THE PANAMA AND THE SUEZ
CANALS. s.

There il no reason why the peo-
pie OF the United States should
be disturbed by the threat OF a
reduction Of tolls at the Suez
Canal, nor should they worry u
that canal were to be opened to
the traffic of the world without
any charge. We are not build
ing the Panama Canal to take
traffic away fro the Mediterranean
route. hence there Is no occasion
for a rate war between the two
canals.
It is not the intention OF this
country 10 interfere with the com.
mefpe that goes by the way o.
Suez. nor does this country care
ANYTHING about it. We are build
ing the waterway across the 18th
nlus Of Panama to connect the At
lantic and Pacific, to shorten the
water route between our east AMI
west coasts, to make the ports OF
both COASTS Of South America ac-
cessible to our trade, and to give
our east coast more direct com
munication with the Pacific Is
lands and the Orient.
The tolls at both the Panama
and Suez Canals should be fixed
at amounts that will cover the
cost Of construction and opera
ton, but il is obvious that the
Panama Canal il bound to develop
!, large volume Of traffic, regard
less of what is done at the Suez
Canal. II England sees fit to re-
duce the tolls on the latter, that
is her own affair and does not
concern Us, because we are not
trying to capture the traffic be-
tween London, Liverpool and tbs
Orient, at the expense Of the
Suez Camel. That route has the
advantage in mileage to most
ports between which the ships us
ing Il now ply. hence the an.
nounced reduction in rates will
have less effect yn traffic than
some persons in this country seem
to believe.
