one day while he lay asleep and a

RAILROADS. AND THE C.AN.\E.

a loophole through which foreign
res might enter the coastwiso trade
of the United States is pointed out ill
a letter recently mad" public i'll an
eastern journal. The writer suggests
might load American goods on its
ships at Boston. transport them
through the Panama canal to Van
couvcr. and carry them thence by rail
into the Pacific coast cities Of the
United States. free of duty. Thus.
it is held that if steamship lines con-
trolled by domestic railroads should
he excluded from the canal. the bust
ness might be captured by a foreign
railroad operating a steamship line.
The canal would have been built for
the benefit Of foreigners.
The law prohibits the rcentry of
American goods duty free when such
goods have been taken to a foreign
port of water, but there is nothing,
apparently, which prohibits the free
entry of American goods from a for
cign port by rail. Obviously. the
coastwise trade will have to be pro-
tected by an amendment to the law
which will prevent foreign rail and
amc lines from combining and
handling our coastwisc business.
The argument has been made that
steamship lines in the coastwise trade
should be placed under the iurisdic-
ton of the interstate COM
mission in order TO prevent discrimi-
nations. rebates. an1 destruction OF
competition through railroad control.
There is A strong sentiment against
permitting railroad-owned ships to
use the canal. in competition with in
dependent lines. But 1t is a grave
question whether steamship rates
should be regulated by law. or wheth-
er an attempt to regulate them would
prove successful. 1t seems to be gen.
orally believed that free competition
on the water Is desirable and that it
will regulate itself. while operating
as a natural regulator of railroad
rates. If the railroads are permitted
to own steamships, however. it is cas-
lily to be foreseen hat real competi-
ton on the water or between steam
ships n railroads would disappear.
The railroads would control the ship
ping. and thus they would virtually
