This does not necessarily mean a
raise in the prices now being paid by
iahe consumer, as the members of the
committee and experts of the Depart

delivery of milk certain overhead
charges may be reduced to such an ex-

ditional revenue without taxing the
general public.

meeting was called. The committee
recently appointed by the producers
of Maryland and Virginia have re-
quested the Agriculture Department to
furnish data gathered from all parts
OF the country on the cost of produc-
tion and distribution of the product.
The Department has also been asked
to gather as complete statistics as pos

ATTEMPT TO DISCREDIT
PANAMA CANAL SEEN

Oficials here yesterday declared their
belief that propaganda to undermine
the public faith in the Panama canal
was under way. Its real object, they
said, probably was to create sentiment
for the building of a new isthmian
canal over the Nicaragua. route.
1t was said agitators are taking ad-
vantage of minor mishaps at the canal
such as slides, which were foreseen
by the Panama canals builders and
were predicted for a few years after
the completion of the waterway.
The Panama canal, it was declared
will be adequate for all purposes for
many years to come, and there is no
need. either from an economic or from
a military standpoint, OF a new canal
over the Nicaraguan route.
