Congressman SherIey Tells the
President Canal Zone Is Un-
easy Over Intentions.

. Uneasiness in the Canal Zone as TO
the intentions of the Administration
regarding the permanent civil gov
ernment of the canal territory, caused
additional pressure to be brough: to
bear on President Wilson today for a
definite expression from him on the
subject. Swagar Sherley, of Ken
tUcky, ranking member of the House
Committee on Appropriations. told the
President that the present uncer
tainty among the permanent residents
of the zone is seriously embarrassing
the business interests of the COM
n.unity. The President promised to
take the matter UT as soon as pos
sIhie.
Mr.. Sherley has recently returned
from a trip to the Canal Zone, and
what he told the President today was
TIE result of personal observation.
He likewise demanded in the in
terest OF economy that the President
insist upon the various departments
of the government fling financial
budgets with the House, so that the
House might have a clearer under
standing of the proposed expendi-
lures. He expressed the opinion that
n properly standardized budget would
contribute materially to reduction
Of the Government expenses.
