are
&esoribed as keenly alert to the posi-
countries and are building many new
ships.
The South American countries are
also improving their ports and show
great preliminary activity.
Director Barrett urges. concluding his
exhaustive study, that while the United
States Government and some of its com.
mercial organizations are doing much
n "a of
in view Of these facts, redouble their
efforts. Otherwise they will trail In
the international race for the trade OF
the Panama canal. They must take al
ready for the Panama canal and &c
after Pan-Amertcan commerce"

Instructions Issued Which
Will Mean Walking on
Short Trips in City.

Carfare is scarce in the Government
service.
Instructions have been issued in all
the departments, to division and bureau
chiefs, to hold carfare expenses down to
the absolute minimum.
Congress at its last session determined
t. take at least one little sly dig at
Washington public service corporations,
and the estimates for carfare of mes
sengers and others compelled to travel
between departments and about the city
were ruthlessly slashed. This action will
undoubtedly compel lot of walking on
short trips, as orders have already gone
out not to issue car tickets unless they
were for a trip of reasonable length.
Only one carfare allowance remains
intact, and that Is for the postal service.
1t aggregates in the neighborhood OF
500, 600. This sum, however, is to take
city carriers on their routes throughout
the nation and does not apply to the de-
partmental service proper.

of the csrfare situation. With other
