FREE TRADE AGENCY
PROPOSED BY COPLEY
IN THE CANAL ZONE
Project for Making Zone a
Free Trade Territory Is
Being Worked Out
By Him Now

Washington, January 1S-A project
for making part of the Panama canal
zone free trade territory with a view
to establishing sort of clearing house
for North, Central and South America n
commerce Is being worked out by Rep
resentative Copley of Illinois, who will
present it to Congress in the form of a
bill. The plan is along the general
lines of free zone arrangement tried
out in Hamburg, Hong Kong and Sin
gapore.
Mr. Copley said tonight he believed
after the canal has been in operation
for five years all nations would be
ready to agree to Joint action to pro-
tect the canal and to let the United
States have exclusive right to it as a
belligerent in the event of war with
any other power. By that time, he
added, there will be no reason why
warehouses should not be built in the
zone by manufacturers in the United
States
"A few manufacturers" Mr.. Copley
said, could get together and send down
1ull cargo of goods. put it into a
warehouse and from there ship to All
parts of the world. Representatives
could be sent to cities of South and
Central America to induce merchants
to go to Panama to inspect the wares
from the United States This project
would open up great commercial
iield and splendid opportunity for
great and small business"
The bill would provide that the pres
eht government commisary and cold
storage plant in the canal zone be re-
tanned
Mr.. Copley said that at Hamburg the
plan was working well, 24OO acres hav
ing been, set aside there by the Ger
man government for the upbuilding of
its trade. At Singapore there is a free
zone where trade amounts to more than
one-seventh of all the combined i'm
ports and exports of America.

There was comparatively little in

and women shared even less than
previously in the pleasures and BUSH
