CANAL CRITICS SCORED BY
 GOE ETHhLS

WASHINGTON, Nov. A. Sharp language is employed by Major Gen. eral George W. Goethals, governor of the Panama canal zone. in replying to published criticisms of the big water
 "ay which he charges have seriot sly affected its commercial rating. In his annual report, made public by the war department, the governor declares that the earth movements which have frequently interrupted traffic through the canal finally will be overcome for all time.
 General Goethals goes into a lengthy review of the geological problems
 hirh have been encountered, of the steps taken 10 overcome such ob. 8tacles and the measure Of success at
 aimed. So far as the Culebra cut is concerned. he said, the worst is over. the intervals between movements are ecoming greater and the quantities yf material less"
 The report replies to the published statements of Professor Benjamin Le- Roy Miller, of Lehigh University, and former Senator Thomas Kearns. of Utah. The charges made in each case, General Goethals brands as "errone- ous, uuWarrautcd and unfair" It is shown in the report that during a part oi he fiscal year 1916. during
 hieh the canal Was opened, All yes scls passed from the Atlantic to the Pacific and 21t in the other direction Of all these, only 91 were engaged tn the American coastwise trade.
 The total cargo tonnage handled was a14o.0fG, as against 4,969,7 ,792 the preceding year, although the water Way was in operation for only five months last year Commenting upon the reduction in coastwise traffic as shown, however, the report says it was due principally to the scarcity of ships for foreign trade which drew American coasting vessels into that service.
 Difficulties of the present system Of Ievying tolls are recited and General Goethals again recommends that leg isl4tion be sought making the earning capacity of a ship the basis upon which charges should be computed. He points out that $2.3g9.S30 were collect ed in tolls during 1916 Had the so- called Panama canal rules applied in measuring ships he adds, this sum would have been increased by approxi- mately SfO0. 900
