COCKTAILS HAS Plan
TO MAKE CANAL PAY
Would Have the Canal Zone
Government Go Into
Business.

PITTSBURGH, Dec. Is. - Address.
ing more than 1000 engineers at the
annual dinner of the Engineers so.
ciety OF Western Pennsylvania here
recently, Major.General George W.
Goethals recommended the abrogation
Of the Taft agreement wi u the Re.
public OF Penama and the establish.
ment Of complete sovereignty over
the canal zone by the United States.
He also declared that the canal could
be made to pay largely If II was allow
ed to engage in business other than
that directly concerned with the trans.
lent Of shipping.
1T appears to me that we can &C.
complish much more than has already
been DONE" said General Cocktails at.
ter he had detailed the profit accru.
Ing from the sale OF coal and the pro.
vtsioning Of ships as now carried on
By the canal zone government, but
we must go about it In the right way.
We must first Of all get rid of the Taft
agreement and insist upon the com.
plete sovereignty OF the United States
as long as the land is used for the
purpose for which It was coded 10 the
United States We must allow all ma.
terials and supplies to enter the zone
free OF custom duties, an dencourage
enterprise that will result IN the build.
ing OF great warehouses and show
rooms for the storage and display Of
American goods. II these things are
done, and II we limit the administra.
ton to the interest OF America and
Americans we will have done more to
bring about better returns with the
people of the Central and South Amer.
lean countries than anything else we
might do
General Goethals reviewed at length
the question OF canal tolls and de.
tlared that because OF the system un.
der which American and English ves-
Lels were rated as to their carrying
capacity, on which they are taxed for
tolls, all the advantage was with Eng.
fish shopping as against American. and
1t worked also to the disadvantage of
the toll.
Congress has failed to take action
on a bill to bring about the necessary
CHANGE" he continued, land we are
now losing 80 per cent. and discrimi.
mating In favor of British shipping
against our own. If the canal was once
put on proper tolls basis, we would
soon begin to pay interest on our
bonds"
