VALUE OF THE CANAL

IA EOPLE did not realize the
I5 value of the Panama ca
y nal until it was closed by
the big slide. Now the facts
as to its benefits are being
brought home to the shipping
world. A ship has arrived in
New York after being forced
to go around South America
because the canal was closed
The time required to make the
trip from Balboa, at the Pa
Cific end of the canal, to New
York was 81 days. Had the
canal been in use the voyage
from Balboa to New York
could have been made in five
days. 1t means a delay of one
in traffic and vast ad-
